Cub Cadet Tiller Input Shaft Seized

BTW Rivets your wish is granted.

On the shaft he is trying to remove, yes 100% are either bushings or ball. Don’t go away mad because you lost this one, just know you can’t win them all. I know you’ll see this as you can’t really stay hidden.

Sorry Fellas, I know better to list the model #.

It is model: 030212 - D282B

I can hardly believe a ball bearing would seize up if I parked the tiller after running fine w/o damage.

Thanks for the model number.
There is two different sections for this till with input. Going the image post you are working on the Chain Case Assembly 04924


748-0154



741-0220
No image found that looks right. May be NLA. May have to use two 748-0154 and cut to the correct length.


The input shaft here uses two bushings. And yes when bushing are use the shaft and bushings can seize from rust. I currently working on a Gravely ZTR that all three idlers arms are seized from rust even the part of the system uses plastic bushings. It took a hydraulic press to get them apart. One so seized that both the plastic and steel bushing came out as one piece.

Thx StarTech,

Should this sprocket/shaft assembly just slide out from the inside of the case if the bearing is free? I don't see any room for a spring clip to hold the shaft in the bearing.

I'll clean and soak the assembly over the weekend and try to brake it loose using the vice technique.

 

[StarTech]

From what I can see on the IPL it should slide out once rust and burrs are removed. No keepers shown.

A little heat on the outside of the case, with a propane torch should also help. Will probably have to do a little repainting when done.

I expect it is a ball bearing and it didn't survive the Flood or pressure washing.
Look for a donor machine or get it weighed. Sorry about your luck.

 

[Go-Rebels]

No flood.

Never pressure washed the tiller.
