Anyone know what could be wrong here?
right, I've replaced the tiller / rotavator seals and refurbed all that end and topped all up with oil (EP 90)
I've rebuild the engine top end as water got in the engine, that's all fine too.
Now yesterday on a test run in the back yard, all was well, engine running, engaged the wheels and it moved forward (this model has no reverse or second gear) so that was all fine and then I engaged the rear tines and they were working fine too, the lever pulled in smoothly and we were off.
I then loaded it into the trailer today, went to my allotement and started it up, however, when I tried to engage the rotavator blades the lever is really stiff and they won't engage :-(
Im wondering if anyone has any idea what this could be offhand, before I have to go and strip the middle gearbox out :-( Oh and the gearbox has also been topped up with the recommended ep90 gear oil.
Any help appreciated
