With the Yanmar I just bought came a used Yanmar tiller. I had a problem with the tiller for which the dealer sent me the correct parts in a timely manner. I got it working. I filled the gear box and chain drive with 85-140 gear oil as per instructed. I ran it in the air on the tractor for about 5 min. and everything looked good. Then, a leak developed between the tines and the inner housing of the lower bearing. I know there is an oil seal in there. Do these go bad regularly? Is the oil I'm using too viscous? Where would I find the lower bearing inner oil seal for a Yanmar tiller? That could be impossible. Its still seeping out.
