I have a Caroni FL1400 3pt hitch tiller. Recently hit a rock while tilling and lost rotation. This model does not appear to have a smooth shaft coupling with a shear pin like you see on other equipment (like a bush hog). The shaft running into the gear box rotates with the PTO but nothing transferring to rotate the tines. I did not have PTO slip clutch on the tractor. Anyone have experience with this model / problem? Is there possibly another shear pin that I am missing or will I need to tear into the gear box and chain drive transfer case to diagnose? Attaching a parts diagram for the tiller. I don't see any kind of shear pin in the mechanical drive train.

Chances are you broke the roller chain, you need to open the chain case to see if it has snapped.
Drain the oil out of the chain case and remove the side housing-part no. 8 to see if the roller chain
is broken first.
You should have a new gasket or PERMATEX form a gasket on hand to make a new gasket and gear oil.
