Tiller Maschio Tiller Problems

[jenkinsph]

I just checked out Motion Industries for you, tried to post a link but it seems to time out, do a search for flange bearings though or post the mounting hole spacing, shaft diameter etc and I can look it up.


Looks alot cheaper than what prices you posted and you can order online.

I just checked out Motion Industries for you and here is a link to a page where you can select a replacement bearing. Error on Motion Industries

There is an error on that link but I can check Motion out though. I am probably going to get the bearing like that. I just hope I can find the housing cheaper.

On those bearings, once you find the correct size, can you select a better "type" of bearing? One that has a longer life etc etc?

Just to see pricing I checked out flanged bearings for a 1.125 (1 1/8) inch shaft in cast iron flange and found several from about $45 to $110 dollars. This includes the pictured cast iron flange that you show is galled. The price is for the bearing and flange combined.



edit
You can find higher life bearings but since the speed of the shaft is so slow I wouldn't bother, more important to select the right design criteriea ball ro roller, tapered roller, seal type that matches your use.

Never fails, at least for me. Find a deal then to get it operating properly you spend another purchase price in parts. And... it doesn't cost time / money for hours of parts searches eventially finding it is for another model.
I check first for parts availability. If they aren't available keep looking. Learned my lesson with the Ford 1200 series tractor.

Joe,

I hear you, I tend to buy new implements or build them from scratch because I can't find much to choose from in my locale. That said if this tiller is in good shape and cleaned up it may still be a good deal with a few parts replaced. Generally I try to build and fabricate new stuff, make repairs needed in the winter months having everything ready to work when it warms up.

Maschio (pronounced Maw-See-Oh) contacted me today to again to see iffin I worked something out with the dealers yet and he also told me the code for the bearing is 6009. I am off now to look and see what that means.

Another thing, I think J Deere tillers are Maschio tillers rebadged, you may find a match there too. I would still rather try finding a generic replacement though.

I believe the JD brand tillers are actually Howard tillers,
and the Frontier are the Maschio...

here's the parts page from JDparts for
some of the frontier tillers:
