    Howard Rotavator

    Update: Was able to connect to tractor (45 hp) and try it out. Outcome with rotavator-very good. Turned like a champ and all seals gaskets were leak proof. Tractor might be a little weak for this size rotavator. Need to purchase a new pto shaft however but that's another thread. Thanks to...

    PTO sizing

    I needed to cut a pto shaft in order to fit an old implement I repaired to a tractor. Measured distance and figured how much I needed to cut off of round outer tube of pto shaft and then was going to cut the same amount off of solid square shaft attached to tractor end yoke. When I cut the...

    Update: Was able to install speedi-sleeve and continue work on unit. Everything is loose and spins were very and with ease. Have put everything back together and install a slip clutch that I previously had. Now I'm needing to shorten pto shaft for implement and tractor and of course ran into...

    Was not aware of speedi-sleeves--I will look into it. Really appreciate this--made my day.

    pdate: Was able to take off yoke and remove input shaft. The lobe on the shaft where the oil seal rides is pitted pretty bad. Since a replacement seems not likely, I am planning on going to a machine shop and see if they could cut it down to a smooth surface and get a seal with a smaller...

    Certainly food for thought. I've read where cotton spindle grease works well in a gearbox. The seal is completely gone but maybe using some silicone around the yoke might slow down the leakage. Going to sleep on this--thanks for giving me something to consider. At lease this way I get some...

    There was a castle nut which it seems held the yoke in place. I am planning on doing what you suggested. It appears that there is an oil seal that surrounds the yoke so any pitting would really make the yoke unusable. Once I can remove the yoke I will "attempt" to find a suitable...

    I need to remove the yoke attached to the gearbox. The main seal is bad and needs to be replaced. The seal goes around the yoke and into plate behind yoke. Any suggestions on how to remove the yoke? I've attached pics. Thanks,

    Just an update. Had to remove side gear cover (couldn't get oil fill plug out and didn't want to drill). Special nut that holds middle gear was tough. All gears in side box look just like new. Haven't been able to see if shaft with tines turn free(believe there is work to be done there) or...

    I will work (as soon as weather allows) on getting it loosen up by putting diesel in the side gearbox and greasing the bearings. Appreciate the feedback.

    I've put it on blocks and tried turning a bit but the weather is not cooperating at this time. I will fill the side gearbox with diesel in order to lubricate with something light and clean out old gunk(I hope it will). I feel that one or more of the bearings are frozen so with the diesel and...

    Did try turning the pto with a pipe wrench in the field. Haven't tried since getting it home. Don't think it has a quick change gear box. Live in south Louisiana so hard freezing is usually not an issue. Will try putting diesel in the drop gear box in order to loosen old gear oil then refill...

    Howard Rotovator Tiller

    Just started a new thread(didn't see yours) about just purchasing a P 70. Picked it up at a used tractor/equipment place. It looks rough in that it is rusty(not bad-no holes). We tried turning it with a pipe wrench but was not able to. Will soon try flushing gearbox housing on the side and...

    Howard Rotavator

    Just purchased a Howard Rotavator P 70. Looks like everything is there and will try to get it going. Don't know anything about this product so any help/advise will be appreciated. Right now it appears that it is "stuck" so I will try cleaning out gearboxes and refilling with gearoil. Just...
