Hey guys. I have been reading on this sight for weeks because I ended up getting a b6000 this winter that came with a front end loader and s850 tiller.
This tractor had some issues when I bought it one of which was a bad clutch fork and seized througout bearing. While doing these repairs I naturally decided to change all the fluids as well. Well now I am waiting for my new clutch fork to arrive from Kubota so I thought I would try and tackle the very abused tiller.
They must have been incredibly hard on this thing because they actually broke/cracked several of the tine holders. Some of the tines themselves are broken or missing also. I am basically going to have to try and re-weld all of the tine holders and possibly make new ones for them to work.
My question is where can I get the correct parts for the tiller? I will need new bolts, nuts and tines. Also, am I better off to look for one in better shape than this one? What would an S850 cost in used condition?
I am not even 100% sure I can make this thing usable again. I am guessing they installed the wrong tines and they weren't tight in the holders so it just mangeled them up.
Anybody even have any good ideas for how to fix these? I know the one end is supposed to be hex shaped to hold the nut which would be hard to duplicate. Maybe a different holder design? Hopefully you guys have some ideas for me!
