It appears that the tines may have been on backwards when starting the project. If so, that could have been the cause of a bent shaft.

Edit: Okay, maybe not. But I did notice that you did not repack that bearing with grease when you put those two new seals in place. The transmission oil probably does not lubricate that big main bearing for the tine shaft, so you could be putting wear and tear on said bearing, especially if you ever need to till any new ground. I love these Honda tillers. They're monsters that make the ground ready for planting, whether it's for a garden, flowers, trees, sod, whatever. They normally handle new ground very well, but multiple passes will make almost any kind of soil nice and fluffy. After a bit of raking, you can dig your plant holes almost with your bare hands!
Every couple years, they are great for turning over the soil and thoroughly mixing in any compost matter with whatever soil you happen to have in that space. Do bear in mind that if you use them too frequently, you will chase away all the beneficial earthworms. If you're tilling to sod or plant a tree, you might not care because you're only tilling once and you're done. But for a garden that gets replanted every year, you don't want all the earthworms to move to the next zip code.

Excellent observations! I also was puzzled with grease packed on the back of the oil seal. As I was told by the dealer, where I got the oil seals, they explained that the case would have to be separated to remove the bearing. And that once the unit is upright, that bearing is all but submerged in the oil. They explained that to the best of their knowledge, someone had to have tried to fill the oil case with grease at one point. So far, so good, and the unit runs awesome with no leaks 2 years later. I did not know about earthworms leaving from over tilling though. Will grubs do the same?

Felt pads that go on against the outside case before installing the tine assembly?

[@RandomTrades]

Maybe....but what's the purpose of them? (If that is what they are)

Great video! What weight of gear oil did you use in the transmission? I’ve been thru all of the Honda manuals and they don’t make a recommendation.

[@RandomTrades]

Ya I ran into the same issue, ended up finding out if it was an older style, 30 weight was used, and newer was your typical small engine old. I put 30 weight in and it works great!!

[@Stefcio86]

0.95 litre for transmission oil , engine 0.6 litre model Honda F310 or F360

[@magicone9327]

I take it that there was no play in the bearings?

[@RandomTrades]

Correct!

[@Riqrob]

No grease on the bearings.?

[@RandomTrades]

That is correct.

[@justaskin8523]

@@RandomTrades I also made a note of that above. I think grease is critical in that bearing, because transmission oil probably only lubes the gearset and I'll bet the oil never makes it down to that bearing..or is blocked from it. If you have the shop manual for that model, it will probably tell you or show you.
