[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 136261, member: 13825"] take with a grain of salt but the quality of the tiller and the hardness of your ground might be the issue here the OEM design may have designed it so, the cheaper/weaker things break first(bolts, tiller blades, think of them like a shear pin, designed to b break before more important things break! , and then when you welded them on, you found the next weakest link, the drive shaft < SO< odds are maybe , its just the design of the tiller, and it just won't handle the job you want it too maybe because the ground is too hard or rocky, or could even be(again no bash meant, but the operator going too hard or fast with things, than the tiller was built to handle! IMO< I would suggest contacting the maker of the tiller and asking some honest questions about what it was designed to to be used on as if its just not HD enough for your ground, or even your machine it would be money better spent IMO< buying a better tiller, or like implement, than sinking money into something that will never hold up to what you want to do with it! call this food for thought before investing in a machinist building better parts, only to find the next weak link and repeat the money game and down time! I know in my neck of the woods, ain't no one using any tillers to prep soil or sites, ground just way too rocky and all you do is bend or break tines/blades and have down time and repairs to do, on things! forever sink holes for $$$$ and down time! so no one uses them here any more!, unless doing maybe really small gardens , where they know the soil isn't rocky! so, I'd again suggest asking OEM< what it was made to handle, and or evaluate what your using a tiller for, and seeing if there is a more robust one to get, or a different implement all together that will work better! before hiring any machinist to build you custom parts!
