NOTE
The dust caps have a molded lip on the ID
which seats into a groove in the bearing hub
allowing for a tight fit.
3. Carefully pry off dust caps from housing
assembly.
4.Pry old seal out of housing assembly and slide
off shaft.
5.Remove any rust or foreign material from shaft
and thoroughly clean to avoid damage or con-
tamination to seal or bearing.
6.Apply a generous amount of oil to shaft and
new seal and carefully slide seal into position.
Make certain the new seal is completely
seated against the shaft bearing.
7.Reassemble dust caps making certain they are
fully seated on the bearing hub.

3-3. Model 310/700 Tiller.
3-3.1 This tiller has forward speed only. There is no
reverse. The chain case has a two step reduc-
tion. The V-belt goes from a small engine pul-
ley to a large input on the chain case. The
chain case is sealed at the factory and there is
no need to check or change the lubricant
unless the chain case has been disassembled
for repair. See Figure 3-17. For a summary of
specifications for Model 310/700, see Table 3-
2.
3-3.2 The most common mistake made on any tiller
is assembling the tines backwards. THE
SHARP EDGE OF THE TINES MUST ENTER
THE SOIL FIRST.
