I have had no problems in the past getting parts for many of the Sears products.. What is the model number of the rototiller.

Note: In some cases, a bolt may be better than the normal sheer pin. Use a anti-vibration nut with a nylon end piece.

Depending upon type of tiller, model number may be between back wheels.

Yes I did, and this is what I got http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/getSubComp.pd?modelNumber=785+295021&productCategoryId=1508000&brandId=0247&modelName=NPA-SEARS-3.5-HP-ROTO-SPADER&diagramPageId=00001&documentId=P9120036&pop=flush

I think everyone is missing my point, perhaps I seemed self motivated. I’m just saying that when you take labor(free for my wife,I don’t charge her) and materials into consideration most people will just go buy a new one. The new one of course comes from overseas and if you think it’s hard to find parts now just wait till these imports start breaking down, if you can’t get the part then you buy a new one and the process just keeps repeating, and they’ve got us by the you know what.

threadkiller, I hope you are wrong (about Sears being doomed) but I fear you are right. Ever since Sears got bought by the idiot who bought KMart, he has royally screwed up both of them. Instead of having each “branch” continue to be itself, he has turned most of the good KMarts into those sad “Sears Essentials” stores, lame attempted hybrids of the two names which are as good as neither.

Meanwhile they/he is apparently sending the legendary Sears quality into the gutter. A couple of rentals ago I persuaded my landlady to get a new Sears stackable washer/dryer to replace the one the previous tenants had left infested with mold. After a couple of months the new washer started making a screeching sound during agitation cycle. The repairman came, opened it up, and found that a part which linked the motor shaft to the basket had fractured. He showed me the part– it looked crystalline inside, and he said it looked like it was made out of “pot metal.” However, he said, he had an old replacement one of that part in his truck– when he brought it in, it was a nice sturdy looking stamped part, and he put it in the washer.

He then went onto his handheld to call up the part he’d put in to order a replacement for his truck– guess what– that part # was discontinued. Only the “pot metal” version of the part was carried.

I used to love both the old Sears and the old Big KMarts. Each store did what it did very well. But if they cannot get rid of this idiot, micromanaging CEO they have now pretty quickly, I am afraid he is going to drive both names into the ground and they will go the way of Montgomery Ward. That would be a tragedy.

I just bought a Craftsman rototiller. Thank god it came with extra cotter pins and shear pins. I will have to keep those in a safe place.
