Just bought KK II 60in tiller. Tried to attach pto shaft withv slip clutch to tiller. there is a bolt that i removed with the hope the shaft would slide on. but it would not go all the way on. I have not tried to attach to the tractor yet. any help would be appreciated.

You checked for a piece of post or rock stuck in the tines?

You should be able to turn the PTO shaft by hand. Suggest you disconnect the PTO shaft from the tractor and make sure the problem is the tiller.

The tiller end of the pto shaft has both a slip clutch and a shear pin to protect the gear box and tine shaft drive gear. See attachment.

If you are unable to turn the PTO shaft by hand with it disconnected from the tractor then likely there is something jambed in the tines or internal damage to the gear box or tine shaft gear drive.

Parts diagrams are in the owners manual. Manuals are free download at https://www.kingkutter.com/manuals

lift The brush hog up and place on blocks or other foundation that wont fall over. disconnect the power take off shaft from the tractor. Now look for two round openings in the middle of the deck one on ether side of the gear box (the thing on the brush hog that the pto shaft from the tractor hooks up to to make it spin there might be a slip clutch on the shaft but go to the box in the middle) Now turn the shaft till you see the blade nuts in the hole These could be castle nuts with a small carter pin locking them so they don't unscrew. Remove the pin and with a large socket set unscrew it from the bolt then knock the press fit bolt down and the blade will come off, do the same to the other blade if you need them both off. To put them back on use something under the blade and bolt to hold it up so you can start the nut then reverse the order and put everything back on. The blade bolt might be stubborn to get out just take something that fits through the access hole like a wood doll or long punch and drive the bolt down till it comes out as it is press fit and is jammed up to keep the bolt from turning, when putting it back on you will need to make it tight so the bolt can repress back in. Be Careful when reaching under to set the blade and bolt back in. There is not much you can mess up it is just a big nut and bolt Just make sure you put the blade on the way it came off if you do one blade or one at a time you can look at the other to see which way it goes.

The PTO clutch has a bolt that goes through it and into the vertical shaft of the engine. MANY of the PTO clutches have a large spacing washer that goes on before the PTO clutch is slipped onto the shaft. If the washer was lost when the clutch was changed, the bolt might be bottoming out in the shaft rather than tightening on the threads like it should. I'd get a diagram for your model and make sure all parts are in place.

I'm assuming you're referring to the PTO clutch on the bottom of the engine shaft. There's a 5/8" bolt that goes up through the clutch into the shaft. Remove it, but then turn it back in about 10 turns and use a wheel puller to start getting it off. You might have to c-clamp the PTO/clutch top and bottom together to get both pieces off. Once the assembly starts coming down the shaft, you can probably remove the wheel puller, remove the bolt completely, and pull the PTO/Clutch off by hand. Be sure to unplug the PTO/clutch before removing it. Also, many of these have a spacing washer on top of the PTO/Clutch that comes off in the process. BE SURE to put it back on before replacing the PTO/Clutch. DO NOT hit anything with a hammer to try to break it loose - you'll most likely NOT get the part off and most probably WILL damage necessary parts.

Sounds as if you might have destroyed the gearbox or cooked the internal clutches or both....nothing to do but disassemble the gearbox to find out...you may have a broken gear tooth or teeth jamming the pinion...the FIX may be more expensive than the cost of a new tiller...call Tractor Supply to see if replacement parts are even available...sorry to be the bearer of such bad news... ;-(

go to the second site first, it will explain your "problem.". Your problem is you need to adjust the length of the pto shaft to your particular application. not all pto shafts fit all attachments "out of the chute"
once the shaft is adjusted OR prio to modifying it, view the first video. both or very well presented. i've been there!
Happy tilling!!

At least once a year back the clutch bolts out at least 3 turns and engage PTO at operating speed a couple times.Once thats done turn bolts back in the same amount of turns.By doing this you burnish the disc's and prevent them from rusting/seizing together with the plates.

take cover off flywheel so you can hold it from turning.or use a air compressor on clutch bolt

You likely have a clutch problem, never saw one that a simple adjustment would fix. I'd take off the tiller (there are two bolts that hold the tiller portion to the transmission, and check to make sure the clutch is sliding in and out. My hunch is either the lever is loose on the shaft or the allen-head little bolt that they use to shift the clutch has come out. Be sure to grease the clutch while you're in there.

This should be covered in your owners manual. Shame on them if they didn't mention this.

You have to remove the engine (4 bolts, no big problem), then remove the bolt in the center of the pulleys, then remove the pulleys. Slip the belt(s) (2 if you have the Super Bronco model) onto the pulleys, re-attach the pulleys with the bolt, re-mount the engine, and you're home free.
