the brass bushing has two notches that go inwards , so when they are all the way in to hold the gears in place the oil can get into the bushing and lub the shaft
Thanks Thomas, It does seem so easy until you try it but it nice when you finally get past that step and move on to the next one. I am looking forward to putting this tiller to work in my garden this spring. Thanks for watching.
Only the left side because you install the shaft through the right side with the woodruff key in the shaft. The R/S bushing would interfere with that process.

I’ve found that heating a case with a heat gun for a few minutes helps a lot when installing bushings and bearing races.
I should have kept watching, my question was answered when I saw there is not enough room to insert the shaft key if the bushings are installed first.
I should have read further down the comments before answering your question...😂

How do you get the wheel off a Troy built tiller
Putting those bushings in the freezer for a few hours might help before install...
I got my parts from super x power .com
Nice selection, decent prices and very good to work with if you have a problem with the order
Why not use petroleum jelly on the key to help hold it in place?
What model is it for buying parts
Could the axle bushings be drove in first, then slide the shaft through?

You are right but I didn't think of that. Where were you when I needed you.LOL
thanks for the lesson .i missed your reason for the complete rebuild ? saw nothing beroken.
Leaking oil...
It seems like you could use a little Loctite to hold the key on so it doesn’t fall out like that.
