Service & Maintenance Question posted July 10, 2016 by Darrell CrawQuestion:Bought a used Husqvarna FT900 last year. I believe it is only 1 year older - possibly 2013 or 14. The machine actually has 3 different fill tubes. There is a yellow in the front which I know is for oil. But there is also a white one above it and another yellow in the back. I can find nothing about these other 2 fill tubes. All the manuals (didn't get one when I got the machine) on line say that the transmission is sealed - but the white one sure looks like it should be for the transmission. I can see fluid in it. Have no idea what the yellow one in the back is for. Help?- Service & Maintenance Question posted June 7, 2013 by Ken TheisQuestion:Brand new DRT900H tiller. Put it together runs great on idle or moving it to the Garden. I can engage the tines in the air and still runs good. As soon as I drop it in the groud,under load the engine surges constantly and consistantly. No change in the RPMs as it hits harder or softer soil. The machine bounces forward and back. This can't be normal? Somewhat hard to handle when tilling. Locale dealer is working on it and can't seem to figure it out. Replaced Carborator, he feels that it is not normal but is it a characteristic of the tines or this machine? Anybody have the same problem?Details:
Anybody having this same issue, is it normal. any fix for it? I don't think its normal for an $800 machine to run in this way. My old $150 POS MTD lawnmower works better under load. I would think a really nice Honda motor would do better. Any help or directions on this. Thanks.

- Service & Maintenance Question posted November 11, 2012 by Bill PartnerQuestion:Fuel switch location? I just purchased the. DRT900H tiller. It was a return and fully serviced before I purchased it. But I cannot get it to start. The manual I downloaded from the Husqvarna site is for a 2009-2012 models. I have the 2012. The start up directions say to Push fuel valve to “ON” position and Turn engine switch to “ON” position. I cannot locate either of these switches on the tiller or in diagram provided in the manual. I know it seems like a silly question but can someone tell me where these are? I can start the tiller If I pour gas in carburetor but it only runs for a second. I am guessing if there us a fuel switch it is set to off. Any help would be appreciated

I have a DRT900H tiller. The handle assembly broke at the weld and I'm replacing it. All went well except for the rubber grips. I twisted, pulled and even heated them but they didn't budge. How do I remove them and put the grips on the new handle assembly?
- Service & Maintenance Question posted June 5, 2014 by Gordon HandfordQuestion:Husqvarna CRT52 rototiller: how much packing grease should you put into the transmission when repairing it?Details:
I had a broken drive chain to the wheels, opened the transmission (after moving Heaven and Earth to remove the wheel) and found only about one tube of packing grease (mostly settled in the bottom and clearly old and not very effective). After I replaced the chain, I repacked with three tubes, also coating the shift mechanism (space perhaps 2/3 full of grease). After reassembling I drove it 100 feet to pump the tires (all settings working except reverse). When I went to restart it, there was no power delivery to the wheels or tines, and when I released the transmission lever there was a temporary, unpleasant, grinding sound. This happened every time I released the lever to disengage the transmission. I'm sure I have broken the input pinion and/or other gears. How much grease should it have in the transmission after I take it apart and assess the damage and replace the parts?

Love the tiller but shifting gears is very hard. You have to jam it in rarther than a smooth shift.
