No lubricant! Once the rust and scale is cleaned off, reassemble and snug the tension springs down equally. The adjustment is determined by trial and error the first time. Obviously, needs to be tight enough to drive the tiller in most soil conditions, but loose enough to slip if you fetch a root or a rock that jams the tines. The next time you take it apart to clean it up, note how many threads are protruding from the adjuster nuts (or how many turns it takes to get them off) and reassemble it to the same depth. That will give you a good starting point. As far as routine maintenance, some folks will advise backing off the adjustment a few turns, blocking the tines and letting the clutch on your tractor out slowly until the clutch on the tiller slips for a few revolutions, then tightening it back down. I suppose this would work if done regularly, but IMHO, you're taking a chance of tearing things up if the clutch has set up on ya.
