You should definately get it if you want to use it. I have a tiller on my 149 and it works great. I have a 2800 sq/ft back yard garden that I feed my family with and I couldn't do it without this machine.
I got it about two years ago and the first time out it broke a chain. I tore it down and completely rebuilt it and it's been a work horse ever since. I got the replacement chain from TSC and new bearings from an internet bearing distributor. There is a big gasket that goes around the entire drive housing, you can just make one with gasket material from Grainger.
Make sure you take lots of pictures of the entire dissasembly process so you have reference for re-assembly.
PM me if you have any questions and good luck, spring is just around the corner!

Looks like we are into re-build the tiller season.

Going Sunday after church to fetch this #2 tiller, I'm told it turns but is loose and needs bearings. Mule drive, box and tiller included. 100 mile round trip to the next county. Pics late Sunday!

Would you mind posting the part # belt you bought?

Can someone tell me what model this tiller is? Also will it fit on my 1450.

Looks like a #2. If it is I have a #2 behind my 1450. Do you have a 3 point hitch? You'll need one to use a tiller.

Nope I guess I will need to get one. I thought I saw a vender on this site that was selling them but I can't seem to find them now.
Thank you for the quick reply.

You may be thinking of a "Sleeve Hitch Adapter" a three point hitch is what a Sleeve Hitch Adapter hooks to. A tiller fastens to a three point hitch without a Sleeve Hitch Adapter.

This might answer some questions for you, if you already knew these things, disregard this post.

I thought the tiller mounted to the 90 degree pulley and the pulley mounted to the rear end. Then you would lift it with the pin in the hitch? My cub has a hitch in the back.

If you have a NF, these are the pieces you need ( WF rear lift similar )

Starting on the left, you have the rear lift, the tiller gear box mount and the tiller itself.
