#1 Tiller on a 782
 

My question is there a different size pulley available to work on the tiller gearbox to run the 5/8 belt that the 782 uses? Also do I need to change the diameter of the pulley for use on the 782 since the motor is much bigger than the 1200 Cub cadet that the tiller came from? Any help would be great if anyone has done such a change to make the tiller work on the newer machines. The current pulley is 5" OD diameter with a 3/4 ID and for use with the 1/2" belt.

You'll need a 5/8" pulley of the same type and diameter for the gearbox. You'll also need 5/8" pulleys on the mule drive.

The mule drive is not the problem. The problem is a source of pulley that has the offset like the orignal. Has anybody ever changed this pulley? If so should I stay with the same diameter of pulley to keep tiller speed the same even though motor is much larger?
