Attachment Shopping
 

Just wondering what people's thoughts are on shopping for attachments. Am I correct in thinking it is usually cheaper to buy attachments in the off season? Don't buy a snow blower in the middle of a snow storm because you'll pay through the nose for it? Like wise for summer attachments...buy them in the winter and you might get a better deal? Or am I just nuts? :bash2:

Thats the way it seems with the things i watch for on craigslist and e-bay.
If you have time to wait you can find some pretty good deals in the off season for what ever attachment you are looking for.

I refuse to debate your sanity, but I think you can get better deals on stuff in the off season.

You're right, but I'll bet in July you'll forget all about that (whatever) you should get for that (whatever you need for snow removal), and that's why you're right. From another point of view (my wife's view, bless her) if I buy something I need now, and it comes cheaper later, she says the difference is what it cost to have it when I wanted/needed it. :American Flag 1:

:bigthink: My sanity....NOT THERE! We definatly will not discuss that one! I am just thinking that tiller and plow I am looking for....should be bought now for say what....$250 - $350 for a series 2 tiller and what $75.00 to $150 for a 12" brinley depending on the condition? I just can't see the prices or the availability getting better as the weather warms up? Unless there is guys who have them stored away for winter and are just gone to the sunny south and don't care to think of them now??:Explode:

Looks like I will need some "professional" help on this stuff from you guys!

How do you tell what series of tiller a person is selling from the picture? Is there something specific to look for to tell the difference between a series 1 & 2 tiller? I have found a lot of people who are selling them have no idea what they are and have packed them away in the shed so deep under other crap they can't get at it to look at the tag. Not really sure why people would own that much junk anyway...:biggrin2.gif:

Attachment 2394 Attachment 2395

I am going to take a shot in the dark and say this is a series 1 tiller. Only reason I say that is because it looks small compared to that wheelbarrow? Maybe I am way off here? I will also go as far as to assume the series 2 tiller is a little wider and beefier looking? Not really sure what the difference between the two really are other than the pully size (thickness) and the fact that a series 1 will not fit my 982! Anyone with knowledge can chime in anytime on this....teach the fool from the North something about them!:bash2:

I was also talking to another guy (some old fart, not that it matters), who didn't have a clue how to download a picture and e-mail it to me of what his tiller looked like. Not really sure how he figured out how to post the add and use e-mail, but perhaps he is still learning and I should be nicer?? So I sent him this picture and asked if his looked like it? Attachment 2393

He said his didn't look like that, he said the belt was on the "drivers side" of it. So that would lead me to beleive it is just a mirror image of this one. He said it was MTD build and was pretty sure it was mid to late '80s. Did MTD make a tiller in them years to fit a cub? If so what does it look like and will it do the same thing as a series 2? Will it drive off the right angle gear box the same way (just turn the gearbox itself 180 degrees to drive off the correct side of tiller? Will it fit onto a 982 with a sleeve hitch? :BangPC:

Need some input here if anyone can help me with this?

Correct me if I'm wrong. One way to tell the model one tiller is if its 36 inch or if it has extensions?

Are you still looking for dual brake pedals Mountain there are some on ebay under joes outdoor power

Yes, I am still kicking that idea around Mike....I will have to have a look, thanks for the heads up! Where in Ontario are you? I am in Eastern part...South of Ottawa.

That's one thing I am wondering IH....are both series tillers the same tilling width or are they different? I know if the extensions are on it really throws it outta whack and I wouldn't know if I was coming or going then!

I m south of Ottawa as well A small town by the name of Spencerville just south of Kemptville and north of Prescott, Ihave a 1a tiller but don t have it home yet probably won t have it home for a while
