Tiller
 

Hey guys just wondering if a JD tiller like this http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/bar/1623720024.html would work on a 127. I can't seem to find IH tillers anywhere nearby.

?? What is the gearbox like....does it work the same as an IH? I think the tractor might revolt though if you tried to put it on the rear. Might not be worth the chance.....might have a fight on your hands.:BB&YS:

Not easily. Just be patient, you'll find what you're looking for eventually.

I'm not sure, I don't know much about the rear tillers in general.

I Don't know much about them either. I have spent the last two days rebuilding mine (1450 #2 tiller) and now I'm trying to figure out how in the heck all the pieces attach to the tractor. Heck I don't even know if I have all the pieces. Just keep an eye out and you'll find what your looking for. Might try advertising on Craig's or watch the classifieds here.

Can anyone tell me the difference between a 1A and #2 tiller?

I put an ad on Craigslist searcing for one, after sorting through the spam of people saying they have new ones they are looking to give away I am left with two options. One a guy said he has a nice one for 425 and then someone said check ebay. There are 3 on Ebay from Keymar MD which is about an hour away, two are #1's and one is a #2. I think the first guy that wrote me must have looked up the prices on ebay. Would either style work on a 127?

A 1, 1a 2a will all work on your 127. Because the rear rands are the same in all the ih cub cadets, all ih cub tillers should fit. You may have to change drive pully sizes on the bottom of the gearbox though. Series 2b tillers used a 5/8 belt as opposed to the 1/2 belt on your 127.

Thanks for the info. I have a couple leads on some tillers, hopefully I can get one soon and try it out.

Well I was all geared up to take a road trip to PA this weekend to pick up a tiller from a Member on here.... (Thanks Again) and was talking with my wife about going last night and she said she had a surprise. I had showed her an ebay listing a few days ago of a tiller to show her what I was looking for so she could see the pictures. Well last night she said she clicked and bought it for me early yesterday. I have to go pick it up Saturday, It's a 1a with both extensions. She paid a hefty price for it so I hope it's in good shape. Talk about a good surprise.

I'll post some pics when I get it.

Since she's in the buying mood can I borrow her to pay for a tiller for me? hehe I'll even let you pay her back for me! Grats on the tiller :WWP: when you get it. Don't forget to download the tiller manual so you got some reading material while you wait on picking it up. You'll need the correct belt for it as well so you can start playing with it right away when you get it. And before I forget Wild Bill made a awesome tiller guide to help you get started as well. You could always waste er day dream about your tiller by checking out videos at youtube you know while your waiting on it and all. hehe I mean that's what I would do if I was waiting on a tiller, but I haven't given it much thought at all.
