Road trip !!!
 

well after 4 hours and over 220 miles I have myself a model 2B tiller! its in pretty decent shape, I just need to get a mule drive for the 1250. I am confused a little, everything I've read on here is that I need the lower hoop of the three point to mount the tiller to, but it looks like this is self contained? if anyone can shine a little light on this it would be appreciated.

the gearbox acts as the lower mount.

The tiller mounting frame does have holes to attach the lower tiller arms to, however it is recommended that the 3 point lower "U" bracket also be used and the pins should go through all 3 holes on each side.

FWIW, 2 of mine have the lower "U" bracket and the other one does not. I don't notice any difference but I'm sure the ones with the bracket are more stable and sturdy.

Thanks for the feedback. It's much appreciated!

Make sure you get the yellow U bracket and use it. The tiller bounces around enough while working you want to make sure you don't go bending anything by not utilizing it. Tiller gear boxes are a PITA to bend back if you ever are ever unfortunate to bend it. Don't ask me how I know.....
