Tested the tiller, few bugs to work out..
A few of you know I got my "new to me" tiller home last night. I pressure washed it and mounted it to the 1772.
It has a bent hitch arm that needs to be straightened and I need to move the tiller back /or shorten the PTO shaft. It doesnt track straight behind the tractor and there is no play in the shaft. The cat"0" center link from the Cub is not long enough to reach the tiller, so I had to "red-neck" the cat "1" link that came with the tiller for now. I think I am going to cut the center link hookup flanges off the Cub and widen the brackets to accept the link that came with the tiller.
I took it out to re-till my garden, after tilling for a few minutes, it was leaking a "white oil" form the gearbox. (like the oil has water mixed in it.)
Plans are to change the fluids in it this weekend and maybe get time to adjust the mounts.. Overall, so far, it works great!
Here are some pics of the oil and hitch hook up. Any thoughts?
