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?

I may be way off, but I'm thinking that the point were the lower two links are connected look wrong. I'm thinking the tiller should be closer to the tractor. It look like there is extensions on the lower mounts that need to be removed. And by doing so would move your third like much closer to the tractor also.
Loving the 1772, wish I had one let alone one that nice!
