(PO left me with no parts to work with. just a shaft more or less) i used it this was all winter to throw snow making sure to be very careful( i have storys about that, and lessons learned as well) so when my engine is running my tiller is running.

Now for the second catch..... i have no sleeve hitch. that means the tiller rests on the ground.... always. Impossible to do you may say, au contraire. i blocked up the tiller, started the engine, slammed it forward, driving the tiller off the block onto the ground were it pushed me. right as i was comeing up to my "till zone" i go full throttle and start to slow it down to get the tines to dig in.. getting to the end of the row was interesting as well let me tell you.
You don't need the sleeve hitch just the rear lift with gear box and top casting. Got a pic of your set up?

Have you checked the air gap on the pto?
