Looks like I will need some "professional" help on this stuff from you guys!
How do you tell what series of tiller a person is selling from the picture? Is there something specific to look for to tell the difference between a series 1 & 2 tiller? I have found a lot of people who are selling them have no idea what they are and have packed them away in the shed so deep under other crap they can't get at it to look at the tag. Not really sure why people would own that much junk anyway...:biggrin2.gif:

I am going to take a shot in the dark and say this is a series 1 tiller. Only reason I say that is because it looks small compared to that wheelbarrow? Maybe I am way off here? I will also go as far as to assume the series 2 tiller is a little wider and beefier looking? Not really sure what the difference between the two really are other than the pully size (thickness) and the fact that a series 1 will not fit my 982! Anyone with knowledge can chime in anytime on this....teach the fool from the North something about them!
I was also talking to another guy (some old fart, not that it matters), who didn't have a clue how to download a picture and e-mail it to me of what his tiller looked like. Not really sure how he figured out how to post the add and use e-mail, but perhaps he is still learning and I should be nicer?? So I sent him this picture and asked if his looked like it?

He said his didn't look like that, he said the belt was on the "drivers side" of it. So that would lead me to beleive it is just a mirror image of this one. He said it was MTD build and was pretty sure it was mid to late '80s. Did MTD make a tiller in them years to fit a cub? If so what does it look like and will it do the same thing as a series 2? Will it drive off the right angle gear box the same way (just turn the gearbox itself 180 degrees to drive off the correct side of tiller? Will it fit onto a 982 with a sleeve hitch?
Need some input here if anyone can help me with this?
