Not to beat a dead horse, but my new 1811 had a the old 1250 tiller setup installed on it 20 years ago with the lower plate attached to the AL transaxle.
Long story short, its not a good setup. It might be OK to run this setup on the AL tranny in good soil but add rocks, stumps and any other inclusions and you will end up with stripped out bolts.
I sold the tiller and fixed the rear end up then installed the cub hitch plate that bolts to the frame. Now I can pull my trac vac (tongue weight 150 when full) without an issue..
Imagine my surprise when I look behind me and see the trac vac with the old bolt on hitch (and bolts) on the ground..
