Default 1A tiller question

Hello friends, i have my tiller mounted on my 1450. Works great but when lifted out of the ground, there is not much clearance and it wants to snag or drag. Years ago I saw a post from an old-timer who had a mod for the lift point that provided higher lift and still let it dig deep. I believe it was a cantilever-type design, but am not able to find it. Ring a bell with anyone, or anyone have other ideas? Thanks!

I can make a longer lift pin for you if you'd like.

You need to adjust the depth of till with the threaded "TEE" handle in the pin.
Yours may be rusted up and non operable. Jeff can make you a new one if need be, or you could opt for the longer pin, in either case, the adjusting TEE will need to be operable I believe.

IMPORTANT: Just be sure it's in the correct "stop" detent BEFORE you raise the tiller back up and by ALL MEANS keep your hands and fingers out of the way when you do!

The unit should be about 1-1/2" off the ground when in the raised position.

For further transport, loading etc. I lower the unit to the ground all the way, taking all the slack out of the 3 point thereby loosening the chain to the max, and insert a short 5/16" bolt thru the lowest chain links and add washers and a nut. This will gain you more lift for loading and travel to the next job. I believe this is all covered in the setup manual for the tillers available in the manual section of this forum.

New members should take advantage of this resource and read up on and print the manuals off for their equipment.

Good luck and have fun with your Cub

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
