Tiller gear box. How much and where?

[amccune]

So. Still haven't even unloaded my 122 from the truck and I'm getting in deep.

Already bought a three point sleeve hitch this morning for $100...and so it begins.

Found a 1A tiller (with tine extensions) and the long belt...but it didn't look like there was any gearbox with it. How hard are those to find? I saw one recently went for $80 on flea-bay. Is that what I can expect? Any other place I should start looking?

amccune,
Great that you picking up some good cubs items already! I think your in the ball park for price fror the used gear box. I really didnt shop much but paid just a little more than that for one along with a good mounting bracket and spare bonus gear case.
Yea your getting in deep
Regards,
Chris

You'll need both the angle drive gearbox and the mount

I would also suggest find a spring assist since the tiller is a bit heavy.
Left side is the IH spring assist for narrow frames. Right side is the Brinly spring assist for narrow frames.

Manual transmission NF can use both ( I have both on my 122 ) while only the IH can be used on hydro models due to lack of space in between the hydro unit and the outer fender upright.

Awesome. Thanks for the pic. You guys are always on top of it.

So, by the mount, you mean the part that hooks directly to the sleeve hitch? As in, the mount on the gear box? Didn't realize it could come without it.

So, for the right price, the tiller is definitely worth it then. The guy is literally a few miles from me and said he didn't want to sell anything until spring, but promised me the tiller.

He has a ton of tractors, so I'm going to see what else he might have lurking. I almost bought a Massey Ferguson 12 horse from him a few months ago.

At any rate, I've got a friend coming over tomorrow, and our task is to (finally) unload the tractor. After that, I'm going to make the beast run again.

...........

The mount is what the gearbox is bolted to. It is secured with five bolts thru the rear cover into the rear end. ( use longer ones that the ones you take out )

This is the back of the mount ( upside down ). Notice the five holes in a "U" pattern. That secures the mount to the tractor.

from me just going thru all that stuff, looking for all the needed parts.
hoarders dont sell there parts, and most of the ones that do sell , think there worth GOLD price.

and always remember. once you buy a part , quit looking .... your find it cheaper somewhere else in a day or two.

Or buy the second cheaper, sell it and lower the cost of the first one.
