Default My fab tiller (give advice)
I have a walk behind tiller, with a burned out motor, so here's my plan. I've got the tiller itself, guard and all taken off of the rest of it. The pulley on the side of the tiller that used to attatch it to the motor is still intact and working. I'm going to fabricate a hitch that will fit my sleeve hitch, and find a drive belt that is the proper length to run off of the front pto on my 100. It seems to me that it will work. Will it?

I think it'd be simpler to just buy the correct tiller for your 100.

I agree that it'd be easier, but I'd rather spend less money, and use what I have. Plus I think it'd be a neat project!

Hey Stitch,

Sounds like it will work, I'm sure a little trial and error and you will have it figured out. :biggrin2.gif:

You will have to find a way to keep the belt in tension when raising and lowering the tiller. That will probably be the hardest part.

If I can rig it up so I can run a drive belt from my front pto straight to the pulley on the tiller, will it be safe to assume the speed will be ok to run it?

Well, that depends on the size of the pulley you use on the tiller and what the gear ratio in the tiller is like....without that, who knows?

That's a lot of thinking. I think I'm just going to do it and hope it works. If not, I'll throw it back in the pasture. No harm, no fowl.

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.
