Default Tried out my #1 tiller
Well i finally got my drive belt to line up on my 1450 and i was able to get it to run the gear box for my tiller. but there is a catch. i have no Electric PTO. i have a live pulley on the front because i can not afford the $400 clutch. (PO left me with no parts to work with. just a shaft more or less) i used it this was all winter to throw snow making sure to be very careful( i have storys about that, and lessons learned as well) so when my engine is running my tiller is running.

Now for the second catch..... i have no sleeve hitch. that means the tiller rests on the ground.... always. Impossible to do you may say, au contraire. i blocked up the tiller, started the engine, slammed it forward, driving the tiller off the block onto the ground were it pushed me. right as i was comeing up to my "till zone" i go full throttle and start to slow it down to get the tines to dig in.. getting to the end of the row was interesting as well let me tell you.

You don't need the sleeve hitch just the rear lift with gear box and top casting. Got a pic of your set up?

Have you checked the air gap on the pto?

You could probably get a used PTO clutch for $50 or so. No need to buy a $400 new one...

i have no air gap on my PTO because i have no PTO. i have a pulley, bolted onto my output shaft! And my lifting method for putting it away is a ratchet strap.

I had absolutly no need to till my yard.. but not i have a need to plant some grass! or a garden i guess.

It sounds like you are missing the top casting, not the sleeve hitch.

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.
