Mounting a tiller on a 127
Hey guys. I hate to ask dumb questions but here goes. I have a narrow frame 127 cub and last year the guy who I "previously" took it to for repairs
(another story in itself) told me he had a tiller and a gearbox that would fit my tractor for 150 dollars. I bought it thinking I could figure it out later. The problem is that my cub doesn't have a 3 point hitch mounted to it and the manuals I have seen (although I'm not sure if it's a 1, 1A or what) all say that a 3 point hitch is required. Is that necessarily true? What I mean is can I mount the gearbox and tiller and just sort of slowly drag the tiller without the PTO being engaged to where I want to till or is the 3 point mandatory for mounting? I hope I explained this right. Thanks.

I have to agree with Roland on this. I have worked on a LOT of equipment, but these Cub Cadets are new to me, and I still have a ways to go.

Goat...IH didnt say you are required to have a 3-pt lift for the tiller when you don't. Installing a 3-pt lift is relatively easy..first ya gotta find and buy one though....You would find that in trying use the tiller without a 3-pt lift that the weight of the tiller would tear up the tiller mounts when trying to drag it and especially at the row end when you have to turn it around to make the next pass when trying to till a garden....Not a recommended course of action.
A 3-pt lift is useful for more implements than the tiller, so the investment in one will pay off in the long run. That's the recommended course of action. Myron B

Thank you guys for the replies and the encouragement. I'll keep my eyes open for a 3 point. I'd hate to tear the thing up just to save a few bucks.

I have a 127 with a tiller mounted, the way I have it set only lifts it about an inch or two off the ground, but that is all I need to make my turns.
I'd say get the lift or try to make something, but getting the proper 3 point would be best IMO

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.
