Model 1 Tiller on 1250
Hey there! Got the tiller mounted up on my 1250 today and I wasn't quite sure what to do with my Mule Drive from the mower. When I had used my 73 I had to take the spring off so the idler pulleys were fixed on both sides. Do I need to do that with my 1250 mule drive. It has the notched adjust on the left side (facing the tractor), and I don't see how'd I would be able to replace that. Also, do I need to take the front of the mule drive off of the arms (not sure what the correct term is) so it is just the QA part with the idler pulleys on it. That's how I did it with my 73 also. I want to get it on and try it out. I'm very excited to have a little extra HP and hydrostatic drive on the tiller this year. The 73 with be pulling the 10" Brinly plow. I'll get pictures of them together and at work. Thanks for any help you can give.

You'll need to remove the rest of the deck subframe so that you just have the mule drive. You can remove the little L-shaped indicator bar and put a 1/4" eyebolt and locknut in its place. You may need a longer bolt for the pulley; I can't remember what I had to use when I did this to my 128.
You might want to try to find another mule drive so you can straighten the pulley brackets to use with the tiller...I don't know if you'll have trouble with the belt jumping off because of the angled pulley brackets for the 44"/50" decks. |

Thanks for the information Matt. I found information on my mule drive under the Model 2 tiller owner's manual. It recommended I get solid steel pulleys if working under extreme conditions. I would not think mine would classify as extreme since the garden will already be plowed and I'm not tilling sod. I guess we'll find out for sure if I wreck a pulley. The manual didn't say anything about having to realign the pulleys, so I'll try it the way it is and see what happens. Thanks again for your help.

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.
