Today I got everything on and gave it a test run, Didn't notice until I was done that I had a flat tire ha ha. I spent a few hours this morning getting everything on. The Belt from the dealer fit, I had to make a tensioner and rig up the lift chains. Lets see if the vides work

Magnum,

Looking good! I'm glad you got your tiller installed and operational.

Thanks, it took a while to get it all on but well worth it. My ground has a ton of rocks in it, spent a while yesterday and today raking rocks out.

Looks good. Sure beats walking behind one of those hand held rock jumpers!

Oh Yes. My plan is to tow my setup to my Parents house down in MD and till their garden when it dries out.



The only one thing I had to come up with was the lift/depth control. My lift pin has the hole the wrong way and my till did not come with the lift bolt and T handle. I used a stainless clevis and a quick link and hooked that to the lift chains. I guess it works for now though

Looks like FUN! So much for a little flat keeping you for doing some work. Did you plow before hand or was that the frist pass with the tiller? Looks like it did a great job for you. Wish I had one

Mine was missing the depth control handle also. I just welded a 1/2" hut to the end of a 1" steel pipe, then made a top on a brake, and welded it on.
The only issue I have is I replaced the rotted spring on the belt tensioner, and it's not strong enough....and the belt tension just disappears pretty quickly, so I'm always reaching back to tighten it....I'll fix that this year. I need to see a working unit that is correct and see what I did wrong.
I'm thinking of grinding in some teeth on the bottom of the handle so it tightens easily, but doesn't want to reverse without pulling the handle up. Anyone have suggestions?

I ran a plow through it, I didn't get very deep with the plow. When tilling I made two passes on each row, right to left across screen was a first pass and left to right was the second.

Yeah I kept wondering why the right side of the tiller was sinking so much better, on the second pass it leveled out just fine.

I'll try to take some close ups of the belt tensioner tonight or tomorrow and put them on here for you. I think mine is all original there. I had to hit it with some pb blaster then smack it with a hammer to break it free, after that it worked great.

Someone else said on here to keep the main long belt nice and tight and leave the shorter one a little looser in case of rocks or roots so the big expensive belt does not get damaged. Well I wound up just putting a cheap belt from autozone on the tiller pully as another way to make sure if something goes it's not the $80 belt.

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.
