Default Tiller

Scored a tiller and gearbox on eBay for $102.50! Went and picked it up last night, all seems ok. Got to looking at the gearbox this morning and it seems the vertical shaft is bent. I'm gonna look into it more as time permits. And I need to make the stuff to adapt it to my 3 point. New pulleys and a mule drive for putting it on my 1812.

Nice, I just picked one up from a buddy. Trying to make heads or tails of what I need to make it work with my 1650.

I see what looks like a bend in your picture also'
It must have been dropped or something.
The main shaft is 1-1/4 diameter, would take a hell of a drop to bend that!
I just got mine back together last night after a rebuild. not fun OR cheap!!
Possibly one of the tubes is bent, but they are 1/4 inch wall tubes, tough stuff.
Does everything turn freely??

Fins, I'm not sure if it's bent or not. Everything turns freely. I think the shroud is bent. There's some questionable "repairs" done to that. If it spins, it goes in the dirt. Not pretty at all, but the intention was to make a worker! Did get into the gearbox, the vertical shaft is bent. I have it over at my buddies machine shop, he's gonna make me a new one.

MI, I'm currently in your shoes. I've seen pics, of guys that have done it on here. But can't seem to get my dimensions. Guess I just need to mount it up and start guessing!

It's pretty easy. I built my own adapter for an 1811 before I ever knew they made one.

It appears to be pretty straightforward. Wish I had a better way of cutting plate steel. I'm luckier than most, I have a torch but it's too hard to get a nice cut.

Practice. You can cut almost as good as a plasma cutter with an acetylene torch if you set it right and your steady.

Just have a welding shop burn one out for you. No waste.

I agree.

Question for you, since you made one. The piece that bolts to the tractor, did you use 1/4" or 3/8 plate? I was thinking using 3/8".

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.
