Model 1 Tiller.... will be working on it
I hope to get outside today to look at my Model 1 Tiller. The tines won't turn, but everything else is turning. Something inside the chain drive housing must have failed. I went to Cub's site and printed out a parts diagram and list.
Does anyone have any experience in this area? Any pointers and/or gotcha's?

I don't really have any experience working n these yet, but I will soon. I have a #1 tiller and a 1A tiller. The 1A is in pieces and getting ready to be reassembled. The biggest problem I see with them, is the fact that the main gasket is NLA. Both of us will have to cut a new one. My biggest question is do you put any kind of lube inside the chain drive or do you basically just lube the chains real good.

I friend of mine had the exact same thing happen. A key sheared inside on the lower sprocket. We tried to disassemble the thing ourselves, but ended up taking it to a machine shop to have the big drive pulley pressed off. A word of advice- when you put it back together, use plenty of Never-Seez on the pulley shaft! Also, I almost positive my friend added filler and drain plugs on the chain housing, so the lube can be changed without taking the thing apart.

Got it taken apart yesterday. Not a fun job. But, it's amazing how heavily-built this tiller is. I found that a couple of shear pins on one of the sprockets had sheared, probably when I hit a rock. It will be awhile before I get this thing put back together. I'll take the time to clean it all up and replace several bearings while I have it apart. Luckily, I have an old Troy-Bilt Horse to use. That's what I used exclusively before I found this 123 with the tiller attached.

Well, it's still in pieces. It's been too danged hot to mess with the tiller, and I still need to get a couple of bearings off of their shafts. Seems that they grew together. Not having much luck getting them off. Once that's done, I'll order the bearings and get started putting the tiller back together. I'd love to see this back together, but it'll be later this fall/winter, I'm sure.
I really miss getting to use it!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I have a #2 tiller with the same symptoms. I was tilling and hit a rock and now all the shafts spin except the one with the tines on it. Are the pins that sheared at the interface between the sprocket and the shaft? I don't see anything indicated there in the parts manual.

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.
