1A tiller fix up
Did a little work on that 1A tiller I picked up last week. I know the chains are just supposed to be run in grease but the only way I can find to lube them is to take the whole thing apart. Well that's not gonna happen so I drilled and tapped a 1/8" pipe thread into the case at the top near the input shaft and pumped about 1/2 gal of 80/90 gear oil that I had laying around into the case. It now turns nice and free. So far it's not leaking but I honestly don't care if it does. I'll just put more oil in it. No pics at the moment it's hanging from my engine hoist with a bucket under it incase it leaks. Gotta check out the right angle gear box next. Then the 149 and see if the whole mess works. If it seems OK then I need to find some tines for it, my tines are pretty well spent and factory stuff shows as NLA. Guess Cub figures you'll just buy a new tractor and tiller yep that's not going to happen with this boy.

Sam, I just bought a 1A for my 129. What I need to figure out yet is which PTO belt to purchase. I have seen what seems to me to be conflicting information. I don't want to spend $85 from Cub Cadet for that belt. Are there any good options? As for the tines, I haven't compared carefully (My tiller is in shipment and hasn't arrived yet), but I think the Troybilt Horse tines are the same as the Cub Cadet tines. If they aren't the same, I think they could possibly be made to work with little modification.

I don't know much about these things yet. I'm new to Cub tillers. Kind of a learning experience.

Sam, I told you I'd do some digging on that, and I haven't had a chance. Sorry bud. I need to go pull a tine and get the measurements of the bolt spacing and overall height of the tine. I can't believe for the amount of tines that are still in production that there is absolutely no cross from the cub cadet part number, nor anyone out there who has replaced them and knows what fits. Maybe someone on here will come along who's done it and save us both some time!!

As soon as mine arrives via Fastenal, I am gonna check into that as well. I'm with Jonathan. There has to be something out there. I can physically check the Cub Cadet tines with the neighbor's Troy tines. There may be some other options as well.

I'm thinking something more like "OO" grease would be the ticket. Snapper used that in their rear engine rider chain case and differential case. It is a thin grease that flows like a thick oil yet doesn't leak out so readily. I think that's what's going in mine. Auto Parts should be able to get it for you or Rotary and Stens sell it. If nothing else, JD corn head grease is "OO" grease and is available from the green tractor place (don't shoot me).

I drilled a hole in my gear case this spring when i had it apart as well. I put grease and 80-90 in mine. I cant believe IH didn't put a lube hole somewhere on the case. IH must have known what they were doing because mine is a #1 and it was never split until I split it this spring. Both the spirol pins in the drive sprocket sheared off.
I have been trying to find reasonably priced replacement tines and from pictures troy built horse tines look extremely similar to the IH tines. I haven't ordered any yet because I am trying to find some around here to measure. If I find some and they have a similar shape and the same hole spacing I will let you guys know.

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.
