Rear tine tiller for 982??
Okay so here comes the dumb question from the Canuck! Can I put a rear tine tiller on my 982? If so, what type of right angle gear box do I need for it if it is even possible. I have tried looking for some info on this, I guess I have too much ice and snow stuck between my ears? Anyone have a link to where I can find the info if there is any out there. I haven't bought a rear tiller yet because I don't even know what I am looking for or if it will even work. Need a little direction :Explode:

Mountain: Options for the IH 982 were a rear PTO drive with electric clutch and a 3-pt lift. With both you can install an H-48 shaft drive tiller. I have one so equipped in my collection. One helluva tiller I can tell you...

Man I feel dumb asking these questions....I should be able to find this on the net...DUH!! You have any pictures of that set up??? |

Mountain... I suppose you could mount a 90* gear box on a 982. You would want to find an IH 2B tiller (uses the same 5/8' belt used by your front PTO pulley). You would have to find an extra long belt though. The image at the bottom shows the 982 rear PTO & 3-pt lift

Okay.....so here is the next question. If I find a right angle gear box, mount it on a frame and bolt it to the rear of the tractor. How do I find out the size of the input and output pullies? I need to have it pretty close to the right speed on the output side for the tiller. I say this because I can't make the tiller pulley any larger due to the sheilding over it and then likely have a hell of a time finding a pully to fit the tiller. I am thinking out loud here...what about using a right angle gear box off a grain auger? Make up a plat form for it to bolt to and run the input shaft through the bottom of the mounting plate and then have it run off to the right side of the tractor like others do. Am I correct in thinking the output pully will run counter clock wise? If so is that the correct direction for an IH tiller? I haven't seen one in person so I don't know if the direction is going right once you get to the tiller tines?? Definately don't need it running backwards!! Attachment 2000 Now just a thing to throw out there....is it possible to cross the drive belt from the drive pulley at front of engine to drive the gearbox in the opposite direction if needed? If so what effect does this have on the wear and tear of a belt when it is crossed?

The tiller tines need to rotate the same direction as the tractor wheels do when the tractor is moving forward. That way, the tiller doesn't throw all the dirt forward underneath the tractor.
Your best bet is still probably to get a 2B and adapt it to the 982...I have seen it done. Either that, or get a tiller with it's own engine and connect it to the 3-point. |
Very much agree with you on the rotation of the tines Matt, but I need your help. If I run a belt off the front drive pulley (which I would say is running in a clockwise rotation, standing behind tractor), then run it to the gear box, will the output shaft not run in the opposite direction??? :bash2:

If you are going to use a right angle gearbox, just turn it such that the output is going the right direction. On the OEM tiller, the pulley is on the right and turns the correct direction. If it was facing the left side, it'd be turning backwards. If you point it straight back, it'll be turning CCW from the rear. I'm not sure what you're doing after the gearbox, so...:BlahBlah:
