Default Tiller my 129
I bought my first CC, a 129, less than a month ago and have acquired a 109 (blown engine, piston does not move), a 1650 (drive shaft was cut to get it in neutral) and a 1200 disassembled and missing the clutch/drive shaft.

I REALLY want a tiller and 4SPEED has a 2A he is willing to sell me. However, what do I need to get this on my 129? I can steal the hyrdo lift/pump of the 1650 (I assume). My mule drive runs a 44U deck on the 129. I have two other mule drives but I am not sure what deck went with them. I think one mule drive was with a 44A deck that went with the 1650 (took the 50" deck he had instead).

So I know I will need a long belt. What else anyone?

Depends if he has the 5/8 pulley on the gear box you'll have to change that out. You'll need a new long belt and everthing else will bolt right up. Does your 129 have spring assist or hydraulic lift? I perfer hydraulic lift myself.

I have a hydro lift on a 1650 I will move to the 129. Have to take the pump with it, I assume it bolts right up. Looking for a spring assist but they seem pricey compared to buying a 1650 for $300, that might run (haven't had time to work on it) and getting the hydro pump and lift and all the other parts with it! I will have to check my other cubs to see if they have spring assist!

Also, just got off the phone with 4SPEED and he says it is a model 2A that was purchased with his 682 toward the end of IH's production. It is just like his model 1 tiller that he recently restored and thinks they just changed the model numbers for marketing or branding purposes.

Well I am picking up Saturday and hopefully will be tilling by end of day Saturday or Sunday!

Hydro lines from the pump to lift valve are different. Also a couple pieces for the rockshaft are different.

Well the 1650's engine seems locked up. The starter works when I took it off and tested it. The magnetic switch just clicked with the starter on. The drive shaft was removed and I cannot turn the engine by hand. My 1200's engine only rotates about 1/4 turn either way before I hear it hit something. Guess I need to try more before I buy.

So I committed to an 882 today! Nice diesel tractor for cheap and close by! It has hydro on the front and for the deck. I raised and lowered the deck nicely, but no lift on the rear! So knowing I have a 1650 with lift, I wonder if that will bolt on the 882. I can't see it working though because the gas tank appears to be in the way.

I am striking out on tilling this weekend! Need to sell off the 1200 and 1650 and get a lift or something for the 882. Yellow Fever has bitten me and I need to slow down.

Joe

Joe I wouldn't trust a tiller on that Alum. rear end. Isn't the gas tank over the rear end on the 882.

Good score just not sure if it will work or if you'll have to change things up and use a plow, disc set up like DWayne aka DX3 uses.

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.
