Confusion on Tiller set up....
I need some help/clarification on some things. I have re-read the thread that Wildbill wrote on attaching a tiller to a 1450 again, and am a little confused? I have bought a tiller finally (hope to have it home next weekend). It is Series 2 tiller that is in mint condition. I need to adapt it to fit onto my stock 982. I have not completed the sleeve hitch on the tractor yet (I still have to make the lower part of it). So as to the length of things, that can be changed.
I read in other threads that the mule drive needs to be changed in order to run a tiller properly (ie belt tension). It was stated before that a mule drive that runs a "C" deck will not work due to the angle of the pullies as well as the fact that only one side has a bolt tensioner? Is this correct? Here is the mule drive that Wildbill used to operate his series 2 tiller on a 1450: tillermuledrive - wildbill.jpg If I am understanding what was stated before....this style of mule drive can't be used? It seems to work fine for Wildbill's application? Here is what I have for a mule drive on my 982 which currently runs a 50C deck with no issues - but will it run a tiller? 982 stock mule drive.jpg If I need to change my mule drive, does anyone have a picture of the one that I need to use? I have never seen one with two adjusting bolts on the pullies to adjust the tension on the drive belt going to the bearbox. If my mule drive will run this tiller I bought....technically all I need to do is find the new pully to mount on the bottom side of the gear box (change to 5/8" width instead of the current 1/2" wide pully) to mate up with the pullies that are currently on my 982? tiller gear box.jpg Next the big thing is to figure out how to mount the tiller to the frame around the gear box so I can get the tiller into the ground more. Then again, I am not too sure how deep it will go now without modifying it? I am thinking its best to drive the tractor up on some blocks, level it up nice, then attach the tiller the way it is set up now and lower it all the way to see how deep it will till? I mean really I am only planting a garden with the deepest thing growing into the ground would be carrots or sweet corn. So 5 to 6 inches of tilling depth is plenty as far as I am concerned. If I want to get deeper than that I can always modify it later - but I don't see any reason to have it tilled any deeper really? As far as getting it loosened up beyond that 5 or 6 inches, that can happen in the fall when it is plowed. This is the tiller I bought....series 2 tiller May 2010.jpg series 2 tiller May 2010 II.jpg Any thoughts or opinions would be great!

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.
