#2 Tiller refurbish
Just finished refurbishing a # 2 tiller (came with a 109) to mount on my 1450. Hardest part, as all who have one know, was getting the rusted/frozen tine tubes off the output shafts. Here's a few before and after pics. Just hate to get it dirty now!

Did everything but take the gearbox apart on the Model 2 tiiller. The tines looked to have very little wear, there were no signs of leakage of grease at shaft bearings, very little play from input shaft to output shaft.................so I'm assuming (hopefully a correct assumption) that the internals are operational. I have a Model 1 tiller also that was in way worse condition that I tore completely apart. That one looked great internally (sprockets were fine, chains looked new) despite someone cutting a hole in the case to let whatever inside, and the tines were worn down to a point on the end. So I'm thinking these gearboxes are rugged enough to take a beating and survive. The manual says the gearbox requires no periodic maintenance..........we'll see! If I have to get inside the Model 2 later, at least the tines will slide off the output shaft easily!
Here's a before and after of my Model 1 internals: |

Nice work. Can you tell me if the shaft/s the tines are mounted is suppose to have any movement to it besides rotation? I noticed mine move up and down when I was cleaning it and it struck me as odd.

Sounds odd to me also. The bearings should be mounted in their flanges quite tightly. Any movement could be loose mounting bolts (should be obvious), or maybe a worn shaft spinning inside the inner race (dust cup worn out, letting grit into the bearing, seizing the bearing)? In any case, I'd look into the problem and address it before any (or more) damage is done. If never removed before, good luck getting the tine tube off the output shaft. Both of the tillers I've done were a real bear to remove (lots of penetrating oil, soak time and heat, a big puller setup, a lot of banging, finally success)! Once removed, it's certainly worth the time to occasionally remove, clean and re-lube the tube shaft. Also a good time to recheck tightness of all hardware. These units take a beating when in use but do a great job!

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.
