Default 127 tiller
Decided to take off the snow blower from the 127 and start hooking up the tiller. This will be my first experience with tilling with this cub cadet so bear with me. I have the gear box attacked, hooked all the arms from the tiller to the gear box without an issue. And yes the mule drive. I did find that the metal rod/bolt coming out of my 3 pt was only intended to be used with sleeve hitch that was on the tractor. So I need to find the needed one or make one. Part number is 485-294-R1. If someone knows where to get one let me know, Cub Cadet says it is no longer available.

That's more than likely what I will end up doing, someone actually made this one as well after I looked at. Someone cut the head off a big bolt and drilled the holes. May just go do the same thing.

Yep you need a different lift pin. Tillers are fun!

Finished up making the new lift pin, works as it should now. Hooked up all the belts and noticed that one of the tensioners on the mule drive was missing... decided to make my own instead of buying one and waiting for it to come in. Photos of the new lift pin to come later.

That style of mule drive is supposed to have a spring on that side, not a tension bolt. There was another style that used two tension bolts, but it is made differently.

Most of the tractors I see with a tiller on have two bolts, probably trying to make sure the belt doesn't slip.

I went back and edited my post.... but I'll just say it again here.

There are two styles of mules that the tiller used. One used two tension bolts, the other used a spring and a tension bolt. The one in this post is made for a spring. You can tell because it has a larger hole, and the smaller one on top of it.

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.
