tiller for C-175

[silversolder429 0]

hey guys , listen i have been searching for a tiller for my C-175 for awhile now , and no luck . i live in GA so not much wheel horse stuff here . so my question is what other "belt drive tillers are out there ? what brands ? which will be the easiest fit for my horse ? and what would i need ? this will be until i can find what goes with my C-175 . thank you

[boovuc 1,090]

The only tiller that will fit your C175 are the tillers made to fit the C series, 300, 400 and 500 series Wheelhorse Tractors. Nothing else is going to work without major alterations/modifications unfortunately.

When are you headed North?

Craigslist is your friend. Use the search function. Plan on a road trip. Make it a weekend getaway.

My wife and I have gone from North Carolina to Canada to pick up Wheel Horse stuff. Not a single regret.

I'm sure somewhere in the "region" there are owners of a WH garden tractor tillers that they may not be using.

If you use Craigslist, search areas around your home for "Wheel Horse" or "Wheelhorse" and keep your eyes out. You could also list that you want to buy a tiller but the caveat to that is the seller knows you really want it and it is harder to find a "deal" on one.

A trip North or better yet, northwest will put you in WheelHorse country. Do Craigslist searches of metropolitan areas in Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana or Missouri. Start close and work your way farther out. Also you could place an add on Redsquare here and see if the seller would want to ship it. There are point to point shippers like Fastenal that are very cheap if you are willing to wait a week or two for pickup at a Fastenal location near you. Just putting a few things out there.

I'm with you on the low popularity of wheel horse equipment here in the south. I finally found a tiller on e-bay that could be shipped for a reasonable amount. The mid grader blade I made myself. Sleeve hitch, made that as well. Fabbed up a sprayer. Don't know what I may try next, maybe a pressure washer.

I'm going to guess that living in Georgia you don't have a snowplow so you're probably going to need the rear axle snowplowRototiller bracket. I can't help identify the particular Rototiller you're looking at, sorry.

Sent from my tractor seat.

Here is what we have for the 1980-82 tiller for the C-175

 

1983-85 tiller for C-175

That tiller should fit your tractor, but you will need the rear axle bracket for a tiller/snowplow to attach it to the tractor. You will also need the lift cable setup and the rockshaft parts that go under the seat. I don't know if your tractor has any of those parts installed, but the quoted price is good for a tiller and mid idler. I would have some of the parts to hook that up, but I'm not sure I would have everything. It would depend on what is on your tractor. I live 3 hrs. south of you so its too far away to take a look. I'm leaving the country for a few weeks, but if you still need some help in a couple weeks, send me a message. Just remembered that the lift cable setup would be different depending on which transmission you have in that C-175 (8-speed, Sundstrand auto, or Eaton auto) so that info would make a difference as well.
