The rotortiller runs!

Recommended Posts

OK, so it's a small thing, but I had fun today. I had my father keeping an eye out for a rotortiller for my C-175 in TN, since Wheelhorse stuff just doesn't show up here in FL often. So, he came up with a 7-1252 tiller at an auction for $25- said it had a belt, but no center idler. My tractor didn't have the rear lift arm, so I got both a center idler and rear lift from Dave Mann- nice parts, fast service; $155 bucks. Made the run to TN and picked up the tiller (gave Pop's $40), belt was real old.... broke on the first try to set it up- so, Toro for $72- but, today, I got the whole thing going, and tilled up a bunch of ground- and the tractor never slowed down. Cool! :scratchead: The wife just shook her head and went back inside....

The belt is very tight and the idler pulley has to sit far forward to clear the oil drain pipe, without the tension spring.
