HyperPete 914 #1 Posted Sunday at 09:41 PM I finally started installing the tiller on my 414. I downloaded the manual(s), and physically attached it to the rear mount. I do not have the lift cable & clevis, shown in the picture on the right. It looks as if it has an adjuster built in, like a motorcycle throttle cable. I have some jacketed stainless steel wire; do you think I can get away with that and a turnbuckle on back so I can get tilling? Does anyone in the York, PA area have one they can sell me? Does anyone know the length of the cable so I can have one made? Many thanks, in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ineedanother 2,152 #3 Posted Sunday at 11:36 PM Hey Pete, I hope you're doing well. Lowell should be able to help you out with that. Those cables get a lot of stress but his cables and parts hold up pretty well. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product-category/cables/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HyperPete 914 #4 Posted Sunday at 11:38 PM (edited) Awesome, thanks - I need to till next week if possible! Edited Sunday at 11:38 PM by HyperPete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HyperPete 914 #5 Posted 4 hours ago (edited) Well, I got a reply from Lowell on Sunday; crickets since then. I made a temporary cable but it's way too light duty. It works with the spring adjuster cranked to max, but it won't last. I'll go buy heavier cable and backyard engineer something since time is important. I guess I'll need some shackles and clevis pins. I don't know where to connect a spring on the front pulley (below the PTO) or what size spring. The tiller owners manual is no help. The parts manual is barely helpful. Belt routing is also mysterious to me - it looks as if it will hit the floorboard. Got the AGs & wheel weights mounted. I need to paint the presently bare steel panels I put back on temporarily. Lots of cleaning and painting are planned for this.

ineedanother 2,152 #6 Posted 3 hours ago Hey Pete, this isn't a great picture but the spring on the "lever" for the idler pulley should run to a bolt that you need to put in the second hole in the frame. It will need to be a 3" or so bolt to serve as an anchor for the spring. The belts make a long run under the footrest to the tiller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
