One thing I had found very handy is to lock those "latches" in place on the rear of the tractor when you mount the tiller. That will keep them from opening up while you are tilling. I found that when tiling uneven ground, the latches can open and leave the tiller kind of dragging caddywampus behind the tractor...... I think I had to drill some holes in my latches to match up with holes in the adjacent bracket, then used pins and clips to lock them in place. (I think the newer tractors had those already??? Mine's a 1974 model year) On edit: Mine has alift assist spring.... Yours has that, right??? Mine has all 4 holes - I need to head to my local Tractor Supply store to get pins for them. It also has the lift assist spring which I have cranked down all the way for now. I'll see if it kicks up when tilling and adjust as needed. I got the loop welded. Even grinding couldn't make me the welder I ain't! 🤪 Now I need to wait for the correct spring to arrive because the temporary one I was using is far too short!

HyperPete 922 #27 Posted 1 hour ago My Wheel Horse Parts and More order arrived on Saturday. Stellar shipping and nice quality parts! I cleaned things up a bit, painted a few parts, and got it mostly assembled today. Tomorrow I will put the back fenders and seat back on, and, weather permitting, get tilling! Then apart again to paint the parts I sandblasted last autumn. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
