Tiller depth limiting chain

[IthacaJeff 151]

WH'ers;

Some of you have been interested in seeing the lift cable set up for a tiller without

using the under-seat rockshaft. It is difficult to get the exact right length, but it can

work. On my 310-8 I also set up a limiting chain to limit the depth of the tiller. 310s

do not have a lock out on the manual lift lever, so it it either up or down, no stops.

In the pics below the lift cable is attached to a chain then attached to the tiller.

Another chain connects from a hole in the seat support to the same attachment

point on the tiller. This serves as a depth limiter. I really did not want to limit the

depth, but the 310 bogged down in my packed clay if I went too deep. The

helper spring should be attached lower as per the manual, but the spring I bought

was not the right size for a proper attachment.
