redidbull 54 #1 Posted March 22, 2012 I have the opportunity to get an old chain driven tiller. I have never seen a tiller hooked to a WH but I am pretty sure it is a belt drive. Do the tillers hook off the front PTO with a large belt or is there something else. I would think I could replace the sprocket with a pulley. Thanks. for any help.

KC9KAS 4,741 #2 Posted March 22, 2012 Yes, they use a long belt and are driven off of the engine (PTO). You will also need some type of idler pulleys mounted below the PTO, and inline with the tiller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jnbbkwsk 0 #3 Posted March 23, 2012 If you have a smaller WH (B series, C series etc.) the tillers are belt driven with a 5/8 v belt. There's a lot more you'll need besides the belt, tiller and tractor to make it work though. For example , (depending on your tiller model and tractor model) you might also need: mid mount pulleys, cable running from lift bar to tiller, axle mounting gear, hitch clevis, helper spring.

redidbull 54 #4 Posted March 23, 2012 I have a 73 No name 12HP auto. I am going to look at this. It is chain driven and mounts to a sleeve hitch. 75 bucks seemed decent if I could make it work. Thanks for the help. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
