tim.bergfeld 0 #1 Posted August 5, 2015 I have not hooked up a wheel horse rear axle bracket and a tiller in about oh say 20 years. I have had three wheel horses and tillers and snow plows but they were already set up. So now I need some pics of how to mount the rear axle bracket. Also of how to hook up the tiller. I can't believe no one has made a you tube video yet. The rear axle bracket lever hits the little pulley bracket on the tiller and it won't lock. Sorry so long winded thanks in advance for any help.

slammer302 2,156 #2 Posted August 5, 2015 I don't have any pics right now but I know it can be a pain to get a tiller all hooked up I usually put sum boards under the tiller to raise it up a little and it seems to help Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doc724 925 #3 Posted August 5, 2015 Tim,you have to position the little lever on the right side (when facing the rear of the tractor) to a position that just lets you get the support bar of the tiller into the tachamatic hitch. The position is not "full open" with the lever straight up, more like 45 degrees from vertical. Then, and only then can you slip it into the hitch and finally move the lever down. I think I read this in the WH manual. Suggest you download one from the manuals section on RS. I also keep my tiller on a dolly and like Slammer, I use a 2x4 to raise up the back and slip it under the hitch. Do not despair, first time I put my tiller on it took 90 minutes. Now I can do it in 30! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tim.bergfeld 0 #4 Posted August 5, 2015 Thanks I will take some pics I love this little tractor. But I just have to learn to hook it all up then I am sure it will be a cake walk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tim.bergfeld 0 #5 Posted August 6, 2015 Any idea what year tiller this is no numbers on it. I got it all hooked up except the tensioning spring on the mid mount need to find the manual here so I can find out what oil to use in it. And how to hook this up spring and bolt up pic of them as well. So here it is my 350 dollar rig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jsp_333 280 #7 Posted August 18, 2015 What Tim saidLike everything the more you do it the easier it gets.Except if you use it once a year and then it feels like starting over.I've had the most success with a skid made of plastic.It raised the tiller enough and made it easy to move from left to line up with the quick hitch.The tiller is too hard to move on an asphalt driveway while your hold the quick hitch lever with one hand.That's been my experienceGood to hear you got it working Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tim.bergfeld 0 #8 Posted September 3, 2015 I bought a furniture dolly to keep mine on 15 buck at harbor freight. The four casters make it easy as pie down to 15 to 20 minutes now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 994 #9 Posted September 8, 2015 I use a scissor jack under the tiller bar, the one that goes into the bracket and it makes it very easy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
