mattd860 161 #1 Posted May 1, 2016 Who uses my hydrostatic foot pedal kit with the tiller attachment? Does the pedal interfere with the belt or midmount pulley? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 4,984 #2 Posted May 1, 2016 I tilled with your kit last year with one of my 520's. Worked great. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dale520H 4 #3 Posted May 1, 2016 Cleat...are those holes in the drive belt cover to help ventilate the rear cylinder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 4,984 #4 Posted May 1, 2016 They are. I don't know if they make a real difference but it makes me feel better. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dale520H 4 #5 Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) I understand completely I'll probably do that too... Edited May 1, 2016 by Dale520H 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmsgaffer 2,043 #6 Posted May 6, 2016 I had to adjust a few spacers on the tiller idler pulleys (i think I had to put more on behind the pulleys to space it out more, it was a while ago) to get it to fit past the pedal but it actually lined up the idler pulleys better with the PTO pulley so I couldn't complain. Two things I have had issues with are the snowblade angle arm (but I have a fix planned i think) and then any mower deck that has the three-bar leveler that came with the vacuum bagger system, you cant raise the deck or the under-pedal "ear" hits that third bar. I dont have a bagger though, so I just need to get a new "two-bar" leveler for the deck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,774 #7 Posted May 6, 2016 Let you know Matt if I ever get time to install it ....or put the tiller on for that matter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ba2988 27 #8 Posted May 7, 2016 I have Matt's kit installed on my 520H and did some tilling about a month or so ago. I did find that there was some slight interference but only when pushing the pedal to go into reverse and all the way down. This wasn't a big deal for me because when I'm tilling I'm not going in reverse often, and when I do I turn off the pto so it really wasn't an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HokieAg07 129 #9 Posted May 14, 2016 Only when pushing the pedal to go into reverse, which like the above poster mentioned, is not a huge deal as I generally disengage the tiller when reversing. Im sure a few adjustments of pedal position with the heim joints and rods, along with adjustment of mid idlers would solve the issue. I use the tiller only a few times a year, not worth the time to even worry about it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
