Daron1965 644 #1 Posted March 15, 2019 Hello all. I've decided to try and find a tiller for my 312 8. I know there are a few different models and mounts. Can someone please tell me what mount and model of the tiller I need? Even pictures would be helpful, because a few I have seen do not have any model numbers on them. Thank you, Daron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clueless 2,893 #2 Posted March 15, 2019 Pretty much any of the WH 36" tillers from the 70s to 2007 will fit the 312. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daron1965 644 #3 Posted March 15, 2019 Thank you, I thought it needed a special mount. I thought I read somewhere about an idler pulley on it. Thank you again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,204 #4 Posted March 15, 2019 The newer style like the 77-36TL01 had the idler mounted on the tiller bracket and used the same axle bracket as the snow blade. You have to remove the slot hitch to mount the tiller. The older style like the 7-1211 had a different axle bracket and the idler was mounted on it. It also used a two belt drive with another idler set up mounted to the frame just in front of the transmission. It was a pain because you had to move the foot rest out and a second belt guard was used. An advantage was that you didn't have to remove the slot hitch. A bar was inserted in the hitch and lifted the tiller. I used the older style and utilized the newer single belt drive and had the best of both. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,369 #5 Posted March 15, 2019 I use this one on my 520s, you do need the rear axle bracket/hitch for a snow plow/blade and of course the rear rockshaft and cable for lifting... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
