ASSEMBLY
STEP 3
ROTARY TILLER INSTALLATION:
(Primary installation)
Lower the lift arm to place the rotary tiller’s frame flat on
the ground. Slide the rotary tiller under the tractor.
Lower the lift arm (item 1) until it locks in the "UP"
position (item 2) to lift the front portion, then lower the
support (item 3) so that it supports the rotary tiller frame.
Raise the lift arm until the rotary tiller’s hitch (item 4) is
even with the tractor’s tow hitch. Slide the rotary tiller
hitch onto the tractor’s tow hitch (the holes must be
aligned). Secure by screwing the hitch pin (item 5)
firmly.
Line up the rotary tiller’s frame with the tractor’s frame.
Lift and slide the mounting pins (item 6) into the
mounting bracket’s holes (item 7) (on both sides,
previously installed on transaxle).
NOTE:
If the tractor is equipped with a transmission that
is bolted at 14” center to center, interchange the
mounting pins.
Lightly tighten the square head screws on the mounting
brackets (item 8).
Install the tiller to tractor
Install the adjustable link
To install the adjustable link, locate a hole or if
necessary, drill a hole in the tractor’s frame directly
above the hole on the tiller’s frame as shown.
Note:
Check the primary belt alignment before drilling
the hole. Make sure the mower supports do not touch
the rotary tiller’s pulley.
Install the special bolt (item 1) from the outside of the
frame and secure in place with a flange nut (on the
inside of the tractor frame). Tighten firmly. Do the same
on the rotary tiller’s frame.
Attach the link (item 2) on the bolts (item 1) installed.
Secure with two 2.5 mm. hair pins (item 3).
NOTE:
If here is too much space between the link and
the frame
,
add eight flat washers 3/8" (item 4) before
inserting the 2.5mm hair pins as shown.
For the Cub Cadet 2000 and 2500 series:
Remove the bolt from the tractor frame and install the
link with the 5/16’’ x 1 1/4’’ hex bolt and 5/16’’ nut
(head first) to secure the top part of the link on the
tractor frame.
Use the 3/8’’ x 1’’ hex bolt and nut (head first) to
secure the bottom part of the link on the rotary tiller
frame.
