Tiller Hitch Sideshift 

Refer to Figure 3-1:

The three point and gearbox can be sideshifted to the left 

of tiller center for various working conditions.

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  
After sideshifting check to see that the driveline clears all 

shields on the tiller, tractor, and tiller hitch. If not, decrease 

sideshift until clearance is obtained.

1. Loosen the two u

-

bolts (#1) which hold the top 

hitch and gearbox frame (#3) to the front tube.

2. Remove the two bolts (#2) which hold the top 

hitch and gearbox frame (#3) to the rear of the tiller.

3. Loosen the two u

-

bolts (#4) which hold the two lower 

hitch clevises (#5) to the front tube.

4. Slide the top hitch and gearbox assembly (#3) to the 

new desired location.

5. Re-center the lower hitch clevises (#5) with respect 

to the gearbox.

6. Check to make sure lower hitch clevis (#5) are 

26 7/8" apart from inside of clevis plate to inside of 

clevis plate and 13 7/16" from center of gearbox input 

shaft to inside of clevis plate as shown in Figure 1-2 

on page 11.

7. Tighten all bolts and nuts referring to the 

“Torque 

Values Chart”

 on page 32.

NOTE:  

For maximum sideshift, position lower left 

hitch clevis outside the side plate.

Chain Tightener

Figure 3-2

Drive Chain Tension

Refer to Figure 3-2:

The tension on the drive chain can be easily adjusted by 

using the chain tightener stud. Should backlash occur, 

the following should be done.
1. Loosen L.H. nut by turning it clockwise.
2. Torque stud counterclockwise to 20 - 30 foot pounds. 
3. Tighten left-hand nut counterclockwise to 400 ft-lbs. 

Be sure to hold stud in position while tightening nut.

threads. Loosen nut by turning it clockwise.
