Decided to bring the tiller in and put a new set of tines on (a great Christmas gift from my parents) before spring gets here. Took some PB Blaster and a long breaker bar, but I got it done. Wire wheeled the bolts, ran a tap through the nuts, and put anti-seize compound on bolts when I put it back together. I ran out of time, so i didn't get to finish it, but it's in the garage waiting for when I get a chance. I think the new tines will make a big difference in how well it works this year. Thanks for looking, Jason BEFORE  New vs. Old (can you tell which is which?)  Partly Finished  |

Here's a short video of the 73 and tiller at work in the garden last year. My dad's driving and my grandpop was raking out big rocks. Jason [utube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_DsjRabmUQ&feature=channel_page[/utube] |

Jason, My father works for a Cub Cadet Dealer, so that's where he got the tines. I'm not sure about the video. When i look at it on my computer it comes right up. Good luck getting yours replaced. jason |

Diz, Yeah, I'm hoping that I won't have to do that job again for many more years. This year I'll have the brinly plow on my 73 and the tiller on my 1250. That way I won't have to swap out implements and hold up the garden project. Also got a new walk behind one row planter to use. Can't wait for the garden. Thanks again, Jason |

jfinney, Sounds like your going to have a real nice operation going on when you start. Be able to jump off of one and right on the other and keep going. :High5 Hope you get lots of pictures when the time comes. :D Edited by Diz Jr., Feb 16 2009, 11:13 PM.

Acecil, thanks for your nice comments. I plan on taking videos of the moldboard plow and tiller at work this spring. I'll post those when I get around to it. Now all I need is some more time to get the rest of the tines switched out...don't know when that's gonna be. Time seems to be at a premium. Thanks again, Jason |

Wow! What a difference on those tines! I bet that will make the tilling job go a bit faster this spring. I am getting the fever now too. Been planning that garden for a couple of weeks now. |
