David are you talking about where the pin labeled #3 is inserted and at the end of #S 7&8 ?. By no means am I an expert but Id have to say How much material will have to be removed and How much will be left? will it substantially weaken the brackets?I have a 123 and a #1 tiller but i have the gear box made for it.Personally id take the loss and get the correct one,just my opinion!Are you able to post some pics?I dont know the difference in the gear box for the # 2 tiller.Im sure there are others on here that are far more Qualified than I and hopefully they will help you out!!
Allen thank you I will do so!Im not in the money at the moment but i was just checkin availibility and price and makin notes for when im ready to purchase the seals and gaskets
