New to me model 2 tiller

[John Wheeler]

I just picked this up today and haven’t had time to deep dive it yet. Got it all for $200! I already have a 1450. Any pointers on the tiller would be appreciated. Also, does this mean I have a sleeve hitch now? Or is that part of the tiller assembly? Will it run off the same mule drive as my deck and blower? This one is pretty mangled up.

Kinda hard to see, but it looks like you have an extended sleeve hitch adapter that lets you keep the tiller gearbox on all the time so you can use other attachments without removing the gearbox.

You will need the mule drive meant for the tiller.
Hopefully it, including the looong drive belt, is on the rig as pictured.
The tiller mounting has nothing to do with a sleeve hitch.

Sounds like a good deal and it includes the important belt guard.
Tillers are a PITA to mount and dismount.
My 1650 mounts one year round.

Great price, I have a #2 tiller on a 1000 and it is HEAVY to lift, so I am rebuilding a 1450 with hydraulic lift.

You definitely need the mule drive for the tiller, and hopefully the guards came with your tiller. You will also need the three pt hitch. I do not know if it would be helpful to you, I could upload pictures of mine it is still on the 1000

Thanks

If it’s already mounted on the tractor, doesn’t that mean it already has the three point on it?

If it picks up and lets down w/the controls....
YES!!
It should work fine the way it is set up.
