Hi guys, I’m in the market for a tractor with a tiller. I found this but it doesn’t have a 3ph. The seller said he thinks one can be added. Is this true, if so how difficult and cost. I can do the labor myself unless a special tool is needed. Thanks.

Yep if it’s in running order it would be the cheapest, quickest way to a tiller. Keep in mind they quit making them in 1974, so it’s guaranteed to have issues with deferred maintenance at that price, but it’s pretty much a mechanical beast and most parts are still availiable. If it’s including the factory model 33 tiller, it does not use a 3PH to attach, but you can still add a 3PH if you want to use a plough or back blade, etc. The main difference in the 140 vs the 318-420 you’ve been posting is the 140 does not have power steering and the newer rigs do. The newer gas machines are all twin cylinder engines vs the 140‘s single. There’s more to it then that, but those, in my opinion, are the huge differences.
I’m mainly interested in getting something to till the garden with but you say the gt345 has power steering ?
My bad. What I posted as HT345 is actually a GT235. So the 210 and 235 have ps?
No need to apologize. You and the others have been a big help with your vast knowledge. I really appreciate all the input from everyone.
Now if any of you have questions about hvac, I have about 44 yrs behind me.
I was thinking if I found one with other implements that the wife could use it.

I think the 210 is waaay overpriced. Plus it’s Gear drive, not hydrostatic.
The 140 H1 seems pretty high too, but it is a more complete package. Are you ever going to mow with it, or just till? That may make your decision. You could always try to sell the deck if you don’t need it, but you won’t get the difference in price from the 800$ 140H3 + tiller combo. I think it’s the clear winner based solely on the descriptions. Have you gone to see any of them?

I might mow with it but probably not especially if I need to remove the tiller to install the deck. I’ve already got several other options to mow. So it looks like the h3. I have not seen either. They are both a little over 2 hrs away.
Yehaw! I’ve pm the seller, waiting to hear back. What about the missing air cleaner, can I put a generic after market on it. ThanksRoad trip.
