Well,
I managed to acquire a 33 tiller. I got the tiller itself, mounting hardware, and the pto shaft assembly for $550. The cool thing they were about 15 minutes from my house. (I even got the cool bolts that go on the back of the tractor frame.)
The tiller seems in good shape. I've seen much worse pictured on ebay.
What I did NOT get, was the lift arm, and the funky quarter-round plate thingie (The one with all the holes). Seller didn't have them.
I'm OK with that, I found that Jim's Lawn and Garden has them for a decent price. So I'm good there.
I looked on JDs part site, but it's not readily apparent how the lift arm connects to the plate thingie (if it even does) and/or how the plate thingie connects to the rest of the tiller.
So here's the questions.
1. Anybody got a pdf of the manual they'd be willing to email?
2. If not. Anybody got a picture of their tiller mounted on the tractor? Specifically how that plate thingie and lift rod bolt/connect?
Bonus questions: The tiller came with one extension. Should I keep my eyes open for the second extension? Is it worth the time/effort/money to configure the tiller to max width?
Extra point bonus questions: While I was surfing Jim's, I see he had an integral hitch too. So... Do I need a different lift arm to run the integral hitch? The cool bolts that go on the frame for the tiller, they're the same for the hitch, right?
Thanks
