Murray vs Garden Way Tiller

Have an 18 HP Murray, 10 years old, running fine and just got a Garden Way 28" tiller attachment. Wondering if this is "good" match.

The tiller is a model 14006 and has a hookup that requires a mounting bracket. Cant find any reference to it anyware.

Could there be a "universal" bracket that this uses to bolt to the Murray? It has two inverted hooks on top and a slide pin on the bottom.

I'm hoping that once I get it mounted, the pulley system from the mower deck and the lift lever from the deck will be utilized for the tiller.

Any input on this bracket for the tractor to "accept" the tiller would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Guys

Here are the pictures, I believe I just need to create a "method" on the body of the tractor to attach the tiller. What do you think?

Thanks!

Garden Way was made by Troybuilt, so maybe you could check their website. I believe it's owned by MTD now. Don't you need some kind of rear PTO setup to run that tiller?

Yes, I've been to the website, found parts diagram for the tiller itself.

I will try to run it off the front PTO and run a belt underneath to the tiller.

Two years ago, going down hill, trailer unhooked and came forward and punctured tire, was tubeless but now has tube. Still functional.

BTW update, got bracket installed and looks like will work, still haven't figured out how to lift tiller when not in use or in transport position. Thinking of putting a pully on side of frame and run a cable from tiller to lift arm under tractor.

Thoughts?

Thanks
