Gantsky,

Many gray market tractors are imported to the U.S. They often come with a tiller, as this is the most widely used implement in the nations of the far east.

It's highly unlikely that you'll be able to find parts for this tiller here in the U.S........but finding another tiller, for parts, should be quite easy, and likely much cheaper.

Joel ....

Gantsky, before your brother gets too far down that road he better have a look at that tiller.

With the tiller off it's tines, turn the tines carefully by hand in the direction the wear marks show they have been turning. Now check the direction the input shaft of the gearbox is going as you stand facing it.

If it's turning clockwise forget it, unless he also has an Asian grey market tractor with a wrong way PTO output, or one of the few Russian units with a reversible PTO gear box.

A lot of the early Asian grey market tractors had a clockwise PTO rotation, North American standard is counterclockwise.

Best of luck.

Murf; If it weren't so limp in horsepower my 1947 Cub Farmall might make that tiller work, their PTO ran backwards at engine RPM. I don't remember the shaft size or the number of splines, but odd as a three dollar bill. ....

Hi. I know this is a long shot, but did you ever get parts for the tiller? ....
