jlangdon 0 #1 Posted June 2, 2010 First time caller, first time listener. A brief intro. My father inherited a 516H when my grandpa passed away this winter. He was very excited to find a tiller and snow blower for his new machine. We were able to find a tiller on craigs list this spring. It is a much older model than the tractor, but have successfully got it mounted and have tilled plenty with it. I was recently informed that there should be a helper spring mounted between the tractor and the tiller to help lift. I have fabricated a square tubing frame and lifting arm that is mounted to the top of the tiller and the lifting arm comes up under your right arm (lever action). So you pull back on the factory lifting lever and push forward with my fabricated lifting lever. This works with minimal effort for me, but my 63 year old dad just can't do it. Any of your knowledge on this helper spring or other helpful modifications would be greatly appreciated. Pictures of the hookup would be great. Also, this tiller was restored when we bought it, now there is no visible model number. Is there any chance I will be able to figure this out now? Thank you fellas!

tgranthamfd 29 #2 Posted June 2, 2010 Sounds like an interesting setup, give us a picture of the tiller, and I bet we can get you a close model number. And :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jlangdon 0 #5 Posted June 4, 2010 I can tell you that this tiller has no side skirts and doesn't have the soil leveling hinged sheet metal in the back. Justin :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
