Tractor = Ford Model 860 has 172 ci gas engine, 5-speed transmission w/ 3 pt. lift and live PTO, serial # says it was built in 1956
Tiller = Long Model 1537 - is 7 feet wide - hooks up to 3 pt. hitch / pto drive
How many horsepower does the tractor have and how many should i need to run this tiller?
In order to get the tiller going i had to spring for new bearings/seals/o-rings/hardware/welding/etc. My guess is that each of the tine assemblies had shear pins on them (just a guess). But it looks like some previous owner welded them all solid. This is a problem as i had to have some welding done due to the the straight keys busting out on the ring gear shaft. In order to protect the tiller from another overhaul (or the tractor for that matter) do i need a slip clutch? does it go on the tiller shaft or the tractor shaft (both 1 3/8 inch 6 spline). If so, how big? I think they are rated by series numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6, etc. Maybe the round shaft 'shear pin' style pto is the way to go?? Best place to get a hold of slip clutch? How long is a stand alone slip clutch so i know how much to cut out of the pto shaft?
