30 inch Mechanical Tiller Adaptor Parts

[MarkCoburn]

I am I terested in buying a used 30" tiller for my 345. I found one available. The current owner said that it came with her 345 that she bought used 8 years ago.

So, the attachment kit must still be on her tractor. If I buy the tiller from her, I'll need to know what parts need to be removed from her tractor and what tools I'll need to bring with me.

Anyone have this setup and can send some photos? Do you like this rototiller? Is it worth $350?

Thanks,

Mark

Found this in the online manual.

Is it really just the 4 pins?
