fixing a frontier rt1140 tiller

A friend of mine dropped this off the other day, both lower attachment points were bent severely and the top structure was ripped off. The previous owner tried to chain the top structure to the rod in the back to adjust the lift gate hatch. I straightened the rod and the top cover which was also badly mangled. Used a td cutmaster 52 plasma, miller 210 mig, and my home built bender to come up with new attachment points. The lowers are 2"x2" .25" square tubing with 1 1/4" sch 40 pipe for the top half. Should hold up now!

That's a whole-bunch of hitch for a 4 ft tiller. :thumbsup: The previous owner would have to try harder to tear it up next time. :drink:

Any idea how he did it?

yeah, he is using a 45hp tractor, and probably caught something and kept pulling.
