Tiller Help me identify this tiller please.....

Michigan Whitetail · May 3, 2017

About 4 months ago, I purchased a used B2400 Kubota, estimated to be a 1997. It came with an old rototiller, guessing it is from the late 90's. It is very rusty, and a type of reddish look, but my wife said on the underside it looked as if it could have been a yellow color originally. I cannot figure out the brand name of it. There doesn't seem to be any name plate on it anywhere. However, in the attached pic, it show's "MADE IN ITALY" and has what I think is a model number on it of "J 130." A couple of places on some of the flat metal there seems to be a raised triangle area about the size of your hand, that may be a trade mark of some sort?? It is chain driven and near the cap to add gear oil, it is stamped with an "88"....The filling caps are about 3/4" and they are made of black plastic which from what I have seen is quite unique.....This is a 48" tiller and 4 blades on each section. Can anyone lend me help with the identification of this tiller???

Thank you for your reply; I have now had time to add the other pictures. I welcome your help. Just noticed tonight when counting the blades, one is broke. I will need to know brand name if I am to order a new part. I also want to paint it and make it look nice. Not knowing what the brand is though, not sure what color to paint it.

Configuration is very similar to my Yanmar 60" tiller. Instead of the fixed hitch points, mine has a quick attach type hitch.

You don't need to know the brand to get blades. I bought a complete set of blades from a company that had an online chart with dozens of blade types plus hole size spacing and blade orientation. I suggest buying a complete set because my old ones used to look like my new ones, but not any more!

I use to know where there was one like it or very similar. My uncle bought it around 1989-90. His was a 48 inch and there was no name on it just those numbers and Made in Italy. His was a wheat color. I don't know where it is at now because it was sold on auction when he passed away. I do know it worked very well as I used it several times and I saw ground that he used it on

LD1; With the additional pics, I was hoping that you may have had an idea on this model?? As of yet, no one has been able to identify this model or brand name for me.
