Looking for a tiller drive shaft

[Cord]

I have a two point tiller, but no drive shaft for it. How can I go about getting one? I've tried to e-mail Hoye and Scheaffer and neither has replied. Anybody ever have one built?

We have plenty of tiller shafts in stock for yanmars
What model of tractor & tiller do you have ?

I have a 1110d with a matching tiller for it. I looked for some numbers on the tiller, but couldn't find any.

Are you able to run down some preventative maintenance items for the tiller? I looked for oil fills and grease zerks, but couldn't find any.

The tiller should be a Yanmar RS1000. That's what came with both of my YM1110D's. I think the shaft is common to the YM1301, YM1401, YM1510. Since you have to buy a tiller pto shaft, I would seriously look at converting the tiller to 3pt. That way it will take a longer pto shaft, but I think it should be a standard piece. It also gets that 2pt mount off the back of the tractor where it interfers with the 3pt (if you have 3pt hitch). If you need digital photos, I can get some of mine.

I know that I have seen some 3pt pics of your tractor. I just can't recall how your 3pt is hooked up. I know that I still have the 2pt bracket on my tractor AND I have the 3pt system on. In fact, I have the mower hooked up right now. I had thought about converting the tiller to a 3pt, but figured I could just make some new lift rods for the upper pins and still use the lower 2pt mount for a a lot less work.

While I have you on the line, are you able to answer my about the tiller lubrication?

I have 3 of those shafts in stock /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I don't know what your 3pt looks like, but mine has stabilizer chains which run from the drawbar to the lower lift arms with turnbuckles to tighten them down. When raising the 3pt, the stabilizer chains can get caught on the 2pt bracket. Usually this only happens when I don't have anthing on the 3pt to keep the arms apart.

It you get a chance, check out my web page. If you scroll down to the bottom, there are two photos of the 3pt on my YM1301D which has the same problem. You can see how close the chains come to the 2pt linkage. I attached one of the photos here.

 

[Cord]

That's a interesting problem. I have a simular setup to yours, but the lower arms are attached differently. Really shouldn't affect the clearances though. When I was setting my hitch up, I know that I ran the arms through a full cycle of motion and never had an interference. If my pumpkin housing comes in tonight (sent it to a machinist for a new pivot bushing) I'll shoot some pics of my hitch.

hi buddy
i got a yanmar 1100 2wd recently. i need to get some implements for it. i got two acres i want mess with. What size of rotary cutter do you recommend? and tiller. I could use some help on where to get ahold of one of those tillers that was meant for the Yanmar 1100. Not to common around these parts of Texas. Thx

I believe Gbirky's 1110 came with a RS1200 tiller. It's hard to read the lable, but I believe mine is a RS900. My tiller is just 36" wide. I'm still having drive shaft problems, so if you buy the tiller make sure it has a good, correct driveshaft with it. My tiller didn't come with one and it's been a nightmare trying to get something that will work. Most of these tractors come with a tiller, so you should be able to find one. Ernie's, Hoye and some others might have one. I know that these guys have a 1100 that they are parting out. They might just have a tiller.

I was over to Ernie's yesterday and looking through his stock of tiller parts I did note a number of shafts for 2 pt tillers. You might want to contact him if you're still in need of a shaft.

 

[Cord]

Thanks for the suggestion, but that base has been covered. Enough said.

My YM1110D came with an RS1000 tiller. Its 1 meter (1000mm) or 39" wide. The tractor seems to handle it quite well, though any sizable rocks or roots will knock the tractor around a bit. My YM1301D came with an RS1100 tiller.
