FL1000 tiller?

[bearring0]

Hello this is my first post here. I picked up this tiller not knowing what it was.. I still dont 100% From what I can gather its an OLD Kubota that is meant for their specific tractors... I didnt realize that normal opperation for them is CCW.

So my question is this? What are my options to make it operational for my modern tractor.. I thought of turning the gears in the gearbox around but, Is it going to be something that I can get replacement parts for or should I just resale it to someone that has the right setup?
What's the realistic cost of up keep on these and the time to find the parts?
Thanks in advance .

Wait... What???

That tiller is fine for that tractor.
That tiller was not made for the odd ball B6000 which is the only model that has a reverse rotation PTO,
You know this because the PTO splines are completely different.
Also they were not three point tillers.

It also doesn't matter which way the PTO turns if the blades are on it right.
When it spins right now do the cutting side of the blades hit the ground first?
If not you need to swap the blades from the right to the left as someone has installed them wrong.

Tillers can be forward turning or reverse turning.

FYI: That's also not an FL850, or FL1000 gearbox is wrong.

Hello,
Thank you for the input.. i will take a look at the rotation... Also I am have trouble finding a pto shaft that will fit.. The one I have for it is missing the tractor side yoke and cross of the upper U joint that I couldnt match up... The shaft coming out of the gear box to the main drive pto shaft is 1" smooth... I will post pictures of both tines and shaft.

Thank you for your input.

So after looking Again and doing a little research.. I looks like the tiller is a K-42 or a variant of that.. not exactly like this but closer.. and it looks like the tines are backward... when rotating clockwise the tines turn in the opposite direction on the tractor and the tines do not hit on the cutting edge.

Is Tilling backwards something that is done?
And also how would I get it to go forward the easiest way?
Thanks

Read this Forward vs Reverse

The tractor always goes forward, it's the tiller that rotates in reverse or forward directions.
If the blades are not facing the right direction for the rotation that the PTO is turning it, you need to reverse the blades.

I should have reworded that ... I know the tractor goes forward.. the tines are turned to be rolling forward.. But my CW rotation PTO has them going backwards, opposite of what they should be to cut.

Reverse the tines!
