I just acquired a Long 5' tiller(model 1537 ??), pto driven and 3 pt hitch. I rebuilt it (new seals and bearings) and new paint job.Excellent condition. What would this tiller's resale value be?

Wow! Another one actually exists! I say that b/c I was on here looking for info about them and needed parts. I got this exact model at a farm auction for $375. It was a little rough paint-wise, but the gear box seemed tight and the tines were decent. I found out later from seeing a manual that a Long dealer faxed me, that I do not have the wheels that guide it along. Do you have the wheels? What kind of shape is yours in? What did you pay?

PS - Don't shear the splined shaft off. That's a damn expensive part!! ; )

hi thanks for the reply. My tiller is in good shape, I changed the 4 bearings and 4 seals and am in the process of painting. Mine does have the metal wheels. It didn't cost me anything because the guy was going to send it to scrap yard. one bad bearing was the only real problem. all the gears looked good and all the tines are in good shape

That's great! You should be able to get some decent money out of it. Those new Howard's are really expensive, but I bet you should be able to get at the very least $5-600 out of it. Where are you located? Maybe I could use another! I'm in West PA.

my only concern now is if the tiller is too big or too much for my john deere 650. I live in south louisiana

How many HP is that? I think the whole 1HP per 1" of tiller is bull. If it's bogging down, just put it in a lower gear and try again.

One thing I did not like about that tiller though is the lack of a slip clutch or a shear pin, so be careful where you till.

I am also a little concerned with the lack of a slip clutch or shear pin.The tractor is approximately 18 hp. I tried the tiller the other day and the tractor seemed to handle the load ok. I ran it in both low and high range at about 1800 - 2000 rpm. The tractor is a little light on the front end with the tiller attached, so I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

That's actually how I sheared the tiller's shaft off. I bought a slip clutch, but it shortened the PTO shaft considerably, and when I lifted it too far, the shaft was as short as it would go and the 3pt lifting force just sheared it right off. Ouch. That sucked. Lucky, a local welder got it re-attached for $40.

I tilled my new garden with it, which hadn't been planted in years, so it was essentially weeds and grass. I was in Low range and going about as slow as the Hydro would take me and I still needed to make three passes. The tiller tines seem a little worn, but I have no new ones to compare them to.

If you have a loader, you could always put a few concrete blocks in the bucket to help stabilize it.

Good luck and let me know how it goes.
