If it's a homelite tiller made by simplicity you drag it around, if it's a ROTO-tiller you can look at my post later when I get to it of the 1690039 roto-tiller setup. (if I remember to attach the pictures)  |

The top mounting bar is solid on a Simplicity, thats hollow, and there is an intermediate pulley set that attaches to the tractor before you put the tiller on. And that homelite has a lever to engage? it on top? Simples engages with the center PTO. The mounting setup looks similar though, and the price is CHEAP.
This is the best picture I have without dismounting it:

| ATF. I would say it is very much kin to the Simplicity tillers but will take some modifications to fix. The stinger is wrong and I cant tell anything about the lower connections but those can be corrected since you weld. Big question is is there a PTO/muledrive assembly? I would think that would be the greatest hurdle to overcome. BTW: some of the tillers for Simplicity had a control lever on the tiller also. ie; 990503, 990545, 990694 Their model numbers fall in line with the late FDT's and early RBT's. |

Good to know, I was looking at some SpeedAire 5hp 220v, cast iron, two stage compressors |

The tiller is a Simplicity built unit for a Homelite. It is however for a small frame, (Broadmoor). I've got one in orange and black only reason i recognized it. |

| I'm almost sure that the Homelite stuff all has different mounts than Simplicity. Same equipment, just has different mounting attachment points. |

| Yeah, it really looked like a Simplicity design. Richard I'm not sure I agree with your statement as I've seen some Homelite T-10, T-12, and T-16's and they appear to be virtually identical to Baron, Land Lord, and Sovereign tractors, but I did not check out their tillers |
