Hit the parts lookup and enter in what tiller you have.

#1 or #2?

Basically, it's the same as a WF mower deck mule drive except the pullies are straight and not canted to the left as on a mower deck.
\When I built my combo weight box and tiller drive I used parts from a WF mower drive.

 

[dschwandt]

Parts #6 & 7 have to be modified to a straight position from the canted angle used on the mower drive.

Aren’t the pulleys supposed to be more durable (solid?) for tiller use as well?

The old versions were, no need with today's pulleys.

Ok I mounted the tiller and mule and belts. Will it be ok to keep the tension spring, or should I install adjuster arm.

Best to use 2 J bolts, but you can get by with what you have.

You might get away with the spring depending on your soil type. If it is not fairly soft, you will risk burning up that expensive long belt. I'd add the second threaded tensioner.
