Help Identify JD Tiller and Front Blade

[ubelongoutside]

I have a GX335 and I wanted to get one of the 30" tillers for it. I came across one for sale, and the guy wanted to sell a blade with it.

The part numbers on the stickers weren't much help as far as compatability with my GX335. From what I found online I believed the tiller is compatible with my tractor. I wasn't sure about the blade, but I figured I could resell the blade if not compatible. Worst case I think I could resell both as he was asking a fair price given what I found online.

I'm wondering if anyone can help me figure out what I have here, and make sure if the tiller is compatible with the tractor or not. My tractor isn't here otherwise I'd just try to pop it on. I can give it it a try this weekend though.

Here are some pictures of what I got. Trying to figure out if what I have is compatible with the GX335, and if not what models these setups are for (5## maybe?) Any help is appreciated.

Not sure what that fits but I don’t think it’s the 325, 335, 345 series.

I have pictures of all my attachments and will send them in a minute.

Tiller Compatability with GX335

I have a GX335 and I'd like to pick up one of the 30" mechanical tillers to put on it. Trouble is I can't find anything definitive to tell me which fits and which won't as there seems to be a few different ones out there. For example I'm looking at one and the tag says 30" mech tiller. How do...

Thanks for the replies. Looks like they're for an X500 series.

Anyone need a blade and/or tiller for their X500

I'm assuming the tiller is compatible with my GX335, but I need a different frame mount. Is that true?

The tiller frame mount (forgive me if I'm using the wrong term) is very close, but I'm guessing it won't line up. Blade mount is definitely different.

Yep, even after looking through that I wasn't clear on it so I went ahead and bought them as the price seemed right. Now that I have them I can definitely see they're not for my tractor.

You should have asked a dealer, unless you did. I didn't read that in the posts. If not you should have offered half of what he was asking. Sometimes it's a bear to sell attachments for only specific tractors.

500 series are a popular model so you should not have any trouble selling them. Keep in mind that the parts from Deere are cost prohibitive. When looking for my rototiller for the 345 I explored that path and the parts to adapt were more than the tillers I was looking to buy. In order to get the parts used is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Not sure where you are located but my father has this same HYD 42 Rototiller for sale. He has passed and we no longer have a use for it. It is located in the Upper Peninsula of MI. He bought the same one I had.

You speak the truth. I thought I was on to a great deal here, but after doing a lot of reading online and talking to the dealer it doesn't sound like a logical plan to try to make the plow work unless I come across the GX335 frame for it cheap somewhere.

Hoping to just sell them and keep looking for what I need. May try to make the tiller work though as the frames look a lot alike. Probably bring the GX335 back home this weekend and play with it.

Sorry to hear about your Dad. I'm a long ways from the UP. If I end up deciding to go that route though I'll get in touch here.

Thanks

Well I ended up moving both of these, and didn't lose any money on the deal. I'll call this a lesson learned and either A.) consult the dealer first, or B.) only buy for my specific model.

I think I'm done with attachments for the John Deere anyway, now that I have the L2800 in that other color
