daninthesand 0 #1 Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Hi all. Very new here. I have a 1966 WH 856 tractor that came with a snow blower attachment. It is not currently installed. The mower deck is being used. The tractor is not here, its at my other property, (2 hours away) and when I drive out there, i'd like to install the snowblower. I have been spending some time in the forum's manual section but there is a lot of stuff in there. The attached picture is one I found on the net which looks very much like my tractor. (mine is in waaaay better condition ) I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. The correct manual to help me install it? Thanks so much. I also browsed many of the pictures of refurbished tractor...WOW! You people are talented. Edited October 5, 2013 by daninthesand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,230 #5 Posted November 15, 2013 You may not need weights...the blower sits on the ground when blowing. You may want a set of chains though for traction backing up. I have a blower on my 857...when I put my 250 plus body on the seat, I do not even need chains. Chains are the way to go though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,936 #6 Posted November 24, 2013 Are the chains for traction or holding the seat on the tractor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slufoot733 70 #7 Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Dan, I purchased a kit that mounts to the wheel of my tractor. Once the kit is installed you can add wqeight using plate weights from a weight lifting set barbell. I got them from mgrubb1 on eBay. Look on eBay, search for seller mgrubb1 and check out what he has available. I love the way I can add or subtract weight as needed. It's quick, cheap and works great.
