postman63 0 #1 Posted January 12, 2009 I have a 85, 417-A with Hydraulic lift. I just purchased a 42" Snowthrower Model 79360 that is made for the Dial-a Height manual lift. Is there a part or adaptor to fit this thrower to my machine. Or, can anyone get me some pictures of the proper mount so I can modify to my machine. ( I hope) Thanks :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #2 Posted January 12, 2009 The 79360 snow thrower is for the 300 series garden tractors and should be a direct fit on your 417 - providing you received all of the necessary and correct parts with the thrower. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
postman63 0 #3 Posted January 12, 2009 Yeh!!!, I have just picked it up and noticed the lift rod had a bolt and cotter pin to connect to the lift lever. I remembered the attachment on the tractor also is a pin. Since then I have noticed the bolt on the lift rod appears to be removable. I am guessing that I need to remove that and then the pin on the hydraulic lift will attach there? Roger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 19,284 #5 Posted January 12, 2009 And after you get the blower hanging on the tractor properly you'll need to get the belt routed correctly. Heres a link to info on that. http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/index.php?showtopic=5522 Mike........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
