You're missing the pivot arms for the snowblower. If I can find my manual I'll scan a good picture for you. If you have your model number Toro probably shows them on the ipl.

Jim that would be wonderful because tag is missing or does someone have a picture of under there tractor? thanks going to get pics of tractor

[Jim_M 179]

See the 2 pieces of 3/8" x 1" flat bar that go from the rear of the blower frame to to the holes in the rock shaft? That's all you're missing. You can make them easily enough. I can get you the dimensions, but it will be a few days bfeore I get time to drive out to where the blower is.

[canam1991 2]

That would be great would it be easy to make the chute turn shaft thingy?

[perry 82]

nice find

you can just drop that cab at my house .

It could be made easily enough as long as you don't care about having it look 100% original. I'll see if I can find a picture of that side of the tractor.

I don't own this one anymore so if I don't have a picture I won't be able to get one, but I have another blower just like it (not on a tractor).

[canam1991 2]

Thanks perry

Jim i don't care what it looks like its a work tractor not a show but could you get me the dimensions of that to while your there? thanks

[Jim_M 179]

Yup, will do.

In the mean time here's the parts diagram for a 6-7451 snowblower.

You can see the 2 arms that you're missing, #42. You also need 50, 51 and 52.

If you put the blower on your tractor, set the front of it on a block so that the cutting edge is 4" to 6" off the ground and raise the implement lift all the way up, you can measure from the center of the hole on your plow bracket to the center of the hole in the rock shaft (both sides should measure the same) and you'll know how long to make the arms. They're made of 3/8" x 1" hot rolled bar.

As for the chute crank, you can bend it up out of 3/8" round stock. with the blower on the tractor you should be able to come up with the length, just remember it will move forward and back as you lower or lift the blower, so come up with a length that's a happy medium. part # 50 is the support bracket for the crank, anything that holds the crank about 8" away from the side of the tractor and allows the crank to move forward and back should work just fine for you. #51 slides through the hole in #50.

HI that is a nices find we are still looking for a cab and blower! but great find! and to .5racer it is belt down to box then a small pto shaft! :ychain:

With minimal effort you take the adaptors off a D250 snow blower for use on the smaller D's. Same blower just different attachments

i,ve never seen a blower on a 250 :thumbs2:

If you took all the mountings off the back of that blower, I am almost positive it is a twin to my Sears blower. The chute turn shaft, that you are missing, is made up of a solid square shaft, with a crank handle bent on the end of it. That telescopes inside of a hollow square shaft with a open hook, on the end, that connects to the eye hook on the swivel mechanism. I don't have the blower at my house, but if someone else doesn't beat me to it, I'll send you a picture.

[canam1991 2]

ok thank you
