kwiesert2@comcast.net 1 #1 Posted October 30, 2023 Hi, I'm new to a Wheel Horse 1267. It has a mower deck, and I'd like to have capability of snow blade if possible. Have read the mower uses speed hitch 8-5211. I'll attach a photo (from left side, and across front of mower deck); could someone confirm whether this photo indicates I have an 8-5211, and secondly whether a mid-mount blade can use that? Thanks much. Ken 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,539 #2 Posted October 31, 2023 Welcome to Red Square The snow or dozer blade uses rear hitches bolted to the cast iron transmission axle housings. A pulled grader blade connects to the mid hitch you have. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 60,076 #3 Posted October 31, 2023 these are very universal tractors, with like kinds. The mid mount and front mount tach-a-matics all hold the same attachments (shy of a select few, like D series, Xi series, etc) from the early 60’s into the 2000’s for the most part. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 39,112 #4 Posted October 31, 2023 1267 does not use the front tach o matic for the modern mower decks. They use the side tensioner pulley. Snow plow needs a rear axle bracket and long frame plow. Mid grader that is the pull style will work fine. To use modern deck and snowblower you would need to find or make one of these adapters in this thread. I have a 1267 I upgraded to the front mule drive 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kwiesert2@comcast.net 1 #5 Posted November 1, 2023 Thank you for the above responses, including yours gwest_ca-(File Mod); I did not realize the mid mount blade is intended to be a grader blade, though have now seen references/videos on using one as a snow blade, at least if the snow is not too deep. Looking for a grader blade for the 1267 appears to be the next step! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
