moe1965 722 #2 Posted November 6, 2023 Depending on how used it is you should check out the drive chain and the sprockets readjust if necessary and grease it up 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 35,903 #4 Posted November 6, 2023 to the If you don't have them, download the manuals for your tractor and blower. Make sure you get the blower belt routed correctly and on the correct PTO pulley. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,086 #7 Posted November 8, 2023 @Vintage_Wheel_Horse_Lover those blowers need a regular check out for rotational , movement ease , the easier it moves , the better it is , that also refers to the PTO mule belt drive set up and , the idler belt pulley frame just behind the blower itself , auger chain , adjustment and correct lubrication for it , a number of details , that make them run with ease . look up on this site , snow blower mounting pictures , and related info , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
