Gasaholic 286 #1 Posted November 15, 2023 Just acquired a snowthrower and a snow blade. The snowthrower was for a 520xi I believe. Before I waste my time trying to fit things up, Anybody know if that massive thing could mount up to a C-100 Wheel Horse? Otherwise, any market for a used snowblower? LOL.

wallfish 18,072 #2 Posted November 15, 2023 xi blowers would need some modifications to make it work but not worth the effort running one with a little 10 hp. Find a single stage blower and it will work with 10hp. But even those perform better with a bigger engine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1mor Project 90 #3 Posted November 15, 2023 I've got one of those off a 520. Everything lined up perfectly on my c-141. 14 HP is plenty to power the blower and my guess is 10 HP would be OK too. A two stage blower seems to use was less power than a single stage. The bad news is that blower is Heavy. The C-141 is an auto so no problem lifting, but steering with it raised is another story. My steering would skip teeth rather than turn if I wasn't moving. As blowers go it is fun to use and handles the deep snow with ease. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 41,812 #6 Posted November 15, 2023 List that big two stage in our for sale classifieds. It will only fit the XI. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gasaholic 286 #7 Posted November 16, 2023 OK I'll clean it up and check it over, make sure it is complete according to parts & OM's (found here obviously) and stick it in classifieds for the winter - If it doesn't sell, I can just take it down and sell off parts on eBay (probably make more off parts than I paid for the whole deal) Already got a few pieces ordered for the snow blade (missing blade angle lever, needs some repairs) so I'll have a plow for the winter - Im in no hurry as I have a Cub Cadet SC2400 with bucket loader (which I dislike for snow plowing, but..)

Or, get an xi tractor to fit on the blower, LOL One with power steering. 523xi is a diesel which would be nice and powerful for that big 2 stage 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
