Daniel2803 0 #1 Posted Wednesday at 09:15 PM I'm looking for a copy of an installation manual for a D-160 48" Snowblower. I have the parts manual, but that does little to help me install/remove this behemoth from my tractor. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel2803 0 #4 Posted Thursday at 12:09 AM Thank you for your "fuzzy" picture! Lol! My problem seems to be two-fold here. I don't have direct access to the upper pulley. My model ( a D-160), was produced in 1980, and those had the grill assemblies that were solid, granted they were grills, but bolted to the frame and part of the hood assembly as well. There was no front panel access. Additionally, does that front assembly where the tensioning spring for the snowblower gets mounted, it's bolted to the frame as well. I assume that gets unbolted so the mounting apparatus for the lawn mower can sit there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 18,566 #10 Posted Thursday at 12:26 PM You grill will come off yours is missing a couple knobs. Just put your fingers in the slots and lift up then pull the bottom out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel2803 0 #11 Posted Thursday at 12:44 PM No, it's not missing any knobs. The guy I bought it from, for whatever reason, decided to cover this area with a thick piece of luaun which I removed and will be filling those holes in my restoration of the tractor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
