Blower lift

[Trimman 0]

I just bought my first awesome Wheel Horse 520H with a 44" snow blower. The blower doesn't lift real high. How can I make it lift a little higher?

You can add washers or some type of bushing between the flag and the pipe to make it lift higher. Of course this will depend on what type of blower set up you have.

It doesn't need to lift very high to transport it. Mine lifts about 2-3" off the ground.

The adjustment for a 44" 2 stage is the metal plate with multiple location holes in it. The slot is at the bottom. The slot allows the blower to float with the terrain as it's moving so keep in mind he higher you make it lift, the less float down action it will have. 

Randy was referring to a single stage blower lift bar for washers. The 2 stage lift rod is much different.

Mine is the same. I have a 44” two stage on a 417-A. I’ve never really had the need to lift it higher, as long as it’s up a few inches for transport or backing up it has worked fine for me.

Most of the time I don't even lift it up when backing up while doing snow.

 Good luck with your new to. Any issues with it lots of pros here. Lot of good info here on deuces not to mention 520s.

I'll third that and when it is lifted it hangs to one side which I think they all do. I very seldom lift it when blowing just when heading to the barn.
