1960 Suburban 400 Snow Plow blade

[BillyBob 0]

I recently purchased this 400 Suburban with a mower deck and snow blade. This blade was suppose to be for this Suburban, however, if you look at the picture, you will notice that the mounting bracket and the holes in the frame do not match up. Otherwise it looks good. I was told that the bracket may be for a RJ and that is the issue??

Can someone please provide me with some definitive ideas on what I have and what I need to do. Or, if you have the correct adapter/mount so that this blade will work on the 400 without modification, I would be interested in purchasing it. Please advise.

Thanks

Bob

You can get a parts breakdown of your blade from Toro that shows the mounting bracket. Go to: https://lookup3.toro.com/partdex/index.cfm?xCaller=Toro

Enter BD-4261 as the model number

:thumbs: That is the same style setup I won from a guy on e-bay, and never received it from him. On the post I had going, they said the RJ bracket would work on the Suburban's and the RJ's but the Suburban brackets would only work on the Suburban's, If I remember correctly.

Here's a pretty good view of a "real" 400/550/401/551 bracket:

It shouldn't be hard to whip one up. :notworthy:

Jeff (Fireman) gave me a snow plow at the last meet & greet and it has the same bracket as BillyBob's. What tractor are these brackets for? I also have the bracket as shown in TT's post on a 401.

Hey BillyBob, here is a link that answered a lot of questions for me, along with a picture of the setup you asked me about in the PM.

Hope this helps, if you find out something please let me know. :notworthy:

To use the RJ bracket you run a bolt (I believe it's a 3/8 x 7 bolt) through the holes in the bracket ABOVE the frame of the Suburban. The bracket "hangs" over the top of the frame.

Now that makes since to me, looking at the way his is set up. Never actually got to try to put mine on.
