Purchased this Snow Blower

[floor-it 11]

Purchased this 42" Snow Blower this past week. Paid $150 on Craigs List for the unit. I have been using a 48" plow for 26 years now, but always wanted a blower for the deep snow that piles up along my 90 foot drive way.

All is in working order except the unit needs a lift bar.

I don' t have the model number because the tag is gone, and would like to determine the dimensions of the correct lift bar and flag.

All the information you should need is HERE.

Try one of these for a model number:

66-42ST01

76-42ST01

86-42ST01

96-42ST01

If I were to find a blower, is there a special model to fit my 1057? Is there many different ones like the plow blades? Becuse I'm looking for one also since we got the deep snow.

The original thrower for that style of tractor (no front Attach-Matic hitch) would have been the ST-376 or the 6-1211. These throwers had a mounting frame that slid back over the tractor frame and was secured by a long bolt that passed through from one side to the other.

The biggest downfall to running a thrower on a three speed tractor is the inability to travel slow enough to keep from over-feeding the thrower. There are ways around it (changing pulley sizes for slower ground speed) but a hydro or a 6/8 speed with low range is more suited to snow blowing. "Riding the clutch" only results in worn drive belts.

If you can find (or fabricate) an Attach-Matic style Front hitchfor your 1057, then the majority of the throwers for the C/300/400/500 series tractors could be used.

Thanks very much Terry! I had already read the post that you sent me earlier today. I really needed to view the drawings to verify what Lift Tube and Lift Rod Assy was used. It appears that 76-42ST01 or 86-42ST01 both use the same lift rod and tube.

I will also measure the needed length, and compare to the measurements in the post above started by Dave85zxt.
