lawn ranger snow blower

[littleredrider 408]

I recently purchased a 6-2211 snow blower for my ranger. Almost all the parts are the same for the ranger except a few. The mounting is different, not a big deal, idler pulley, wheels, are all small stuff that I can figure out. But I'm looking for the lift link, I thought I could use the one off a snow plow, but they are different. Part number is 5370 in the snow blower interchange.

Does anyone have the lift link that I could take some measurements?? I'm real close to getting the 13 horse in and have it fit under the hood, then need to get the blower on before too long. Snow will be here before yah know it!!!! :)

Littleredrider:

I just took a some pictures for you of the lift attachment piece that attaches to the lift flage and the lift handle on the Lawn Ranger for use using your snowthrower.

You will love messing with that snowthrower this winter! I had a lot of fun with it last year.

I have a 1967 Wheel Horse Lawn Ranger with a ST-324 and used this last winter about 10 or 12 times and it surprised me how well it worked.

It you check out my photo bucket photo albums you will find some more ST-324 photos and I have some videos using it last winter posted on you tube.

Here is a photo attched to the flag after removal from the tractor last year:

I believe this is the piece you are looking for although I do not have a manual with that part number you mentioned.

The width is 1 and 1/2 inches and 4 and 3/4 inches long. About 1/4 thick steel with two offset 3/8 holes as shown.

I hope this helps you.

Some, I hope, helpful Ranger snow blower pictures. You will have to make the wire belt guides, the one from the mower deck will not work. The 13 hp will make it really usable. I found her willing, but not really able to deal with appreciable snow. The first pass when you have to take a full swath is to much for her as she can't go slow enough. She is back to plow duty and hauling coal...tasks at which she excels.

Hmm, that's all that it is?? Can make that easy enough. I cut out a piece of 3/16 using a cutoff wheel and a grinder to make a motor plate so I can mount the 13 horse, so making this ought to be a snap.

Just need to make the mount and the idler pulley, and modify the control guide to match the mount.

When I get done with the 13 horse install, I'll snap some pics. These are great pics, will help a lot!!!!
