case530 1 #1 Posted December 15, 2011 Hi guys, like the new site. I need a little help. I have my 1056 tractor and have connected the 6-1211 snow thrower to it. It is a bear to lift. I understand there is a Lift assist spring that you can use to attach and help. Can anyone tell me what size spring, and show me how it is attached to the flag and where? I can make a tab for the flag or drill a whole or whatever. I just need to know what kind of spring to get and where to attach it exactly to help lift this monster. Also, if any of you guys knows the correct size belt to get for the snowthrower to my 1056, let me know. As I said above, snowthrower is 6-1211. I looked up the specs and it shows the belt, but gives no size. Thanks for any help Mike 216-402-5400 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

case530 1 #3 Posted December 16, 2011 Thanks for the link, that's just what we needed. Oh, do you know what size belt I need Thanks, Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #4 Posted December 16, 2011 The IPL shows the drive belt as being p/n 1576, which is 70" long by 1/2" wide. As much as I'd like to say that is definitely the correct belt, I can't - but I will say that's where I would start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
case530 1 #5 Posted December 19, 2011 Try here, I have springs if you need one. How much for your spring? I believe I need it. I live in Cleveland. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
case530 1 #6 Posted December 21, 2011 All right, got everythin on the Tractor and it looks great. But there's one small catch. That sucker still won't lift easy and it definitely won't lock in the up position. Am I missing something? Thinking about notching a cutout in the lift handle to allow it to lock much earlier. Is there a better way? Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #7 Posted December 21, 2011 In what arm & hole on the lift lever shaft did you attach the "flag"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
case530 1 #8 Posted December 21, 2011 the Flag is in the lowest hole. there's one small hole under it, but no way the tab will fit in there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
case530 1 #9 Posted December 21, 2011 It's not in the arm that raises the grass cutter, but the mechanism below it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #10 Posted December 21, 2011 The lift flag needs to be in the hole closest to the lever shaft on the arm that points downward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

case530 1 #12 Posted December 22, 2011 Thanks for that Diagrahm. That really helps. When I went down to the Tractor, I noticed the Rear Hitch lift cable was in the hole where the Diagrahm says the Flag for Snow Thrower should be. It was kind of bent too which tells me someone put it in the wrong place. I'm taking it out and putting Flag in there. Hopefully, this will allow it to lift and lock. I appreciate the help. Hoping it works. Cause I'd have to start working out more just to go snow throw. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
case530 1 #13 Posted December 27, 2011 Success!!!! Thanks guys, working great. Anyone know what type of cab will fit this 1056? You guys did so well, I figured I ask. Of the few companies that still make these cabs, the guys were very nice but don't think any of theirs will fit my machine. I was glad since they are pricey. Thoughts?
