Ed Kennell 36,034 #2 Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Looks like a nice easy project to me Bob. Move the left bearing up where it belongs and adjust the chain length and slot to fit. Cut the center bearing plate off at the housing and move it over to the left and up to the correct location to match the PTO. Of course you need to cut the jack shaft at the center and extend its length. Get a piece of pipe that has the correct ID to fit the OD of the shaft. Weld it together, Add a belt tension pulley and blow some snow. Edited February 7, 2015 by ekennell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #4 Posted February 7, 2015 There's not enough "meat" on the top rear corner of the left side plate to just move the jackshaft up to the garden tractor compatible location. You will have to add metal in that area. The mounting bracket can be modified, but is different than the garden tractor version. (straight & no hole for the tensioner assembly - might even be shorter?) The chain tensioner / idler sprocket arrangement it totally different too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was hoping for a more...bolt on conversion type of thing.... Thought maybe it was the same blower...just different hardware.....

squonk 39,123 #6 Posted February 7, 2015 If a knot head like me can convert a horizontal Allis-Chalmers blower to fit a vertical Toro/ Wheel Horse 210-H anything is possible! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
