2 stage snow thrower interchangeability

Recommended Posts

WNYPCRepair

A guy locally is selling a Classic with a 42" 2 stage thrower. Does anyone know if it will fit a 95 520-H? I don't have any other info on the Classic, guy doesn't list year or model at all, I just see Classic on the hood

 

Sorry if this is a newbie question, but I have to learn somewhere, right?

I have that, but have no idea what year or model the Classic is.

Here's a 44" manual http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/files/file/2563-snowthrower-44in-1996-1998-2-stage-79361-om-3318-826pdf/

The only concern would be the swept front axle, and the OM doesn't show any special extensions for the 520.  I would say it'll fit just fine!

By any chance can you copy and paste a picture of it? When you say Classic I'm thinking it's like my 2005 which has Classic on the side. If that's the case the blower will work fine. The Classic is what Toro started calling them and they are identical to the 3-400 series. A picture would confirm it.

I'll just do this. Does it look like this 'Classic'? If so, you're good to go.

A little older than yours, I think.  :)

Yup, that one is a bit older but you're good to go. That blower will hook right up. One thing though. I've only used single stage blowers. Is that a 10 horse I'm seeing? You might wish you had more power to turn a 2 stage.

If it's really a 42 in. It is probably a single stage blower. If that is the case the blower will need the lift tube to be the one  with a slight bend in it to work on a 520h with swept axel. Now if it is a 2 stage it will fit a 520 just fine because the 2 stage was really designed for use on the 520. Something else just came to mind. Is the blower a Wheel Horse blower? If not then all advise just given is null and void. Because I have no experience with any other blowers and there for do not know what I am talking about. 

Am I reading the post wrong Racinbob, I took it he wanted to know if the blower off the classic would fit a 520?

I agree, that's why I want to see if it will work on a 520. 

 

I've been looking at a 520, and this blower will fit it, so I am hoping to grab both

​You're reading it right. It's me who got things backwards. :oops:
