Snowblower for a 1077

Recommended Posts

Stepney

Hello, all. Found a snowblower pretty cheap on CL, guy says it fits the C series, and the 300 and 400 series. It's complete with the lift parts.. but I'm a bit rusty on WH it's been a little while. Could I mount this onto my old 1077? I know I'd have to fit a Tach a Matic in the front if memory serves?

You need all the brackets and such for that blower , which the 1077 should be able to handle . There was an obscure upgrade part to bolt on the front of your frame to use the later model front mule drive and your PT-6 clutch setup - it's pretty easy to make one if you are good with steel and some drill bits/grinder .

 

Here is the hitch needed for the front mule drive and other attachments -

Here is what it looks like installed -

You can also use the later model C series bracket for the front of the frame - it will require a slightly longer front axle pin (3/4" steel) which can be fabricated and it just bolts to the front of the frame , pretty easy mod .

Doing that mod allows the use of the newer style decks , blowers and all kinds of other stuff that wasn't available in '67 - but easily obtained today . I wish I could find the file for the upfitter kit , Wheel Horse made kits to adapt newer replacement decks and such to their older tractor models , unlike the other brands of the day .

Yeah, I'd had a chance to buy one of those bolt on mule drive setups last year, ah well.. Yeah I've got to keep an eye out, or maybe I'll just make one, I do work in a fabrication shop I suppose. Speaking of snowblowers, I just saw this one and noticed it because it's really inexpensive, but is there some kind of better model to watch out for just in case?

The two stage would be the best model , but it takes some serious horsepower to pull it properly and 10hp half worn out isn't going to cut it . A K-341 rebuilt might do the work , but they really need 18hp+ to pull correctly . I run an older model box type single stage , works fine albeit it's been beat to death and the housing needs fixed , another welding project for this summer ...
