JoeB 15 #1 Posted November 16, 2018 I just put my snowblower on a 312 I bought this summer. The manual and the previous owner say that connector to the lift should be in the highest or third hole in the lift arm. However when I put the connector in the third hold, I can't put a cotter pin to hold it in place. There is just no room to get to it. On the other hand I could put it in the second hole and was able to easily put the locking cotter pin. So is there a problem using the second hole rather than the third, the highest one? I've run it, and lifted it and it all seems to work well. The 312 has a hydraulic lift by the way. Any thoughts. Thanks. You know it is really a great pleasure to drive around on my wheel horse, but of course you all know that. best, joeb 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,932 #3 Posted November 16, 2018 The biggest thing with the holes is the torque available to lift the blower. It takes more lifting power in the 2 nd hole. but with hyd lift you don't notice it. You would with the Armstrong lift system. I tried the 2nd hole with the spring assist and it was a bear to lift but the correct hole was way easier. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
