HELP WITH SNOW BLADE

[Mike Sullivan 0]

I have my snow blade off of my old TORO 416 (1995?). I would like to mount it on my 520H (1990) but not sure where in mounts and I am sure I will have to apply some innovative rigging but would sure be appreciative of any advice. Thanks in advance.

You should have the swept-forward front axle so the plow frame needs to be longer so the blade clears the front tires.

Here is what did that. Click on the picture part of the link for more info.

Looks like you may need a rear tach-o-matic that mounts on the rear axle. I have seen them on ebay with a rear receiver hitch, as shown in the photo.  The middle of the plow frame attaches to the hydraulic lift bar. it looks like you may have the straight front axle, so you will not need the rear extension that moves the blade out away from the front tires. The last picture is what attaches to the rear axle. I took mine off to install the receiver hitch which also allows you to mount the blade.

mike , I agree with others on possible needed parts , the lower forward  " wear edge " on that blade looks like its due to be replaced . also the " pop off plugs " on the blade steering  quadrant are for lubrication access , use an aerosol first ,then a sticky grease on slide arc area , verify its easy swing, also lubricate your blade angle movement points , there should be zero rust on movement points . install 2,   1/8"  R type clips on the lower frame mount rear axel swing arms , to hold in place. I  prep mount my assembled plows on milk crates , then lubricate and verify smooth easy function , first before the quick swap to tractor . pete
