Came across a B2551 snowblower that is currently set up for 3 pt hitch. I prefer using front mount and did a parts search and wow lots of different variations, anyone know if these parts are still available and pricing? This was originally part of a package deal that I asked about approximately a month ago, he just texted me he would be interested in selling separately. Thanks for any help, trying to figure how much it would cost to setup for front of my B7200.

It's not an easy or cheap conversion as the rear 3 point is setup for 540RPM and the front mount is set up for 2500 RPM.
So at the very least you'll need a gear box to lower the 2500RPM input back down to 540.
Then there is the mater of the drive electric clutch if D model and PTO drive shaft and hanger for HSD model.

Under that small cover on the back side of that blower might be a chain driven reducer.
Perhaps there is something similar that could be useful for the blower you have.
I am currently fitting a G series blower to my B7200., The costly "output shaft" with 1 inch 10 spline on both ends was ordered from my local dealer only a few hours ago. p/n 70060-02728. With a pair of bearings, cost is bumping up near $200. The rest will be fabricated from steel plate etc.
