Enjoyed your cab install immensely Jetman. Could not find a hard side cab for my JD 4110. After being spoiled by the wives 1100 RTV I decided I need a cab for the winter months of snow and cold in the mid west. I read Chims cab build and decided to get welding on my surplus steel. So far...

It's not that simple. I receive pleasure and cost savings by reinventing the wheel. I have a plan by using my 540 pto and a series of three shafts to increase speed to obtain 3000 rpm. I have a free blower housing, impeller, chute and bearings to start this venture. The project list just...

Yes sir... I hooked it up and it did spin the wrong direction. Looking at the chute for the exit snow it is pitched to the right ( standing behind it ) and this is the only direction it will work properly. I did drive to a kubota dealer and asked the parts person what gives with this...

If this is in fact true the previous owner must have bought a grey market tractor ( with the ccw pto ). It is strange he purchased a NEW replacement snowblower that works on the old tractor making the 2012 snow blower grey market ????????? He did not buy a gear reverser so I will visit him...

They are driving a front mount snow blower with the rear PTO and a drop shaft to the front. This will not work for my application because the rear is 540 rpm and the mid pto is 2100 rpm. I could drive mine from the rear with no problem but it would not turn the assembly fast enough.

As soon as I locate a reverse gear box I will show just how compatable they are.

Like I mentioned in a prior post. A JD gearbox, not including the fan or labor to make it is over $800.00. The fan is a real minor piece to the equation. Getting a proper gear box to operate the auger, fan and drive system free of vibration and lined up properly so the drive chain remains on...

Now were back to the old theory..... does a mid mounted mower work better or does it belong in front or rear ? Does a reverser know where it belongs ? If it is on a green tractor or blue ? Hay elevator or escavator ? Snow blowers are formed pieces of metal painted different colors with...

I saw the ad and assumed it was a package. If his PTO turns CCW the tractor will require his reverser. I would like to see a picture of the Kubota style gear box. I did contact Hub City and I was told they no longer built this item. Have no idea why. So I wrote them and asked. I have a...

Do all Kubota sub compacts pto's turn CCW ? One would think they would have a reverser as an option if someone wanted to use this blower on a higher hp tractor. I assume the 35+ hp machines turn clockwise. * Don't look at me... I am new to this mystery !

The same information applies to rock buckets. I bought a used 6' heavy duty rock bucket for my 55 hp New Holland. It works ok but the bucket itself is way too heavy consuming much of the lift capacity. I am going to sell it and build a light duty version that better suits my needs.

Have been in contact with them. It is rated for 24 hp but not the speed the mid PTO turns. I assume Leonard is contacting the company to see if the additional rpm is a huge factor in the longevity of the gear box. They sell for $425. so it isn't a " throw away " if it doesn't work properly.

No problem. I have been confused most of my life. I just never ran into this type of operation before. Well it brings out the thought process and I am sure we will eventually solve the mystery. Alot of knowledge in this forum and many of us will profit from it. Thanks to all that contributed...

Thanks Eddie for the info. That is why I am puzzeled with Eric's response that my blower is a grey market machine. I am sure other owners will validate your response. How to get it reversed may be the winter search project. Even if we find a reverser to change the direction are the gears in...

Any one that owns a BX 2750 snowblower....... Which way does your PTO turn.... clock or counter clock wise ? ( standing in back of the machine turning the PTO shaft. )
