I would guess that Murphy's Law will apply. If you spend the $500 then nothing will go wrong with your tractor but if you don't there will probably be a problem.

B7500HST bought new in 1994. It has just over 400 hours.

We ended up with about 6" of wet snow over the weekend. Not what I wanted, but we are still about 20" below average for the season.

Last year was the first year that I didn't have to use the snow blower on my B7500. I was hoping for the same luck this year, but it looks that idea will come to an end this weekend.

You might also try adding a fuel treatment such as Power Service to the fuel tank. I find that it helps my B7500 a lot in the winter.

I bought a 54" Meteor 3ph blower with my B7500. It has been working fine for almost 20 years. They are made by M. K. Martin in Canada but there are distributors and dealers in the US.

Also check that the PTO lever is in the fully off position.

Check ALL of the connections between the battery and the starter including the grounds.

Those skids you found are exactly what you need, but I agree that the price is high. I made myself a set for my blower about 15 years ago for around $40. Maybe a local welding shop could make something to fit your blower for a lot less.

Possibly one of the fuel injectors stuck wide open??

I have had a Pat's QH on my B7500 for several years. I bought a longer top link from TSC when I installed it. I have not had to make any changes to the PTO shafts on my attachments. The Pat's QH will fit almost any attachment without modifications. Other hitches severely limit the attachments...

I had something similar happen with my B7500 a few years ago. It ended up being a very small split in the fuel line between the fuel filter and injector pump which caused the injectors to draw air.

That sounds like there is something (crud) in the fuel tank which is restricting fuel flow when going down a hill.

I bought one of the Black Talon model 440 seats when they were on sale a couple of years ago. They are a comfortable seat and it seems to be holding up well. The price then was about $120 but now they are around $300.

You should probably be a bit careful about how much paint gets into the holes for the pivot pins. It could cause some problems when you get ready to re-assemble everything.
