My tractor is a BX2350D. I bought a used BX2750C snow blower with a BX2751* quick hitch. This setup supposedly had been on a BX1850 tractor. The Quick hitch mounts up perfectly to the tractor, the blower mounts on the quick hitch and blower pto shaft connects to the 14 1/2" long quick hitch transfer shaft. Only problem is that the drive shaft from the tractor mid pto to quick hitch transfer shaft appears to be 6" too short. Are different length drive shafts available?

Be sure you are sitting down when they give you the price for that longer shaft!:eek:

Thanks Ed. I was just informed by Tractorland of the same (BX2350 wheel base 55.1 ", BX1850 52.8"). I bought the new shaft (p/n 7006002186) and unfortunately I was standing up - $521.

Anybody want to buy a drive shaft for a BX1850 to the front quick hitch (p/n 7006002752)?

Hooked it up when I got home and the blower seems to be working fine. Live & learn.
