B2550 Economy Snow Blower Issues

[SpoKorn]

I have a B2550 snow blower, the economy version. No hydraulics. The raise and lower of the front mount snow blower is linkage from the front to the rear pto. What I do not understand is how to hook up this to the pto lift arms. The manual does not have any picture just says hook it up. No help. Does anyone have one of these and can explain or better yet a picture of theirs hooked up? Just need info on the rear of the tractor. Thanks.

Try here for parts diagrams - I see sections for "lift mechanism". Maybe the diagrams will help:

Agree to the terms, then type in your B2550 model #.


I tried here to see if there are any Owners or Workshop Manuals...I did not see one for the blower, but I might have missed something. The B7100 Manuals might have something useful:

You may need to try to get an owners manual from Coleman, Messick's, or a local dealer. Someone here at OTT may be using a B2550.

Yes, I have the parts diagram and the manual but neither explain or show how to hook up to the tractor. I have not looked in my B7100 manual, good idea. I will try that.

First don't call them PTO arms, PTO means Power Take Off, it only has to do with the PTO shaft (part that spins).
The lift is called the three point, the arms and hydraulic do the work.
Do you have all of the subframe and parts in the pictures?

Do you have the lift plate and the lift rods?

Post a couple pictures of the lift plate and I should be able to point to what goes where.

If your having problems posting pictures, send me a PM or Email and I'll give you another way to get a hold of me, heck your close enough I could even come down.

All is well. I had a friend who has owed tractors most of his life and he figured it out in 30 minutes. The linkage was connected wrong but only slightly, made all the difference in the world. I can see now why Kubota does not offer the economy version now. Unable to have the back blade hooked up at the same time. Oh well. Thank you for your help!
