Okay guys, call me dumb or what ever! Can't figure this out and want to do it right. Have a 782 and want to mount a 42" snow blade on her.
Have a 42" which was mounted to and worked on a 149. Dealer gave me a printout for a 316 Snowblade Mounting Package and says this is what I need. My blade subframe assembly fits okay, but only has one crossmember. Printout dealer gave me shows two crossmembers. Think the subframe is a narrow frame subframe which has been modified, because the front mounting pins are reversed from the printout (outboard instead of inboard). My lift bracket on the main frame assembly is different than the one in the printout. It has two angles to it, and does not come out far enough. Also does not have the Bar Lockout. The Bracket, Hydraulic Lift, 719-3093 in the print out, is different than what is on my 782, unless it is a adaptor attachs to the bracket on the tractor.
Anyway, the way I'm set up now the lift rod rubs on the tractor frame and bottom of engine cover. I don't mind modifying the the main frame assembly lift bracket, but I do want to have proper parts on the tractor hydro lift bracket. I can make up a lift rod.
Is the Bracket, Hydraulic Lift, 719-3093, a adaptor that fits on the lift bracket already on the tractor? Is the Bar, Lockout, 703-0671, neccessary, or can I just put the rod thru a 1/2" hole if I make up my own main frame assembly lift bracket?
Lot of typing to just ask 3 dumb questions. Hope one of you can help me out with what I need to do.
Thanks,
Pat
