I've got a model 26 broom, a 59" blower, and a 47" blower that mount to the front hitch on a 755-855-955-4300, etc.

The 47" for this series is a completely different design than the 47 2-stage that the 455 is supposed to have.

I would like to be able to use my 26 broom and 47" blower on the front of my 455, I think I should be okay weight wise for the broom. Not sure about the blower.

Was there ever a factory front hitch for the 4x5 series that would do this, or am I going to need to fabricate something? I know the driveshaft will have to be offset to the left a little, but the u-joints should be able to handle it.
