I just bought a new to me (front mount)47 snow blower with quick hitch. How do I mount the "box" part of the quick hitch to the tractor frame. Obviously I'm missing a mounting kit. Part number anyone? Also a pictures are worth a thousand words.

Lets start with the FRONT ATTACHING SUPPORT KIT... do you have either one of these attached to the frame of your tractor?

If you do, I would then recommend placing the PTO SHAFT inside the IMPLEMENT DRIVE AND UPSTOP.

Once the PTO SHAFT and the IMPLEMENT DRIVE AND UPSTOP are together, attach the IMPLEMENT DRIVE AND UPSTOP to the Front Attaching Support Kit. Once they are attached, then connect the PTO SHAFT to the MIDMOUNT PTO.

What is the difference between the two front attaching support kits? Advantage to one over the other? I had the right side one this morning. I coulndn't get it to work, so now I have the left side one. When I mocked the first one this morning up to the frame rail, it was too wide for the implement drive and upstop.

The one on the left (1 piece) is what I had on my 2320. It fits "inside" the frame of the tractor. The ones on the left are what I have on my 2520 now.
