YM146
I've just acquired a YM146, only 214 hours. It included a 60" deck which has never been used or attached and a snow blower attachment.
I really need to get a manual and if anyone can walk me through attaching the mower deck or point me to a resource on how to attach it.

:welcome: to the forum. Nice setup. Depending on where Franklin is in Ohio, that front-mount snowblower could be really useful in the winter.

Welcome to the forum and being as our weather is pretty much the same as yours, I hope you never have to use that snowblower!

Franklin is between Cincinnati and Dayton, we typically don't get a lot of snow, but enough to stop the cars from getting out of our 400' driveway!

Might try this
Thanks for the pointer!

Thanks all for the pointers. Now I'm wondering if I have a YCM 60 or YCM 60A deck, seems there are two and the belts are different. I ordered a manual from TPC, hoping it can help me determine how to check so I can order replacement parts. There are no markings on the deck I can find although I haven't taken off the cover yet.

If you can't find out which deck you have. Take a string and run it though the pulleys. That's what I had to do on mine after I wore out and broke the belt. I have the Org. Owners Manuel but it doesn't list a belt size just a # which using the #156 would end up being 12' long LOL. and it's a 5' deck. Take the measurement to a auto parts store, I used NAPA. and give them your measurement to match a belt to. The NAPA Belt has lasted over 5 Yrs.

Good thought, however I don't know the routing of the belt! I just got it home last night, and plan to take a look at it this afternoon after I remove the snow blower. I'm hoping it's obvious.

Yep! Maybe you have it and don't know it and being the same belt the blower may use etc.. I don't think it going to be much of an issue once you get the deck attached.
