2305 FRONT QUICK HITCH

[stmftr]

I replaced my 445 with a 2305 this spring. I have a 47" snow blower for the 445 that I want to put on the 2305. I kept the front quick hitch hopeing that I can refab it to fit the 2305. I think that I need a few brackets from deere (LVA12256 LVB25396 and the short pto shaft that goes through the LVA12256 bracket) I am going to refab the 445 pto shaft to like labrat did his. Is their anyother brackets that I need? Does anyone have any pictures of the brackets installed?
Thanks
Brent

You might talk to the people in this thread. They must all have one for their front snow plow implement:

Good luck!

Stm,

I did a similar retrofit a couple years ago. I had the LVA bracket and made the LVB bracket. I half assumed the little PTO you're talking about was standard going through the LVA, but it not you're definitely gonna need it.

My setup is a little janky because there was some welding prior to when I got it, but it you mount the LVA to your tractor, the blower should mount to the LVB and the LVB to the LVA slick as can be, and you should be ready for winter with a quick hitch.

On my setup I do have to take the LVA off to attacht the loader. It's kind of a PITA, but it could be the way I made the LVA. Just a word of warning in case you run into that.
