Attachment fitments

[porky69]

My father in law has a b2400 with a B2660 snowblower (and a few other attachments) and he doesn't use the snowblower and a family friend has a B1550 that he would like a snowblower for, so the question is will the subframe and B2660 off of the B2400 fit on the B1550? Or would you have to do some modifications?

At the same time the owner of the B1550 has a belly mount mower he doesn't use (he bought a John Deere ZTR), would it fit on the B2400?

I would think it would be a lot easier to adapt the snowblower to the B1550 than it would be to adapt the mower to the B2400, unless they are factory fits.

I am unsure about the mower but the snow blower should be easily mounted on the rear of the tractor with the added three point parts.


You might get lucky with the mower and it could be towed with the tractor mounting it via the three point hitch with a little work.as you would only have to reverse the gearbox mount.

I don't believe the blower will be easy to mount on the 50 series. Perhaps with some modification to the subframe and driveline? Likewise, I don't expect the mower from the 50 series will mount up to the 2400. On the plus side..... it should be easy to find used mowers and such for the 2400 because it is largely the same tractor right up through the 7510 / 7610 which just finished production a few years ago.

If they wanted rear 3pt implements they would just go buy them or already have them. Both gents are getting on in years and don't want to be twisted around looking backwards to do everything.

Plus the mid PTO is like 2000rpm and the rear is 540rpm so that would not work for converting either to rear mount.

The B1550 and B2400 are different size tractors, from what I can determine, made almost a decade apart from each other, so it's kind of a long shot that the subframe for a front mount snowblower for one would also be a bolt-on match for the other. Anything is possible, of course, so some measurements need to be made, but I wouldn't expect them to match. That would leave you the option that a good metal fab shop could custom build a subframe for the other tractor. Still would leave you to figure out if the mid-pto's were the same, adjust the pto driveshaft length, and sort out raising/lowering, etc. In other words, it's going to be a lot of work! If you have time, money, and appropriate skill, it's probably possible, but don't promise it'll be done by next Tuesday!

It would probably be pretty much the same deal trying to swap a mower deck.

One of the nice things about rear-mounted 3pt attachments is the hookups are standardized. With other attachments, whether front mounted, mid mounted or with specialized rear mounts such as a subframe backhoe, there is no such standardization, because every tractor has its own frame and drivetrain layout, to which or around which everything must fit.
