FWIW: The front mount snow blower for the B2400 (made for Kubota) does NOT use a reverser. It is directly coupled to the mid-mount PTO which spins at about 2500 RPM. There is a 3:1 chain driven reduction sprocket on the blower.
The blower unit does NOT require the use of the FEL hydraulic valve. But it's nice to have. The hydraulic valve is used to raise and lower the blower. But if you don't have that valve, you can raise and lower the unit with the 3PT hitch kit.

I'm not exactly sure about all its pieces but it allows the 3PT arms to be used to lift the front mounted snowblower. I don't have it but some of the parts that came with my B2660 blower are for it and the instructions mention its installation. I've seen it work at a dealer long ago. If you use this method, then you cannot have an implement on the 3pt because you'll drop the implement each time you lower the blower.
Any good luck with the broken case? How are the manuals working for you?
