Need PTO expertise-mount blower on front

[Reg]

I may become entangled in a front blower project.
Can you give me the manufacturer name of the rear-to-front assembly ?
I am GUESSING that these are a common part that different manufacturers buy, don't make.

I'll see if I can find the name on it but it may be where I can't see it now. It was commercially built in Canada but would be very simple to build. If you look at the photo in my first post, you can see that it's just 2 pieces of channel about 3 ft long, spaced apart and welded to the vertical frame in front that holds the sprockets. A shaft from the pto runs through the channel and has a sprocket on the end, that drives the chain that runs up top to an idler sprocket, then across the top to another idler sprocket, then down around the back side of the front drive sprocket and then back to the main pto drive sprocket. This one was originally built to be mounted on the rear of the tractor but worked better for my application by mounting it in the front.

That reverser was built by Bervac which is now Rad technologies in Drummondville Que.
I don't believe they are being produced any more.

(I was the person that sold the unit to Smiley!, so I know! LOL)
Hi Smiley, you got all our snow this winter, we are skiing on grass, LOL.

Hi Piloon,
Actually we have only about a foot on the ground. Most of it went south and east of us but winter isn't over. My Sister in law in Laval had about 1 1/2 ft when we were up there about a month ago.
The only time I had the tractor out, I let about a foot build up in the driveway and it worked well until I decided to crowd it a little harder. Shifted up a gear and went into the 18" bank the plow had kicked up and sheared the 1/4 " soft bolt I used as a shear pin. Replaced that with a grade 5 but haven't had enough snow to bother to take it out. I'll see if that works and if it shears to soon, probably step up to 5/16.
