Pics of front mounts for 285 tractor with 42 SnowThro-200 snowthrower

[JohnBuffaloMN]

Hello - I'm seeking information on hooking up a 42 SnowThro-200 to a John Deere 285 tractor. I found a 42 SnowThro-200 on CL that works with this machine, but I was shorted some mounting stuff. Recently purchased mounting hardware from CL (some of which seen in picture) that works with the 42" snow thrower... but it appears not my 42" snow thrower/tractor. I believe it is for the newer belt driven one.

I've found a lot of clues including needing John Deere parts:

(1) Kit - BM19216
(2) bolts 03m7190
(2) bolts 19M7866
(6) washers 24M7053

I have the lift assist and know how to mount that. I've got the frame onto the posts and the belt on the drive pulleys, but am missing the front mounts. Wondering what else I'm missing.

If you have a 285 (320 and 265 are the same series tractor) with the 42 Snowthro-200 mounted would you be so kind to take a couple pictures of the implement mounted showing the frame and brackets?



Any assistance appreciated!

Sorry I can't help with the mounting, but it might help if you rotated the photos so that the top is up.

Sorry about photo rotation - don't know how to change them at this point.
