Snow snow thrower compatibility

[johndeereuser]

I had a John Deere 4100 with a 47" snow thrower model MP34908 using the quik tatch setup. My 4100 mower also had a 60" deck and I was able to switch between the mower and blower with out using any tools. I recently purchased a 2016 2032r which has a 62" drive over deck. I am trying to figure out what I will need to be able to mount the thrower to my new tractor. When I look online through the parts store and other various places they all give different information with different parts listed. The Deere salesman told me the only thing I would need is a longer PTO shaft. I tried to use the mounting bracket that was on my tractor which the mower arm attaches too and the bracket for the quik hitch, but the holes don't seem to line up. That part that doesn't line up is AM134116.

I need help figuring out what I will need.

If your salesman doesnt know what you need, have him go to the next higher up person. I have a 47 inch snowblower that I bought with my 1995 445 garden tractor. It took my salesman a week to figure out what brackets and driveshaft I needed to use it on my 2025R (I also have the 62D drive over deck). If your dealer cant help you, go to another.

There is a JD page that lists all the parts for each compatible tractor, but it is not easy to navigate.

Skip the salesperson and talk to parts, at least at my local JD dealer the parts guys know their stuff..

The quick hitches may be slightly different as they are two different series tractors. Wheel base also different which accounts for the length of the drive shaft being different. Buying the correct parts will not be cheap. I love a challenge and would fabricate mounts to make them compatible. I made a drive shaft from a 59" blower to fit a 4110 series. I read the longer shaft was $325.00. Green definitely costs.
