Toro Groundsmaster Snow Blower Attachment

[jrsavoie]

I'm still trying to find some detailed info on mounting the snow blower to my 325 D I've never found a manual or any instructions. About all I've seen are a few pictures. There was one for sale in Michigan, but I didn't have time to go look. Luckily we haven't had much snow this year and haven't needed it .

I did see reference to a 1quick attach once.

When I put mine on the front of my GM72 I have to unthread the ends on the arms of the tractor half a turn to change from side mount for deck to front mount for blower also it takes a different lift arm then the mower deck. Same drive shaft. I will look at what model I have , the blower came with the toro GM when new in 1979, I have all the manuals from Toro.

What is different about the lift arm?

Hard to tell there were two links there, so I added some space between them.

I can not get the files to open.

They are PDF files, when clicked on my computer they don't open, they download.

I will try them as attached files.

Edit: They still just download when clicked.

Yep They downloaded. But would not open. I went to downloads, clicked on them and it said something like down load will not open. I also clicked on open file in new window, no results that way either.

I am trying to buy a 150 in Michigan. That has all the mounting stuff with it and the window regulator to turn the spout. Time is very much at a premium. I've tried 3 times to get the cable right. And don't have a clue on how exactly it is supposed to be mounted. There is no place on the 150 to hook chains. I was just going to guess and take a stab at it.

I've had a lot of health issues the last several years and am getting nothing done. I'm not even keeping up with stuff as it needs repair. Golden years, my butt.

I am using Chrome and they open OK on my computer.

Do you have a driveshaft to fit the blower?

Does it take a special driveshaft to fit the blower?

I got a good thread on facebook

Don't know, no experience with snow blowers.
But I do know that there are different driveshafts for different mower decks.
