Mick14 Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 I just picked up a I-H blower,48in. thats really for a large cub cadet--anyway to adapt this to a Simp,or A/C ? If not ,any one have any idea of the value of one of these ? thanks
HubbardRA Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 I mounted a Sears snowblower in my AC716H. The Sears unit was set up for an engine with the crankshaft sitting crossways to the tractor. I also think Dutch put a Kubota blower on one of his tractors. Here is a picture of mine with the Sears blower, just taken today.

B-10 work ? Yes, it will work. However, the pulley ratio will have to be "right-on" to have an acceptable balance of speed and power. Many B-10 tractors use a 36". Some use a 42". The Simplicity snowthrowers have a 6" or 7" discharge chute. Here's another photo of the 48" Kubota with an 8" discharge chute on a 12hp tractor. Notice the difference in volume and distance the snow is thrown between the 18hp and 12hp? [img]http://www.simpletractors.com/images/do_it/snoblo-3.jpg[/img]
HubbardRA Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 Mick, The tractor in the picture I posted above, even though I said it was an AC 716H, only has a 10 Hp engine on it now. It will throw snow 20 feet in the air with the 36 inch blower. If I can find the pictures I will post one.
