cwm1276 11 Posted November 2, 2005 Tom, I'll ask first What tractor is this snowblower on? The blower itself fits many tractors, depending on the hitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TOMT 0 Posted November 3, 2005 I'm putting the snow thrower on a Simplicity 3210V. Is there a mounting diagram?? Thanks in advance, Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishin2BMowin 0 Posted November 3, 2005 Lot's of luck...When I got my 3212H the blower it had no belt on it. Got a new one but it took me quite a while to get it on correctly. The thing twists and turns and if you don't get it on correctly the blower turns the wrong way! I suggest starting with a new belt and keep the old one for a spare cause blowers get clogged up with stuff and the belt sure takes a beating! Also make sure the front PTO pully set screw is tight where it goes on the engine shaft. Mine got loose while I was using it last Winter and it went rolling away in the snow! Must have been funny to watch me digging around in the snow to find it but I did! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TOMT 0 Posted November 3, 2005 Thanks alot !! Do you know the belt length & width?? Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishin2BMowin 0 Posted November 3, 2005 I think it's around 56 inches long and 1/2 wide if it's the same as my 3212H with a 42 inch blower? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TOMT 0 Posted November 3, 2005 Thanks again !! I'm going to attempt putting it on the tractor. Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RayS 79 Posted November 3, 2005 Read this post you can download a manual from Simplicity website. It`s the same blower as yours. http://simpletractors.com/club2/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=55307 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roma3112 0 Posted November 3, 2005 Fellas Just a bit off topic, but i am getting ready to mount my snowblower for the Boston snow season :( I had a brain fart and was wondering which hole the idler pulley goes into for the blower. I know there is 1 hole for the mower and 1 for the blower they are one ontop of another and right now I have the idler on the top hole; is this the correct one? thanks john Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RayS 79 Posted November 3, 2005 On my 917H the top one is going to the mower deck. The bottom must go to the blower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AC@deerfield 0 Posted November 6, 2005 lol ..... I had the same problem last winter .... placed the blower idler on the lower setting and took a digital picture of it !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goatfarmer 817 Posted November 8, 2005 If the 3212 is like my 2110,make sure you have the 2 fingers that go on each side of the drive pulley.They are belt guides,and it'll keep throwing the belt without them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MazdaManiac 0 Posted November 19, 2005 Again, a little off the topic, but what the heck. I've got a 36" blower for my 3210V, but I managed to smash the idler pulley. Thing is, for some reason the idler pulley I smushed is 5 1/2" in diameter compared to the 4 1/2" diameter pulley that is standard. I put the 4 1/2" pulley on my tractor, but even after adjusting it the belt slips. My Simplicity dealer can only find a cast iron pulley that is 5 1/2" in diamter for just over $30. Does anyone know of any place I could find a steel pulley? I'm thinking it might be cheaper to buy a new belt? Thanks, Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
