grassworks 0 Posted December 7, 2007 I have a A/C 416H and a snow blower attachment. I would like to join the two however, it doesn't seem to fit. my snowthower att. is quite similar to the Simplicity 1690032 ( I found a picture on the net). Would antone have a picture or a diagram as to how the two come together? please help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhanDad 3,463 Posted December 7, 2007 To the best of my knowledge, the A/C 400 series tractors are like the Homelites that A/C built - the basic attachment is the same, but the hitches and sometimes the drive source are very different. I'm guessing you have a Simplicity style hitch on the 1690032 blower. The mounting ears should measure about 10 1/4". You'll need a A/C 400 series hitch to mount the snowblower head to the tractor. Hopefully a 400 series owner will confirm this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobT 0 Posted December 8, 2007 My 416H snowblower is driven from the electric clutch. I've attached photos of the adapter.

wilm169 1 Posted December 8, 2007 That is the right hitch for the 400. Mine just pins in the front holes and belts up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshuaareed 0 Posted December 8, 2007 I am just thinking out loud, but if the axle is in backwards the tabs will not line up. check and measure the tabs on both the front and back of the front axle, and then measure the snowblower hitch. Just an idea. Maybe mooseman3210 can chime in he has a 410 with a snowblower. I am sure he would snap some pics for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wilm169 1 Posted December 8, 2007 Mooseman3210 has the 300 hitch I think that goes back under the tractor and hangs from the frame brackets with 2 belts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mooseman3210 0 Posted December 9, 2007 No mine is a 400 series that hooks up to the front of the tractor my snow blower is the same as the pic above i have some pics here that show the hookup . all of my front attachments and the deck hook up in the front of the tractor but you have to have a front attachment for the deck to work the pic above looks just like my hook up but i have seen a multiple ways for these to be hooked up . on the 400 series . there was one one ebay last week with a long front attachment for a snow blower . but this is the standard one here . the first pic is for the deck it hooks in the same place that the plow and the blower fit . the width on this is 11/ 1/4 give or take a 1/4 for old age . but like said earlier there is multiple ones i have seen like this one . the picture is not very good but you can plainly see that the front piece sticks out a lot farther then mine does . if you look at the front it is out aprox 1 ft before the attachment hooks up. hope this helps ..

mooseman3210 0 Posted December 9, 2007 Also my Dad and i are restoring a 416 and it has the same attachment as the 400 does so hope that answers your Question that the 410 is different then the 416 the 300 series has the hook up behind the front tire on the frame as Josh and i have all ready talked about a couple of weeks ago because i was trying to hook up my new plow . hope this helps as well . mooseman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grassworks 0 Posted December 9, 2007 Thanks for the pics guys. The pics I received made alot of sense. The pulley cluster swivels up/down on my blower and it has two "c" shaped hooks that appear to hook on to the steering axle (perhaps) to firm up the cluster to the tractor. I love to send a picture but it seems I can't. thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wilm169 1 Posted December 9, 2007 The 400 and 300s do NOT hook to the axel like the 7000-7100 or the Bs. they just pin in the front holes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
