Simplicity snowblower RPM question

Depends on the pulleys. You would have to figure out the rpms. I think stock is a 5 inch and the blowers use a 7 inch? Wouldn't it run backwards though?

I am going to run it off the side pto like you would a 70's simplicity. It better not run it backwards as it runs like this correct? [IMG]http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww19/fedsigtbolt/Untitled-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww19/fedsigtbolt/2007128213143_belt1.jpg[/IMG]

Does the BGB turn the opposite direction on the older tractors, Are you mounting the blower in the front or rear? :) My 7117 runs off the BGB. Now of course the Pulleys are different but you could try a "Dutch" setup that he made a front snow blower run with 2 belts. 1 Went to a normal position for the deck and the another pulley with the "deck" pulley had the belt to go up to the blower. On Edit here is Dutch's http://www.simpletractors.com/do_it/snowthrower_hitch.htm
