snowblower question hb212

[ngale65]

so i have an hb212. was looking to get a snowblower for it. found a couple 3 belt models. anyone have any opinions or comments on what to get or what not to get or why. or if you live around indianapolis and want to sell one. any help would be appreciated. thanks

Three belts are hard to give away, and take some work to attach. If you find one for the B series it will have the clutch on the hitch and a rod to the seat to turn on and off. I do not know if a 212 will handle a 42" or not, but will do a 36". The main part is the hitch but the driven pully is also smaller.

The HB212 will handle a 42" blower with no problems (If the Briggs is in half way decent shape). You will want the one belt hitch, it works the best.

Yup, my experience is the 36" is best suited for the 10 horse machines, and the 42" works great on the 12+hp tractors.
