So could that one work and I just run the belt to the pulley on my engine?

IMO you'd need a front PTO, either mechanical or electric to be safe (turn blower off & on independent of engine).  Some have just mounted a drive pulley on the engine crank shaft and go with "direct drive" - when the engine's turning, so is the blower.  I don't think it's a good idea.

As to the "other" snowblower, the orange one, it appears to be a 36" unit and not in anywhere near the shape of the black one.  36" units work OK (I used one for years); the only issue is the blower is the same width as the tractor.  In deep snow, backing up after the first pass can be a challenge: best to not blow more than a tractor length or so until the cleared area is widened up.

Winter is almost over and I still can't get my hands on a plow for my 7112. If someone knows of a plow and bracket that are for sale could you send me a message.
