450 snow blower
 

hello i have a cub cadet 782.just bought a 450 blower.do i need the lift arm extension ?the blower was on a super. do i need also to take off the extension brackets?does any one have pics of the correct setup for me?i have a plow mounted now and the lift rod is above the foot pedal. will my blower be at the same mount above the foot pedal or below the foot pedal with the lift arm extension? thanks for the help

This is the best pic I have of a 450 on my 1811 from the lift side. Has the lift arm extension from Xtreme and a home-made lift rod.

Here are a few pics of how my 450 was on a 1811 you do need the part that allows it to push from below the fender pan rather than pull from above.I don't know for sure but because it was on a Super I would think it may not lift very high on a 782.I'm sure someone with better pics and/or part numbers will chime in.

If it was on a SGT, it will have some extension pieces on the front mount that will have to be removed so it will work on your GT. Look in the parts book, it shows them. :beerchug:

You will also need shorter lift links as the super ones are longer.

Oh ya, I forgot about that. I believe that you could drill a new hole in the longer ones and be ok. :bigthink:

Guys, pretty sure on the 450 blower you just add the extra brackets for use on a SGT. No other parts change. Parts book shows only one part number for the lifting links. I think your thinking of the 451....

J-Mech I am pretty sure the only difference between the 450/451 is the ratio of the gearbox.

No, I'm pretty sure they have different lift arms. Parts book shows they do. Different length, and different part number. I agree the gearbox is different. :beerchug:

The 450 manual says to use the top hole for SGT and the slotted hole for GT. I have seen some without the top hole though. Example in this thread (EDIT: And the above part explosion Jon posted): http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...9&postcount=25
