Think SNOW! 451 blower
 

Hot enough for you? I began working on the 451 snowblower I picked up with the 1440 which I peddled. The blower will need the 529 brackets to fit on my 2284. I discovered the belt tension bracket pieces were missing. A wanted add here and Master Lew came through for me. I began instalation of the tension brackets when I found the bearing in one of the idler pulleys was toast. I put the tensioner bracket on and discovered the lift arm/brackets were pinned in the wrong holes. I can see this project will take a while.

Oh, does the bottom of the blower look bent in the last picture? Where the lower black bracket bolts on? Not the best pic of it but if you follow the yellow edge you can see it dip near both the bolts in the black bracket. Guess the blower is not as nice as I thought it was. :bash2:

Hot weather sucks. Now is the time to work on it though, instead of when it's 5 below, there is a foot of snow that's gotta be moved by like yesterday, and things are broke. :beerchug:

Got that right! Picked up some bolts for it tonight after work. Need to get the 529 brackets from Xtreme. And an idler pulley. Should check the tension side idler too.:bigthink:
