Sorry it has taken me so long to reply, I had to find the camera and get some pics. Also I was getting more acquainted with how the snowblower would work, fortunately we have plenty of snow right now to work out the kinks. Anyway, here are three photos. One with the unit on the tractor. Another with a close up of the connecting point, but the lift arm unconnected. The third is what a link bar would look like attached to the lift that raises the plow if it did attach to the hydraulics. (clear as mud?) Anyway, maybe if I sent these pictures to xtrememotorworks it would make perfect sense to them. I just wanted to use the onboard hydraulics. The connecting rod in the picture can't be used because the other end is welded to some goofy modification that came with the blower. I don't imagine a length of chain would work? or I could find another rod.
Now I need to get some weight on this tractor too since it is much to light in the back now.
Additionally, I thought it would be helpful for any other 1641 owners to know these old blowers work with these tractors. All I changed was the pulley belt to a 38" one. I couldn't find anything on the internet showing their compatibility, and the guy who sold it to me said "sure it'll fit no problem". Well, I took him at his word and it actually worked out. Thanks for any help again...
