I use a tower computer (and it's old Windows 7) as I have a pay as you go phone. Buy a new one every year from HSN and toss them when the minutes run out. Usually get a year out of them for $40.00-$60.00 as I don't carry the phone and only really call a few places and call my Parents. So I'm old school there.

Frank, yes to the Xtreme one. I booked marked that site a while ago, long before I joined here. IIRC that's how I found this web site. I was looking for a good PTO but cheaper alternative than a OEM replacement, and my Google search lead me here. My plans for the 2182 was to make it a dedicated snow thrower. I have had back surgery L4/L5 laminectomy and have another bulge right above the first rupture, so taking stuff on and off is getting very difficult for me, as I have so many health problems, and no insurance, but to get back on topic sorry about that. Just not sure about it yet, as the amount of snow here anymore is pretty scarce so? But the reason for this on the 2182 is the weight of the tractor (1137lb. from tractor data dot com) would make it perfect for that chore.
My 2182 is a 2nd year one as it serial starts 817 so that would make it from 91, which has the 4.5" PTO on it, which would require the 450 blower. So if I can get mine freed up, I have a sat outside used 450 to put on it. The only thing that I didn't get when I bought it, was the lift arm, as the guy forgot to take it off his tractor, which he had already sold, I bought the 450 anyway, got it cheap enough.
I then found a barely used 451, it looks brand new garage kept, no rust a few small scratches which has everything with it, manuals and both lift arms so wasn't really worried about the arm. So fast forward to A few days ago when I found the lift arm off a 1782 for sale on CL for $20.. so now I got everything for both blowers. If I can't get my PTO to work, I'll put the 451 on and get the 6"PTO which is cheaper than the 4.5"
Again. Thanks for all your help, Bryan
