I hate to dredge this thread up again, but since I'm the OP I think it's fine.

We finally had a decent snow that I could get this thing out and use it on. I did switch to a 5L400 belt and it fits better. BUT, I had multiple problems.

One is the dry powdery snow turned to a heavy rain just as I started clearing my driveway. So, I had jamming issues in the chute. I've had that problem before with wet heavy snow, it's a pain but explainable.

Next, for some stupid reason, the blower will not lower to the ground, it sits about 2" off the ground all the way down. Everything is working as far as the lift, the down stop thing is not even installed at all so there's nothing stopping the travel. I cannot comprehend why this thing has so many issues on my tractor, but I'm just going to end up selling it and going back to a self contained snow blower. I have been searching for years for a snowblower tractor combo to save my back but it's been nothing but a pain in the rear.

I'm going to post it for sale over in the for sale section. It'll fit a non-super tractor perfectly, or if you know how to get it on a Super then be my guest.
