If we are talking about getting the Blower bracket mounted to the tractor, I found an easy way to do that was to disconnect the springs that support the blower, that allowed me to install the belt support the bracket, pivoting it to install all the bolts. Having the bracket securely fastened to the tractor I could not lift the blower to reattach the springs, then connect the rod to the handle to raise and lower the blower.
Now I have a question: I went to replace the drive belt on my CW 36 snowblower, it is mounted on a 1967 model 72. the belt had a chunk missing so I did not want to risk it breaking in the middle plowing my driveway; it looked like a 28" x 1/4" belt but I figured I would let the pros look up the size; they said I needed a 28 x 3/8 belt, which I bought and attempted to install, it was too small. I exchanged it for a 29 x 3/8; which was too big. I called the pro back and he told me a 28 x 3/8 is the correct belt.... any thought or experiences on this would be much appreciated
