Took the 451 blower off the 2072 last night only to fin that when i removed the drive belt the front PTO has the bearing going out of it. Now I'm not sure what to do as I use the front PTO for two things. Running the 451 and a 60" haban deck. So I'm at the cross roads do I put in the newer 6" PTO so that I spin my blower at the proper speed, which is cheaper than the OEM one. Or do I spend the money to keep it OEM and still spin the blower slower, which works but not as good. I guess I just dont know if I put the larger one on would I need to change the pulleys on the Haban deck? Or would spinning it faster do a better job with out harming my deck?
