MTD creeper gear

[CADplans]

Great job on the creeper drive!!

What is the snow blade originally off of??

Well said, CADplans! You have a great looking 86.

the plow has been adapted from a craftsman tractor
has a hommade bracket that attaches the same way the mule does
only thing is the lever works in reverse to raise and lower it
ive hd the plow for years and wanted it on something in case it ever snows so i made the bracket and the lift rodthe plow pivits on the bracket i made unlike the ih plows that have a hinge point

i found the spirol pins ay mt local hardware store... as well as the detent ball for the shifteri..(i dropped the one that came with it and never saw it again...)
the pins were very reasonable i thought at 1.69 for the 3/4 ones and1.99 for the 1 1/4 ones
here are a couple pics cause i know how u guys love the pics

How long did it take to convert this? Anything special required, or is it along the lines of...
1. remove old drive shaft.
2. Cut to fit (I'm told there's a score line).
3. Bolt in creeper box.
4. reinstall drive shaft.

the creeper install was as easy as it sounds u pound out 2 pins and take a cutoff wheel to the driveshaft at the score line
take 2 bolts out of tranny reduction box
i ran a tap in the other 2 holes to make sure there wasnt dirt in the threads
clean the housing good install the gear where the old driveshaft connected put 4 bolts on the creeper and 2 pins in the driveshaft
fill with oil and your done

if you have any mechanical ability you will think of it as plug and play

Anywhere. Maybe a scrap yard (most will sell to you, for a little more than scrap value), maybe along the road (with tractor), classified ads, craigslist, and of course fleabay.

The cost depends on what the seller wants and you're willing to pay. Of course, condition plays a role. In the end... buyer beware. Get lots of pictures if it's 'sight unseen' or even better- video showing the actual creeper box works and is not seized up/broken/etc.
