My blower is just like the pic's you posted DH1. Does yours start running as you raise it up?

No it didn't the belt has a lot of slack in it, maybe your belt is 1 size too small???

There are 2 different snow blowers that have the drive belt go forward to the blower from the crank, very similar but the AGCO parts books show different drive belts for them.
1032843M1
1035690M1
What the difference is??? most likely length.

My blower attaches to a heavy bracket that bolts under the front of the frame to the front axle pivot bolt.
The other one attaches to a bracket that bolts to the front bumper.
Picture of my bracket.

I'm currently using the same type of MF 620 on my MF 12. I've had the issue you describe whenever I replace the drive belt. A new belt is tight and will engage when the thrower is lifted unless you adjust the "silver" metal arms to bring the upper portion of the thrower assembly closer to the tractor when it is off the ground. Shortening the length of the arms when in the up position should provide some slack.
