Trying to figure out how to hook up the snow blower to my 214. Just hang it on front of tractor and hook up belt? Will the deck handle raise and lower the blower without any other parts? Pics would be nice.
Thanks

You have to have the front lift linkage installed same as for a blade

the front lift rod - part number 9

front lift pivot - part number 12

lift link - part number 7

the lift link connects to the lift pivot and to the snow blower

 

also you the belt drive pulley - part number 10

 

a helper spring helps a lot - easier to lift the snow blower

Should have been with the blower.

Nope. The 214 and blower were given to me. Don't see those parts. Can't complain, guess I will have to check Ebay?

The 214 was in a small fire.

I'd say it was!

Check under the front grille, square hole thru frame on right side. The pivot will be there if it's attached. Take a pic or count the pullies on the other side of the engine to see if the front attachment drive pulley is there.

Didn't see anything in hole in front. But I think I have the pulley?

Is this the pulley for the blower attachment?
