equipment changeover

[Dale1995]

I have a 2320 John Deere with a 54 " front mounted blower. I am wondering if i just remove the blower and quick attach bracket, will I be able to leave the drive shaft connected that drives the snow blower and attach my front end loader? Will anything be in the way.... I have never tried to do this, and am wondering if some of you out there have done this.

Even if it's not in the way - will the drive shaft well protected from mud, stumps & the occaisional rock?

Is there a quick-attach on that drive shaft at the front end? Or do you have to bolt it in place?

Seems removing it would be the safest for the summer until the snow flies again.
