Snow Front Mount Snow Blower for 755

RWEST · Sep 23, 2005

My brother's looking for a front mounted snow blower for his 755. He's tired of looking over his shoulder using the 3-pt rear blower he has now, I guess. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif He told me the other day that the local J-D dealer told him there was no front mount blower available. Sounds a little fishy to me. Anyone know of anything that'll work?

When I had my 755 there was definately a blower for the front. Whether or not one can be located at a dealer is another story. So the used market or even the aftermarket may be his only choice.

Most common was the 47" front mount for the 755, although I bet the 59 would physically mount up. Try
machinefinder
and see if he can find one there,, and there's always ironweb and ebay .
Just make sure he is looking for one that came off the 55 series tractors, or the mounts won't be right.

RWEST,

Does the 755 have the mid-PTO? [Sorry, professing my complete ignorance of the 755] If it does, I would assume that the 47" blower JDFanatic refers to is similar, if not the same "Frontier" manufactured blower as mine (for the 4115). Following that possibillity, will the 755 take the same "Quich-Hitch" mount and attachment (pto pilot and hydraulics) as the current 47" blower lift/hitch? If so, you're brother is set. Just needs a fat wallet and a good J.D. Dealer who know his parts.

Although expensive, I doubt your brother would be dissapointed with the 47" blower, after driving forward this winter instead of backing up all winter.

Good luck,

Tom

All 55 series (755/855/955) were equiped with mid PTO's. I'm pretty sure the 755 front hitch is different than the 4xxx. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

The snowblowers we are talking about here are 2 different blowers, although still called "47 snowblowers". The blowers that go on the quick hitch as we know it today, for the X-series, 2210-4115 are different from the older blower on the 755. The quick hitch blowers are chain driven, and I believe the older 47's were gear driven. Also, the housing was a bit more stout, and much heavier. You could also find this design on the older garden tractors,, ie 400's and 420's.
I don't believe any of these blowers are manufactured by Frontier, and actually, Frontier doesn't build a single piece of equipment. Frontier is a marketing division for Deere that brings in outside shortline company equipment, painted green, and labeled Frontier. Ie: Woods and Befco mowers, Rotomec PHD's., Maschio tillers, Worksaver rear blades etc. I think the 46 , 47, and 59 blowers are all made by Deere still. I do think the 42" blowers for the L and LT series are made by AgroFab?
But, back to the 47 for the 755. That setup had a front frame mounted bracket that included the parts for the Mid PTO kit, and mounting parts for the snowblower and lift cylinder etc.
