Need help w/ #451 snowblower

[cub99]

I bought a used #451 snowblower to attach to my 1863 tractor. It looks pretty rough due to sitting out, but everything turns freely by hand. My problem is I did not get the attachment arm to hook up to the hydraulic post on the right side of the tractor. Does anybody have one? Cub wants $100 for a new one (ouch!). Anybody willing to send me a good picture and some dimensions of one. One last thing, I should probably changed the fluid in the gear box, what kind does it take? I have attached the cub cadet picture, arm is #32. Thanks for any help!

That is a nasty part with a price like that! Worst part of it is they do break. You can still get them so that is a plus and after you see one you might be able to make it better. For the gear box I believe that takes grease.

Bit the bullet today and just ordered the correct one from my local dealer. The arm, tension spring for the belt and the 3 little plastic pieces to hold the chute on was over $130. O'well, winter's coming that for sure!
