Hi,
Bought used rear loftnees blower off of graigs list.
Only problem is once I hooked it up,everything spinning backwards at rear pto.
Looks like someone reversed gear box maybe to mount on front?
Does any one know if their is a item that will connect to rear pto to reverse direction?
Or I'm I sol.and have to buy new gear box.
I own a 2001 kubota b2710.

If your Kubota is a grey market machine...might be the tractor that's a problem.
There are PTO reversers...do a Goggle search, but first I'd determine if you actually have a problem...is the auger actually running "away" from the pick up chute?

Main auger spinning out ,inner blade spinning down not up.
Pto at rear spinning clockwise.
They told me at loftnees inner blade should spin in same direction as pto.
And it is definitely not.
So the blower is just blowing snow out front and not out chute.

Since it's a CL purchase, I'm going to guess the seller or another previous owner replaced the gearbox for one reason or another. My guess is the original gearbox failed and the replacement used was for another type of implement...just a guess though.
So, it looks like you'll need another gearbox or a PTO reverser.

A replacement gearbox from Loftness for this snow clearer
will be the lesser of two evils as the reverser will require
more room to install it and mate it to the existing gearbox
and you would have to shorten the power take off shaft as well.

Thanks,that's probably the safest route.
Just more work!
