Thrower installation 450 on a 1641

[bobferdon]

The have the manuals for my unit but it shows how to assemble it and not how to install it.

I need to install my 450 on my 1641. Is there a link or place to go where I can read the directions?

Thanks in advance...

Hey Bob,
Is this the manual you have.

I have that. I guess I can figure it out from there. My blower is already assembled and it looks more the the from scratch info. I was hoping for the crib notes.

Thanks

Bob,
The hardest part is getting the alignment onto the two large bolts protruding from the lower frame. The second challenge is getting the two bolts into the frame started.
I can't remember if the 1641 has nuts to accept bolts or if you need to get a nut behind the frame to attach it.

I've used a 4x4 under the frame of the blower to get it at about the right height, and then drive slowly into it.

It's not hard, but it does test your patience.

Once it's on, you can thread the belt around the PTO, through the two idlers on the blower and just roll it onto the blower geabox pulley.

Good luck.
Curt
