Which model snowblower fits a JD 420 ?

[joes_427_vette]

There is a snow blower advertised in an area shopper for a JD 420 with a sub frame, weight box, chains, and a hard cab for $500. He didn't know the model number and it is described in excellent condition. Could this be adapted to fit a 4110 ? It is about 75 miles away, thought I would check before making the trip. I think he said it was 47".

That old snowblower sounds like the big heavy monster
which is different than the quick hitch snowblower of today.
The mounting is completely different, but I can't say that
you couldn't make it work. I believe that blower also
has a gearbox drive vs. the chain drive on the quick hitch
blowers.
They were heavy, and used on the 318's, and the older 400 series tractors. Required a large amount of rear ballast also.

Now, I once made that style of snowblower fit up to a JD 4310, and for those that think their tractors are narrow, boy
was this an odd deal. But, the munincipality that bought it did not want the 4115 tractor to replace their 855, and they could not use a 59" snowblower on their sidewalks. With the AG tires, on that 4310, I think we had it narrowed to 53", which was acceptable. Then we mounted this heavy duty style of 47" blower on the same hitch setup as the 59 blower used.
I think with some modification , you may be able to adapt something like that to your 4110, but it won't fit a quick hitch.

Thanks for the info..... I know he said it was driven by pto shaft from the front pto. At this point I knew it wasn't the same style as the 47 I had on the 455. I would have liked to have kept it but the deal they made me was unbelievable as a package. No big rush, I will keep an ear to the ground.
