Snow blower

[John2189 445]

Hi, I’m kicking around the idea of putting a snow blower on my C-165   What blower will fit? And what would I need to mount it to be sure it has everything to mount it? What price range do they go for? 
im in ne Ohio 

thanks John

Assuming your c-165 has the original single cylinder Kohler engine you should have plenty of power to run even the larger of the snow blowers.

 

 

I only have one and I have not used it yet so I'll defer the information to other members here.

I seem to see a consensus that most people prefer the tall chute whether it's a single stage or two stage.  .. but that's mostly for control and distance.

Not sure what part of Ohio you are in I'm 30 miles west of Cleveland not in the snow belt but occasionally get a good 6 to 8 inches. I have a single stage on a C141 and it throws snow quite far with no problem. I have another tractor with a blade for the wet stuff we get from time to time.   I paid 100 for my blower that was in good shape that was Seven years ago or so I see they are going for about 150 now around here.

Thanks so this is the model that will fit my tractor.  What does it use for the hitch?  The same hitch that the mower deck uses?

[Racinbob 11,047]

It just hooks up to the front hitch and then there's a lift arm and flag that connects to the lift arm rock shaft. There are several models that will fit and are basically the same. If you find a tall chute there will be a part that connects to the mid hitch. It supports the chute direction rotator rod.

Look at several manuals. You'll find that you aren't limited to that exact model #.

If you find one post it here and we can tell you if it's go or no go.

Thanks

The parts list shows what is required and there are a few loose pieces for the lift when they are removed that often get forgotten and lost.

 

These will fit your tractor. That is what is so great about Wheel Horse.

Front quick hitch introduced in 1973. Snowthrower rear frame has a 5/8" diameter round bar.

So pretty much any blower will fit?

That's an awesome amount of information. Yes, they will all fit.

Follow the model numbers. The snowthrowers for tractors with vertical engine crankshafts can look the same to the untrained eye but not work.

All in the above list will fit and slight improvements are listed.
