rustyedge1 169 #1 Posted April 19, 2023 Need some advise.. This is for sale locally and the guy says it came with a 312H tractor but he knows nothing else about it or model tractors will fit, neither do I. I have a B80 417-8 and C145 and was wondering if this snow blower would fit any that I have. Also don't know if blower is complete or not. Any info appreciated. Photos are all I have of machine, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcrage 628 #2 Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) IF that snowblower was previously used on a 312-H it will be compatible with all 3 of your listed tractors. (I am assuming your B-80 is a horizontal shaft model). Not sure on all of the parts needed to make this work. Edited April 19, 2023 by dcrage 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'd appreciate the throwing torque of the larger engines MUCH more. For attachment there's a flag shaped piece that isn't in the pics. Be cautious of the value of that piece needs to be obtained separately. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,047 #4 Posted April 19, 2023 Well, yes as the others have said. If it worked on a 312 then it will work on yours but there's something different. What's the second rod running parallel to the chute rotator rod? A couple other things strike me odd as well. Maybe a pre attach-a-matic unit? It would probably be just fine but you should be aware. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,037 #5 Posted April 19, 2023 Most likely one of these All have 2 idler sprockets for the drive chain. Started out as 37" wide and the added wings make them 42" wide. 1966-67 model ST-376 1968 model 6-1211 1969 6-6211 plus 6-9111 1970-72 model 6-6212 plus 6-9112 All without front quick hitch so not a direct fit for 1973 and later tractors. Snowthrower rear frame mounts in the front of the tractor frame using 2 bushings and a long 3/8-16 x 8-1/2" bolt. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing the second rod tensioned the belt some way ?? As Garry noted , it bolts to the frame, doesn't use the attach-o-matic. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
