NC5_WheelHorse 2 #1 Posted January 6, 2024 Hey all, I am trying to install snowblower on my 856 for the 1st time. I can’t seem to figure out how to install the tube bar assembly to the lift rod the manual on line here does not have a very good picture. any have an idea or can help. Much appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 40,459 #2 Posted January 6, 2024 When I had a single stage, I found it easier to install the flag pin on the lift bar first. The pin goes in the top hole of the lower bar. Then lift the blower by hand and support it with blocks. Then slide the lift tube on the flag and on the lug of the blower. Now is the time to add washers to the flag rod if you need more lift. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 18,323 #6 Posted January 7, 2024 Since your 856 only has "Muscle" lift make sure you get a flag with the tab to hook up the assist spring... and get the spring. Your shoulder will thank you 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You probably just need to lengthen the push rod by installing some spacers on the flag rod. With the blower lowered is there a space between the edge of the flag and the end of the push rod? This is the amount of spacers you need. Edited January 10, 2024 by Ed Kennell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
