Wheelhorse newb 0 #1 Posted October 6 Hello inherited a mid 90s model 520h. Pretty nice shape. There’s a wheelhorse model 260 blower attachment available locally. Done a little bit of online search but not clear if this will fit my tractor or if I’m better off with something else. thanks tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For a single-stage blower you need one of these Front quick hitch introduced in 1973.

WHX?? 48,877 #4 Posted October 7 We've had guys before wanting to do this before and while we're sure it can be done with some cutting and fab work we came to the conclusion it would be better off looking for one better suited. for a horizontal shaft tractor. They are common and pop up quite abit in your area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheelhorse newb 0 #5 Posted October 7 Thanks both. Looks like some good options and you are correct, don’t want to fab where no fab is needed. It’s an interesting beast, especially the drive system. Belonged to my now elderly father in law. Attached a pic of it relatively new with him and my wife and two kids. He must have liked the deep dish mag look as he ran it without the rear hub caps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
