Yep that's what I need along with a belt guard

 

 

A belt what?

I don't think anything of mine has a guard.

I just got the lift hooked up and it seems to work right.

 

Here is how I hooked it up.

So it does not involve the lift rod? And did you remove the lift chain? Also it seems I'm misssing the part to attach the lift assist springs to the blower.

This is how I attached the lift assist springs. I fabricated the upper attachment point with a large bolt and mounted it in the front attachamatic where the mule drive goes check out this thread:

 

It uses the same lift lever as the mower deck uses. The lift chain is still used.

Okay, so I have the lift springs figured out. But after googling it and reading through all the threads you posted, cafoose I'm still having trouble hooking up the the lift arm. Also is 12 horse power even enough to run a two stage blower?

The lift chain is not needed but does not need to be removed. I just looked at the pictures again. Here is a diagram of attaching implements to the lift arm:

So there should be a second connection point. Hmmm I'll have to look at that again. So should my little 312 have enough hp to power the two stage blower?

I have never used a 12 hp with a two stage blower myself so I'm not sure how it will work. Click this link and type in "12 hp two stage" in the search box and look at the results I think that should answer your question.

I looked that up and there wasn't anything helpful. Please pm me if you own one of these! I have a lot of questions!

Hey just so you know the belt which fits a 314-8 and others is a Jason B62 belt. Just fyi for bervac owners.
