I've been told there is a snow blade available new for the 417A, is that right?

I thought it was Wheelhorseman1000? (Lowell). Anyway I sent him an email about it and he didn't reply, so I thought you guys might know.

 

Is there a new snow blade that fits the 417A and if so where can I get it?

 

Thank you,

Virtually any blade for a long frame will mount right up. The only differences would be the angle adjustment lever but that's an easy fix. I believe what Lowell sells is the extension bracket for a 500 series that is needed for the swept forward front axle which the 417 doesn't need.

The latest model 79364 requires this kit to fit the older tractors but doubt it is absolutely necessary.

hi sir, as stated above any long frame plow blade should hook up no problem. i bought a brand new, in the box plow for my son-in-laws C160. the new cable style angle system is junk in my opinion. i easily converted it back to the time tested original wheelhorse coat hanger system.  why toro put a cable down there for winter snow/ice operations is beyond me. just my two cents. good luck mike in mass.
