WVHillbilly520H 10,373 #5 Posted January 6, 2021 If its a single stage unit they covered the width above, but techinally a snow "thrower" the 2 stage are "blowers" because of the impeller fan blowing the snow out the chute.. 2 versions Berco 38" or 40"? and then the TORO/WH 44". 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,036 #6 Posted January 7, 2021 I think you will find the 42" single-stage snowthrower started out as a 37" model. Snowthrower DNA 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Front quick hitch introduced in 1973. Snowthrower rear frame has a 5/8" diameter round bar. 1973-74 model 6-6212 plus 6-9113 1974 model 6-6213 - (First model to include 8-0221 extensions without the front straight return - just a flat plate) 1975 model 6-6214 - (First model to include 8-0221 [103552 replaced by 93-1617 and 93-1617-01] side extensions with the front straight return. First model to have a cable spool on chute rotating crank) 1976 model 6-6215 - This one - 1976 model 66-42ST01 - and this one are likely identical. The model number format changed. 1977 model 76-42ST01 - This one 1978 model 86-42ST01 - and this one 1979 model 96-42ST01 - and this one plus 1980 may be all the same. They started using a different model number for each model year. 1980 model 06-42ST01 - (Last 42" model to use 4 grooved rollers for the chute) 1981-82 model 06-42ST02 - (First model to use plastic collar for the chute but was a retrofit for older models. Last model to use wheels) 1983 model 06-42ST03 - (First model to use skids) 1984-87 model 06-42ST04 - (Last model to use a 3/4" diameter driveshaft) 1987-89 model 06-42ST05 - (First model to use a 7/8" diameter driveshaft) 1990 model 06-42ST06 - (Last model to use a cable to turn the chute) 1991-93 model 06-42ST07 - (First model with tall chute retained by 3 individual grooved retainers) 1993-2001 model 79360 - (2001 and earlier will fit 2002-2007 with kit 105-1503) 2002-2007 model 79362 The Ber-Vac 2-stage models were 38" and 46".

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,036 #8 Posted January 10, 2022 In 2002 they started to use an electric pto clutch so suspect the drive pulley diameter was different. The 105-1503 kit includes a driven pulley for the snowthrower so it must be to correct the shaft speed. Just noticed 1994 was the first year for the blower housing replaceable scraper bar.
