I had a bad run in with a chunk of ice with my plow tractor, and managed to bend the frame on it. I picked up a 48" snowblower attachment for my other tractor, but I have been completely unsuccessful finding a manual for it, or even a pic of one installed. The model number is 842.24256. I have tried searching that and have found parts diagrams at Sears, but even an appeal over at MTF has turned up nothing. Does anyone have anything on the attachment?

 

Let me check with my neighbor Jared...that # seems familiar to what he has..I've ordered belts for him.
I'll get back to you around noon.

I do know that Sears is calling that manual "No longer available".

I did find this but the is a "1" on the end. The only 46"ers I see

I did a search on that part number, and came back to another thread on MTF with some installation details for it, and it is basically the same snowblower, exactly the same at the mounting end of it. Thanks.

 

My neighbors is the same..has the 1 at the end

 

hey Carl, is that the snow thrower you use to pelt the neighbors with "sassy mines"??

 

No..I use my MTD

 

looks like the same blower i have attached to my 67 sears tractor.

 

I have been given a .pdf copy of the manual, if anyone wants/needs one, pm me an e-mail address and I'll get it out to you. This is for the 842.242561 model, but it's close enough to the 842.24256 model to work for it.

 

Here it is almost all mounted up:


Here's the other thing that's been occupying my time this winter as well:

Not shown is my 76 SnoJet SST, since it is retired behind the shed with a broken piston. The JD in the foreground is annoying me right now, since it keeps dropping a cylinder. I have put far more into that sled than I should have at this point.

 

The blower is different than my neighbors, no lift handle on the right(as you sit)

 

The bar at the rear of the frame just in front of the tire is the lift handle. The handle actually comes off of it.

 

I see it now..never saw 1 like it before
