Manual snowblower lift

[psk125]

Have gotten the mower deck off my TG1860 so the TG2746 snowblower can go on. Have found some diagrams (thank you Messick's and Coleman Equipment) that show the arrangement of the TG2739A quick hitch and can guess as to how it has to go under the tractor. There do not seem to be any manuals or diagrams showing how the lifting arm attaches to the blower or tractor however. No pertinent Youtube videos either. Can someone please explain or post a photo or drawing of this for me? Or tell me where to look? The lack of support from Kubota on this is quite frustrating.

I'm pretty sure that the ends of these arms (green) connect to the lift arms (yellow).
(EDIT) After looking at it closer I bet they line up where 270 pins would lock into the bars.
And the middle pins (blue) attach to the frame.

agree to the term and then search for the snow blower model number. You will get some illustrations of the parts that might answer your questions.

Your top drawing is one I found as well, so your guidance on what likely attaches where is helpful. There is also a separate handle - an L-shaped metal tube that seems supposed to be used to raise and lower the blower at the front end. It has a foot about 2' long that looks like it should connect to both sides of the quick hitch somewhere, and then a 3' arm that would logically reach up to where the driver could move it with his right hand. That is what is confusing and not showing up in any drawings.

Thanks for the link, but "no image available" is what comes up for any and all of the parts numbers -- including TG1860, the tractor itself. It's like Kubota was trying to disown it. Messick's has the drawings. Why doesn't Kubota?

Don't put anything else in

You can’t see pictures of the part on Kubota website. But you can see pictures of many actual parts on Messicks.

If you can’t see the illustration (as in post #2 above) of the assembly with numbers then that is a problem.

Tried that again using both Safari and Chrome for multiple part numbers. Same result: no image available, except for a small copy of the drawing of the tractor from the cover of the TG1860 manual. After reading threads on other sites am wondering if the L-shaped tube handle I have is for lifting the TG2746A, and the TG2746 that I have uses the same lever as the mower deck and not this other handle. Does anyone know? I have the manual for the TG2746 and it doesn't mention anything about lifting or lowering the snowblower except for putting on the belts.

what happens if you use the Messicks website? Can you get to this?

What part numbers are you trying to look up?

Messick's and Coleman Equipment Co sites both work. Am entering parts TG1860, TG2746, TG2748, TG2754, TG2739, TG2739A, TG2739Q on the Kubotapad site. Only one small drawing of the TG1860 tractor (not a diagram w/numbered parts) comes up.

There is the confusion, Those are not part numbers.
Part numbers are xxxxx-xxxxx
Those are model numbers.

Click on the arrow to the right (parts and it opens pull down menus)
Then click on the section you want to see the parts in.

THAT works. Thank you!
The TG2739A manual that I have talks about an additional lifting mechanism that must also be installed for the TG2746A snowblower. I will guess that this is the L-shaped tube/handle that I have but which will not be needed since I have the TG2746 snowblower. Will see what happens. It has now stopped snowing. Time to get the sap buckets out!

Thanks for your help @North Idaho Wolfman and @Russell King. Got the blower on and just need to run the belt. Hope the back lift lever works. Eight inches forecast for tomorrow!

You are welcome to!

Yea we has snow earlier this year! I just waited a few hours for it to melt! Texas has other issues but blowing snow is not one of the things we would even be able to do.

So you don't want your yard to look like this?

Sometimes it does- though we have more maples than pines.
