quick hitch and mid pto for snowblower

Trevor - welcome to OTT.

I looked up the B2733a QH, and it's listed fitting several B-series, no BX. Hard to tell from the parts diagram if it could be made to fit, but it looks like it's a much different mounting set-up.

I'd suggest you look at a parts diagram of both QH's. Try Kubota Canada - if it works like the US one, enter your QH model and you should see info, model compatibility, etc.

As far as the mid-PTO, I believe the only difference is length of the shaft, and the shaft is easily removable. One is ~11", and the other is 16", or so.

I'd honestly be guessing as far as making the QH fit. Don't recall anyone doing it, but not to say someone hasn't done it.

The shaft is probably a change-out due to RPM (2-2,500 RPM), length, etc. not sure you'd get good results trying to shorten it.

That said, not sure the difference between the two, so I may be off - maybe it's diameter?

Here is a thread from a while ago, has some pictures of the mid-PTO and a BX2751 QH.

Sorry I haven’t been more helpful with the B-BX QH conversion, but again I don’t recall anyone doing it. For the $$, I’d be investigating too!

Just for shits & giggles, try finding operator and/or workshop manual (WSM) for both QH’s and mid-PTO’s at:

www.kubotabooks.com

Hell, look up manuals for the BX2750D also...

Maybe one will give you a clue as to difference of the mounting for the two QH’s, as well as difference of the two shafts.

Trust me, trying to help![emoji3]

I've found the illustrated parts list on Kubota.com to be helpful in finding the individual part numbers for the fixed length shaft and then using multiple searches to find desired info. With some persistence it's possible to find the details, but it does take some effort.
Follow this link for Kubota Illustrated: https://apps.kubotausa.com/illustrated-parts/

Most of the fixed length shafts are in the $200-$250 range:
Example: Part Number 70060-02338 $148.42

The following link may help to understand/demonstrate what is available in the illustrated parts list. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/371239-barter-kubota-mid-pto-kit-post4884825.html#post4884825

Take a look at post #5. I posted screenshots of the illustrated list. You might find the entire thread interesting as it is very similar to what you're trying to do.

Another helpful hint when searching the model is to use the wildcard option versus "starts with".


I've shortened a fixed length shaft and used it without issue for 8 years on my L3130 and 6' snowblower. Never noticed additional wobble, vibration, leaks or experience any other ill effects.

Good luck.

Whoops...

Maybe they use a VPN and it won't be an issue, or one of the Canadian member can post the correct link.
