BX2750 Snowblower Shoes

[DustyRusty]

Which direction do the shoes get mounted? I have seen pictures of them pointing toward the rear of the tractor, and others, where the shoes are pointed forward, and are under the snowblower. What is the correct orientation? thanks

Consider the purpose of the shoes. They are intended to help keep the cutting edge of the blower above soft surfaces like unfrozen gravel or ground.

Think of them like skis. They need to support the weight of the blower and to do so need to be centered at the balance point.

Install them so when you are blowing snow, they are trying to ride up on top of the surface you are blowing.

Like this. The leading edge is bent up to allow it to ride up, and this way it is closer to the cutting edge... which is better. The closer to the cutting edge the better.
