BX2750D on BX1850 Mid PTO Shaft Size

[MW3Designs]

We recently switched out a BX2750D Snowblower from a BX2370 to a BX1850. Everything mounted up perfect except the Mid PTO shaft. The shaft from the 2370 seems to be just a bit too long to work properly on the BX1850. We were able to get it to fit by moving the quick hitch shaft forward, but i don’t believe there isn’t much clearance to run it properly. Is there a different shaft that will work on the 1850 with the BX2750D snowblower? I have listed the model numbers I am using below for reference:

Tractor
Model: BX1850TV54

Blower
Model: BX2750D

Quick Hitch
Model: BX2751

Mid PTO shaft that was used on the BX2370 is marked: 07061, but I don't think thats a part number.

I think there's a third part number you need, that of the actual mid-shaft itself. I will try to find it in my manual.

As I recall, there was a number for the BX series, and another for the B series.

Seems like BX was ~11", and B was maybe 17". I don't recall lengths that varied by BX models.

I will look and follow up.

Here's what I got from the manual...

Following further:

I have a BX2360.

I tagged mine as a BX2753 at 14 3/8" long.

(Unfortunately mine is all mounted up and blew 36" of snow last week, so I'm not taking it apart to measure the shaft length..... )

There is a shorter 11 1/2" version.

The BX18xx tractors are a little shorter/narrower than the BX23xx or BX26xx tractors, I'm wondering if the BX2752 kit is what you need.

The subframe is the same. The bearing holders are mounted differently, but I think just the shaft itself is the only difference.

I would investigate the part# more, not by way of my 8 year old manual, but by way of the CURRENT part numbers given by Kubota Tractor Corporation - Illustrated Parts List (kubotausa.com) , Parts for Tractors & Equipment (messicks.com) or Coleman Equipment - Kansas City Construction Equipment Dealership

Here's same situation a while back:

Is Bx 2752 required for BX 2750D on a BX1850?

Good morning Gents I recently read that the BX 2751 and 2752 are required in order to mount the 2750D on my BX1850. I have attached a picture of my mounting bracket on the front and it almost looks like it will work with the two pins on the BX2751 quick hitch. Im looking to find out if I will...

Thanks for all the info. I needed the shorter output shaft, and found it on eBay not far from me. It showed up today and I swapped it out. Everything fits perfectly now. Dealers wanted to sell me a whole driveline kit, $750 and the other guy $675, and all I needed was the one shaft.
