Bumping this thread.
Full disclosure: I am in contact with a seller that has three implements for the TG1860 lawn tractor for sale. He sold the tractor itself, with a blown engine. He's offering me a package deal on all three implements. They are:
- TG2746A snow blower
- TG2001 snow blade
- RCK54-TG mower deck
All three are alleged to be in like-new condition, but a detailed description is not forthcoming, I'm gonna hafta go look, and he's about 2.5 hours from me. There may be missing mounting bits.
I absolutely cannot use the TG2746A snowblower, as it is belt-driven. Won't work on my G1800 tractor.
The TG2001 moldboard, cutting edge, springs, and tilt frame all have the same part numbers as the G2001 blade that I want for my G1800. But, it will probably not have the subframe mount, as I believe this was not used on the TG1860. What can I do with a partial blade setup? I need all the pieces. I'm not inclined to scratch-build the rest. But the stuff fits, and if it's in pristine condition, I should probably not pass on it.
The RCK54-TG mower deck is also belt driven, of course. I'm looking at this as a probable deck shell donor for my (gearbox driven) RC54-G20. Kinda hate to part it out, and I would not do that until I need the deck shell anyway. But, it's not an ideal deck for me, it's a compromise. I'm limited in how much I'm willing to pay for it, because I can only use part of it. And, I can't yet fully discount my chances of getting an opportunity on a good RC54-G20, down-the-road...So, I'm neutral on this potential purchase.
So, I'm inclined to let this offer go, without someone else's interest in the snowblower, at least.
It's $100 worth of fuel for me to go get it all.
I'm not looking to flip this stuff at a profit, I just don't want to buy stuff I can't use and for which there is (apparently) limited interest. If you have any interest, let me know. Soon.
Last Chance.

PS, I can guarantee you that this will be the cheapest snowblower you'll ever find.
