Bought a used GR2707 snow blower for my GR2120, came with most of the parts except for the rotation handle parts, loaded those into cart and realized also need a hose to go with it but per parts diagram there are TWO hoses? So apologies in advance, but why are there two hoses? Also I am planning on ordering a manual, but if anyone has one I would greatly appreciate, live in Minnesota and snow season is here so I need to get this stuff ordered and on. Blower also shows the gearbox need 80w90 agma5ep oil.....can't find the agma5ep, from what I can see equivalent is ISO220 like they use with drilling rigs?

I am not familiar with that model, but could there be both a manual rotation handle and a hydraulic option that would require the two hoses?
A hose from the mower lift cylinder is extended to the front, near the snowblower. A second hose from the front goes back to the lift cylinder. When the mowing deck is on, the two hoses up front are connected together to operate the mower lift cylinder via the handle on the left. When the snowblower is mounted, the two hoses up front are disconnected from each other and are connected to the blower cylinder. The handle on the left then allows you to lift or lower the blower hydraulically. I don’t remember which end of the mower lift cylinder is used to reroute the fluid.
Thanks, do you have any specs or plans you could share?The chute rotator is electric. I made one with an auto wiper motor.
I am sorry but I don't have specs. Here is what it looks like:
And the switch I put in the dash (above the light switch):
I had most of the parts laying around in the garage. I guess I took after dad--never throw anything away--might need it some day...
I did buy the mount support plate (and something else--don't remember) from Messicks. I spent less than $100 at the time.

Still works but I haven't use the snowblower in five plus years. (Since I've moved south.) The snowblower sits on a moving dolly. I wheel it out and point it north to ward off the snow god when there is a weather warning.
Actually, I would not mind a good snow storm. The look on the neighbors faces when I motor on out with it would be priceless.
