Hi Guys... B2782 on B7800... chute crank issues... help, snow tomorrow!!

[BoB F]

Hi guys... just bought this tractor and separately a snowblower attachment. I finally got it all mounted correctly, and only ONE issue... I have a heated Curtis cab and I can't "see" how to mount the chute crank. There isn't room by the loader control (used now for the blower). and there's a stand-off bracket that I have NO idea where it goes. All the videos I find have hydraulic chutes so I can't find a picture even... HELP!!

Suggest you start by posting a few photos.

Often when a hand crank is interfering with a part of the tractor, a universal joint is added to the hand crank shaft.

The universal joint can be a simple as a piece of rubber hose.

Cut the crank shaft, find a piece of hose that will slide over the two ends of the cut shaft and secure each end with a hose clamp.

Now the end of the crank can be moved out of line with the rest of the shaft and still rotate it.
