Other sub frames to substitute for B2652?

[oldryder]

I have a B2410 that I want to add a front mount blower. I've found a B2650 blower in nice shape but still need a subframe.

I believe the correct one is B2652 and I am hoping to find one.

However, I've seen various threads were modifying a subframe for a different model was mentioned. I have a welder and modest fabrication skills so I could do some modifying if an alternate frame was close to what was needed.

So - what other subframes would work for a B2650 blower on a B2410 tractor?

It has been suggested a B2761 subframe will work on the B2410. How would I confirm this? Is there a cross reference table somewhere?

What subframes, if any, would work with a modest amount of modifications? (modest means a couple of hours work)

Many thx to anyone offering advice.

I have had both a B2650 blower (old style) with the B2652 subframe and a B2781 blower (new style) with the B2733 subframe on my B2410 tractor.
The B2650 blower (old style) mounts on the subframe with pins.
The new style blowers use a tongue shaped part on the subframe that goes into a pocket on the back of the blower. Very different setup.
Also the drive shaft parts are very different and very expensive.
You really need the B2652 subframe.
I can post more pictures of each if you want.

Thx for info and pics would be great. I'm not surprised at the answer. It did make sense to me that the subframe could be compatible with tractors that were on the same chassis and just had different size motors but I'm not even sure if that is true.

pictures of B2652 on a B2410.
I also have copies of the B2650 & B2652 manuals if you need any info.
I have a B2652 subframe if you need any measurements.
It actually would not be super difficult to build the subframe.
The hard part would be the drive line. As I said before the parts are very expensive.

Thx for pics … and scaring me off the idea of fabricating a frame. I'll keep looking for the correct part.
