Snowblower Front Mount

And being an idiot (at times at least lol.. give me a break)

swing hook lock for use during transport. drops in a set of holes so the bh boom can't swing during transport. dropped in position to stop the swing.

here it is in its holder when operating the BH. at the bottom you can see the rnd hole it would be placed in when you want no swing during transport.

Don't be an idiot like me and "temporarily" store the swing lock pin in the BH pin hole when the BH has been swung to the side.
Then immediately forget and muscle-memory swing the boom back. POP. Sheared a chunk of the swung (top) pin hole clear off and into the snow beneath.
They're NOT made to keep the boom off to the side.
I can't use the swing lock pin anymore. May try having a welder reattach the chunk. May not, rarely trailer the machine anymore.

Thanks for the reply. That welded tube to the grab bar, holds the silver rod for Bh77 arm rotational stop while in transit. I'm going to use that welded tube holder for now , as a point to put a tall 3 ft. Pipe in. This so I can have a grab handle to pull myself up onto the BH77.
I'm 71, and just had left knee replaced 2x. Need all the help I can get. The Std. BH77 grab bar looks like a xxxx. I will latter fab one like it, as high as the seat top. Pic of the one one on my old Ford works well. Also adding Grated Steps to the Outrigger Arm Pistons from Specialty Repair Sales Canada. My old Ford had these built in already that covered the lower Hyd. hoses.

e chute motor was a surplus unit, probably from Princess Auto, 15-20 years ago. About the size of a Mason jar or 'large' coffee.I have seen bodgers use 12V winches and cable wrapped around the chute.

the RF relays I got from TEMU, though Amazon or others will have them. About $20+-. Keyfob has
A B
C D

so B was up chute, C was down, A was turn left , D was turn right.
This way no wires between blower and tractor. U1 battery on blower powered the 'receiver' as well as the Electric PTO. was going to add LED lights...never did.

I wanted it to be EASY to swap with the bucket.

BTW you may want to add an idler/tensioner to take up some of the chain slack..

I do have a spring loaded Idler yet to mount. I used a 50 amp Quick coupling for the Honda, for the Starter, like used on Snowplow Solenoids. I can 12v. off that foe a 12v. Chute linear actuator motor. Thanks for the RF remote info. Yea, no more wires !!. My Kubota dash has a pocket on top for a phone or .....can drop that remote fob in there.

As they are mounting the BH77 & Subframe to my B2650HSDC, I'm reading they will have to get into the Power Beyond Hyd.. It already has the Front Loader 3rd. Function option. As this has a Cab, I'm thinking while the Hyd. are getting all opened up, why not at least add a rear single HYD. AUX Port option, before they deliver it to me from Pa. next week to Ct.
This so if I want to add other implements, or a Hyd. Thumb.

First, I'd like to thank all members for the help replying to this newbee, yet to get delivery on the used B2650HSDC. I found a Post from a NEW owner (name Cabota) back in 2017, with the same machine, and same question, about adding rear Hyd. functions, to a Cab'd B2650. This was when he was ordering his new. Said was exhausted finding little documentation on the Cab rear Hyd. option info. Me the same.......
I'm trying to add this after the fact, while installing a BH77 and Subframe at the dealer.
Thinking now while breaking into the hydraulics and power beyond with a cab and having the complexity of the front 3rd. loader function, now is the time to add a rear hyd. function option.
See what the dealer say tomorrow am. .
