Best wishes for a long and happy retirement and :thanku: for serving our country :trink39:
The only OEM Deere blower for 175 is the 38" single stage. That's currently what I have on my 180. Pretty capable as I do three driveways a storm and have never really had stuff it couldn't handle from 6" of sleet to compacted plow snot at the end of the driveway. $500 for a 175 in decent shape is about right from what I've seen. There's a one owner near me listed for $650. Not sure about the Bercomac solution, you'd have to call and ask. I think there would be signficant mounting differences between 175 and x500 series though. Before shopping for a used blower be sure to post here first and get a list of all the bits that should come with it. There's at least 5 additional pieces and people often misplace them and "forget" to tell the new owners.
