Hey guys,
I have the following, and need some advice on getting the snowblower to install onto the mounts:
Tractor: 2003 GT5000, 917.276020
Snowblower attachment: 46-inch, 486.248460
I acquired these items (separately) before the last season (Dec 2010), and everything works great, except that getting the snowblower itself onto the frame brackets took forever, even with a helper (I wasted over an hour alone, to no avail).
I would get close, and it would always slide off the mounting pins. I tried to pin one side, then the other, that didn't work.
The manual says you may need a helper, and/or may need to put blocks of wood under the skid shoes. I'm looking for real-life experience that actually works every time, preferably without a second person.
I used to have a 2003 DLT3000 with the 40-inch blower, and could always install that one single-handed.
Thanks in advance.
Mike
