The 3252 attaches exactly like the plow does. Can you look at the plow frame and see any differences or pieces missing?

In the first pic it appears that the latch hook on the left side of the frame is attached lower than the one on the right, which is correct. These hook onto the pins off the outside of the frame.

 

Also, be sure to set your deck height adjustment to 0, or you will get very little lift on the front attachments.

 

Thanks for the response. The plow does not have anything raised or bolted on except for a latch on either side.

The thrower has entire bracket assemblies bolted onto either side. The latches do not use a clevis/lock pin style; rather, they're using springs -- and they're actually facing "open" toward the thrower housing rather than the rear.

 

I forgot to update this thread with a solution. Using the parts list as well as seeing how the blade mounts, I replaced the LX-specific parts. Pictures attached are of the thrower frame setup for use on a GX, as well as the parts removed. Hopefully this helps someone in the future if they buy used and need to convert to mount.

 

Most of 16 is NLA and needed to install on an LX series ( i.e. LX188) so save them if you have them.

I got my blower off a 325 or 345 and it came with an upstop, not needed on LX but needed on 3 series

 

I certainly won't toss them as I'm sure someone could use them. That's what I'd like to think, anyway. I have a friend whose son has been looking for a LX to upgrade from his L, and a thrower is on his accessory list. I figured I'll wait and see what he ends up with before I advertise them.

With that said, if anyone stumbles across this thread and is in need of those parts, don't hesitate to ask!

 

I just picked up a 42" blower for my GX345 hydro lift. It apparently came off a lx289 manual lift. What JD Part numbers will I need to mount? Thanks SOOOO much...
