am not a "new tractor" guy so I do not know.
But in raising the blower that high, did you crunch the chute into the grill or headlight?

Thanks for the reply's. J-Mech, the drive splines seemed to mesh ok and slid in with no problem. As to why I didn't mount the blower and mount as one unit, I really don't know. I'll just chalk it up to being old and dumb. Still learning as I go. Learn something new today and forget two things tomorrow. Hard to stay ahead at that rate. Now that I have the blower mounted and lifting, it probably won't snow all winter. Ha ha. Every one have a great day.

I think J-Mech meant how the driveshaft is phased.
i.e. it could be assembled with the yokes on the shaft being 90 degrees clocked versus inline.

That is correct. Or even one tooth off... or two. They have to look just like the pic or u-joint damage will occur.

Oh My, did not know about the drive shaft alignment. Hope I didn't ruin the u joints or something else. Will go take a look at it. See, learned something new again today. Now what are the two things I forgot. Thanks so much.
Went down to the cub building and looked at the drive shaft alignment. It is out 90 degrees. Will have to wait a couple days before I can correct it. U joints felt pretty tight so maybe I did not hurt anything. Thanks so much Double07 for the picture. Have a great day.
