Good Morning Gurus:
I bought a MTD 190-621 snowblower to attach to my Craftsman LT 4000.
The unit was attached to a tractor with electric pto.
The Idler Engagement Bracket is missing for this reason.
Please see attached picture, the part in yellow is what is missing.
I would be in debt to anyone who could tell me the dimensions of this part.
Well shame, it may be awhile before anyone with the bracket you need sees this and I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
But let me suggest that if you have the linkages that attach to it you might be able to use a piece of 1/4 inch plywood cut so the linkages would approximately reach and bore holes for them. This would just be a prototype until you could get dimensions or locate that part. If you can't find exact dimensions you may be able to use it for a pattern to make one from steel. You may even decide a wooden bracket works just fine and won't rust in your snow blowing climate. Being at the ranch and a 60 mile round trip to town I've made more than 1 wooden push mower wheel.
By the way, I liked the font in your first post. Easy on this old man's eyes. :biggrin:
Thanks Sandburr:
I have started a template out of steel, was hoping if someone knew the dimensions it would save time and energy.
The template is already triangular, it is a garage sale item I bought a set of 6, it is a steel plate that is designed to reinforce a backyard swing set built from wood.
I got all 6 for $1 years ago and will use one for this project. LOL!
I will continue drilling and testing until it works or some one replies with dimensions.
