Hi all! I recently bought a 2006 Toro LX500 lawn tractor. It has been great mowing the yard and I am appreciating that 54" mowing deck. Yesterday I looked at and bought a used Snow Thrower Attachment. It is an MTD OEM-190-823 42" wide two-stage Thrower. I have found conflicting information on-line about whether or not it will fit my Toro. It will definitely bolt up to my tractor as far as fitting. After I got home and looked further on-line I realized there is an Undercarriage Assembly with idler arms, tension spring and a second V-belt that is necessary and bolts to the underside of the tractor. Now I know why the price was only $200:-(. So my questions are 1) Where can I find this assembly and if I can't 2) Is there anyway to hook it straight up to the PTO without this additional assembly? I assume this assembly may be needed to be beefy enough to turn the auger when a heavy snow is being thrown. Anyone out there who might be knowledgable on this particular subject and offer me advice would be greatly appreciated. I suppose my first wish is to find and buy this needed assembly but am looking for any options. Thank you in advance for any consideration you give me!
