Impossible to find a 529 snowthrower kit for my 2084?

[taylorbirkey]

I've got a 2084 SGT and 451 (pretty sure, badge is gone) 45" snowthrower attachment. But it appears I'm missing the 529 snowthrower extension bracket. Just wondering if anyone has one or might know where I could find one. Turning up empty on initial web searches. Here's a photo of the bracket from my 451 manual.

Should be easy enough tp fab up I would think from two pieces of flat stock welded one on top of the other at the correct position and add the holes.
Send me a sketch with some measurements.

Thank you! At first I was thinking it was the whole assembly not just that square piece, but you're right, if it's just that piece, it should be fairly straightforward to fab. I'll take a look this afternoon and get back to you.

You're right. I saw that before but thought I needed more parts than just those 2 square brackets. I guess $125 seems okay given it comes with a belt and all the bolts...

Forum sponsor Xtreme Motorworks sells a pair of reproduction brackets for $34.00. That price includes the bolts and nuts.

I have a set of Xtreme brackets with the spacers from Cub Cadet- and the bolts. They are for sale. I no longer have the blower.

Update! I was testing the fit of the snowthrower attachment yesterday and took some photos of my 2084. It would seem that I don't need the extension brackets but am instead missing part of the linkage between the lift handle rod and the hydraulic lift. It's this part (1-6 in the diagram):

Photos from the front of my 2084 for reference:

Thanks to all for the help so far. I can't roll this thing out into the gathering elements until I can get the lift linked up! I've found CCSpecialties and a couple of other places carry the part.

Just to let you know that is a 551 blower. Can you push it in to the quick attach a little more?

You're right! @ssheils also brought this to my attention. You are also correct ... it was my first time trying to attach this beast so I was being real ginger. But I did subsequently get it pushed all the way into the shoulder bolts.
