Installing an Amazon Purchased Arnold snow blade on a Troy Built or Craftsman Tractor

In this video, I will demonstrate the process of installing the Amazon Snowblade on my Troy Built tractor. I want to mention beforehand that the instructions provided with the Snowblade were not very helpful, so I had to figure it out myself. I hope this video can serve as a step-by-step guide for those who might encounter similar difficulties.
First, I unpacked the Snowblade and laid out all the components to get a better understanding of what I was working with. It consisted of the blade itself, a mounting bracket, and various nuts, bolts, and washers.
Next, I positioned the mounting bracket on the front of my Troy Built tractor. I noticed that the holes on the bracket aligned with pre-existing holes on the tractor's frame, indicating that this was where the Snowblade should be attached.
Using the provided bolts, nuts, and washers, I secured the mounting bracket firmly onto the tractor's frame. It was crucial to ensure that the bracket was tightly fastened, as this would provide stability for the Snowblade during use.
Once the bracket was securely attached, I positioned the Snowblade onto the bracket, aligning the holes on the blade with those on the bracket. This part required some trial and error, as the instructions did not provide clear guidance on the exact positioning.
With the Snowblade in place, I inserted the bolts through the aligned holes and secured them with the corresponding nuts and washers. I made sure to tighten them adequately to ensure a secure attachment.
After double-checking all the connections, I tested the Snowblade's range of motion to ensure that it was functioning properly. I adjusted the angle of the blade using the adjustment lever, and also made sure it could be raised and lowered smoothly.
Although the instructions provided with the Amazon Snowblade were not helpful during the installation process, I was able to successfully attach it to my Troy Built tractor by following these steps. I hope this video serves as a useful guide for anyone facing similar challenges.
I will let you know how it works when we get some snow!

At least you got some instruction papers with yours.

Not really very good ones

I got a 46" Arnold for my Cub Cadet 2yrs. ago, ended up changing out the cotter pins for thicker ones & laid the plow down on a 1/4" strip of wood to adjust the legs. Once assembled it's easy to pull the spring loaded bars to take off & put back on. Soo much easier plowing than shoveling, I also got chains but didn't snow enough to need them.

I have the chains but still waiting on the first snow to use it. I figured I would replace it with a plastic one. You’re right the bolts are a bit questionable.

Check my videos for modifications i have made since i installed the blade and found the weak areas.

GOOD VIDEO THANKS . CUESTION DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE BLADES OFF TO USE THE SNOW PLOW?

[@papascustomcars]

For ground clearance yes you do. The mower deck is easy to remove. Also look for the follow up video on changes I had to add. Use hitch pins instead of the little ones they give you. Also with snow chains I have pushed as much snow as my neighbors 4 wheeler.

Thanks sir this helped me

[@papascustomcars]

Right there with you. Make sure you put in the extra bolts like I show in last week's video. Also use tire chains

[@charlesstockage7062]

[@papascustomcars]

Any hardware store has them I got mine at ACE.Take one with you

[@papascustomcars]

Should say if you have one. Otherwise just measure it.
