ABSTRACT:
A mounting structure for drivingly connecting a belt driven attachment such as an auxiliary blower to a mower deck or similar implement. The connecting structure includes a pivot and sleeve arrangement between one end of the blower and the mower deck for quickly and easily positioning the blower on the mower deck. The pivot then allows for the blower to be swung around adjacent to the mower deck to permit a latching mechanism to be engaged between the mower deck and the blower. The combination latching and belt tensioning mechanism permits generally simultaneous belt tensioning for belt driven blowers as the rear of the blower is latched to the mower deck. Should the latch not be aligned and, therefore, not secure the mower to the blower deck, provision is made for the belt tensioning arrangement to not engage the blower attachment adequately with the mower's belt drive.
