If you can make your own bracket, then the one for the 2x20 series should work just fine-the mounting bracket should be the only part that is machine specific. Of course you can go the electric acuator route also.

I was referring to the correct mounting for the 1026. Looking at your link and the other picture posted they look different. One picture has a green part in front of pedals and other one doesnt. Is one a 1023 and one a 1026?
The 2305 actually mounts using two bolts to where the plastic cowl below dash bolts to metal in front of it. They use a bracket, spacers and longer bolts.
I made a bracket for my 2305 that bolts in the same spot as the OEM one. I just went to a little more work making it fit and really did not need spacers. See picture.

The bracket is a deere part. I didnt know the 54" blower came with out the cable setup. This is how my dealer set it up. I did add the eye bolt to keep the cable off the tire.
It works great but to take the blower on and off you have to unbolt the cable setup and coil it up. We have had little snow this year so I plan on removing the blower whenever I can. It's just one more thing that I have to deal with and it now requires a wrench.
I asked about the price for the chute adjuster setup and they told me about $100. I though that was not bad so I ordered it. Apparantly that was just for the cable setup and the hardware kit to attached the operator end along with the hooks to route cable is another $75 and needs to be ordered from parts and not sales.
That said if I had known I was going to be fabbing parts anyway I would have probably bought a mini linear actuator and ran wiring to front of frame and added an enviromental connector to plug-in to.
I have some cool ideas for a switch that would be part of the joystick so could have controlled it from there.
Sometimes I feel like taking the easy way out and getting something thats plug and play from Mother Deere but I usually find I can build something that looks better and works better too. When it comes to accessories and implements they have to build a one size fits all solution and it often shows.
Kind of like the hydraulic hose for the blower. Instead of giving you the right hoses they send you extensions for the ones that are too short. Thats just not right !
I like modifying stuff anyway. It usually just takes me a while to cut into something brand new. As you can see from my last tractor (345) I normally dont leave stuff alone. Custom seating, cargo light, 318 tails, tires, custom built sleeve hitch, etc etc.
