Question on Wheel Horse snow throwers

I have a 1969 Wheel Horse Charger with a 12 horse engine. Will a model ST 325 snow thrower fit on it?
The auger box measures 30 inches wide, and 36" wide wing tip to wing tip.

Thanks for your help.
 
The st325 blower was made in 65 & designed for use on the 500-1075 model tractors,however it will fit/work on a charger 12,as I picked up one late this winter on craigslist & mounted on one of my charger 12 tractors about a month ago as a backup unit,the normal blower used on a charger 12 was an st-376(37" clearing path w/o wings,42" with wings).To engage blower you can use clutch on blower or leave clutch on blower engaged all the time & use existing manual pto or elect clutch(if an electro 12 tractor)to engage blower,you might also have to move belt pulley on blower drive shaft slightly if not lined with tractor pto pulley.
 
I mounted the thing this morning and it is exactly as you described. Gonna have to use a different belt, I think I can turn the blower pulley (offset) over to gain a better alignment, and the "pedestal" that holds the two control rods will have to be rotated slightly as it now whacks the clutch.

Its good to hear that it will work. I have to believe that that narrower design will be kinder to the front axle and engine too.

Thanks guys for your response.

C'mon over for a beer.
 
As an after thought for my reply,IF you want to do your left arm/ shoulder a BIG favor if tractor has a manual mower deck/implement lift(I converted both of may tractors to hyd lift)check on ebay for a booster lift spring or booster lift kit that connects between foot rest's cross shaft & flag on lift tube for blower that connects to mower/implement lift rock shaft arm,your arm/shoulder will love you for it after lifting blower 5-6 times when backing up.
