This owner walks through exactly that, including a required 7-inch PTO driveshaft shortening, a DIY electric chute actuator, and a poly cutting-edge addition. Light on specs but heavy on real-world problem-solving; most useful to B2601 owners hunting used implements on Craigslist.
Posted by the John Kadletz channel, appears to be a hands-on owner sharing DIY modifications from personal experience, with no commercial affiliation evident.
Yes, the owner found that the B2781A snowblower and B2791A quick hitch pulled from a B3000 bolted right up to the B2601 with the existing loader bolts.
Yes, the driveshaft needed to be shortened by 7 inches. Cut it at the weld with a cutoff wheel to expose the machined part inside the tube, then shorten and reweld it.
Tack it where cut, spin it while someone holds a chalk pencil near it to mark the high side, then tweak and weld it even. The owner reports no vibration.
The owner paid three grand for the used B2781A snowblower and quick hitch off Craigslist, versus $5,600 that a new setup would have cost.
