TRAITOR!!!

well kinda got bent with the ice a few days ago so the new improved woods 7 ft scraper is cool oh yeah and the 2 speed heater is a big plus with -15 wind chill....

I just picked up a JD 47 single stage blower for my JD 420. (looks much like the 318 on the earlier post just a bit bigger)

Timing is everything...... I went to pull the tractor in the garage to put the blower on and the engine seized and broke a rod! Now I am in the process of rebuilding the engine And there is a big drift of snow in my driveway!

I see you replaced your bucket with a blade. I'm thinking of doing this - does it work better than a bucket ? - Sometimes I use the bucket to dig into snow piles - but more often than not, it just takes up time dumping it it at the ends of a run. Does your blade have power angle - or is it just a staight up mount to the loader forks?

The front plow blade is power angle yes. using the bucket tilt i can do the same with the blade so it is extremly adjustable and diverse. i quick disconect the power angle hoses, pull 4 pins and the bucket is back on. the blade can be manuvered to "move" or dig into piles to move them.

i prefer the cleaner finish left with the rear scraper blade tho.. got 14,000 sq ft of blacktop to plow on three different levels so sometimes its like cutting grass!! by the time im done its time to start over!!

the front blade is worth having over the bucket. works good in float mode too depending on wetness of snow. i can put rear blower on too but more fun making piles and snow forts out of em!!

Sorry........

Anybody using the Honda 1132 trac snowblower...

1992 JD 420 with a #47 single stage snow blower. Shaft drive, Hydro lift and hydro chute angle.

Our snowblower... 76 hp. tractor, 7' snowblower. I use this to keep our 2 farms cleaned out.

Has anyone tryed to spread ashes(from AA130 using nutcoal) with a 3point seed spreader? looks like i can get one cheep!

I topped off the gas tank of my Snapper 8-22 today in anticipation of the next couple days. I started smelling gas later even though I was sure I didn't spill any.
The high-density polyethelene tank has a top half and bottom half welded together however they do that at the factory. I saw it was leaking at the seam. I can't figure out how that tank developed a leak, there was a small crack in it. I drained the tank, took it off and dried the seam out with compressed air. Then I wondered if I should put 5200 fast cure caulk on it. I decided to try to re-weld the split at the seam. I took a heat gun to it and when the plastic was soft, I mashed it toward the split like cake frosting. Success.
With the top off the little gas tank, I suppose there was a risk of explosion. Living on the edge! I've brazed or soldered car gas tanks in the past, those I've always filled with water first!
I've taken Weller soldering guns to plastic many times to try and weld it. I saw a plastic welding tool kit once, but it was really expensive.
Bring it on!
