1 1/2 hours. full throttle. mower on. cutting the lawn.
never stalled.
bad news is, the JB WELD is deteriorating quickly. but, at least i know what is wrong . guess i will try a muffler patch on line. maybe new exhaust in the spring.
but for now, time to put the snow blower on and see if that works. hopefully that wont have a problem that will cause me to post 100 times.
and lights! i need light for winter snow plowing.
and wheel weights, have to find wheel weights.
thanks again for all the help. i never would guessed it was the exhaust leak.

thanks for the suggestion on the tool, but i am afraid to touch the exhaust system. everything i checked so far was original, and i do not think the last owner ever serviced it, so if i take that exhaust system apart, i am sure it will break.
i will try muffler cement and furnace cement. if they fail, new exhaust.

What snowthrowers can move? We all know that snowthrowers can throw snow, rocks, newspapers, and other objects that we accidentally find buried under the snow when we are clearing snow. They are also a very efficent "winder" of cords and ropes.... But what can they move on purpose, that is not in their inteneded design.
Dennis F, said he saw pictures of shelled corn. I wish I had a video of what I am about to tell you, if I did I could have won 10 grand with it, I am sure.
Mom and Dad, were beginning an addition to their garage to store the boat in. It was a 12x24 "lean-to" on the back of the existing garage. The plan for the floor was to put down a layer of gravel, on the gravel a layer of used shipping pallats, and top off the pallats with a layer of recycled 3/4in plywood to make a level, solid floor. So to make the floor, ground level they needed to dig down several inches, and level the bottom of the hole.
They started the process with a couple of shovles, and Dad quickly decided that this was just not going to work to dig this big of a hole. Remember this this is going to be 12'x24'x7", not a small hole. So Dad told Mom, that they were going to try something different. He went around front of the garage, got the 149 and hitched up the tiller and headed out back. He tilled the area up, as deep as he could, to break up the dirt very well. Went back around front, unhitched the tiller, and hooked up the QA36A Snowthrower to the 149. Took it around back, and proceded to throw all of the newly tilled dirt off into the yard beside the new addition. When he had removed as much dirt as he could with the snowthrower, he went back and removed the snowthrower and rehitched the tiller and tilled the hole down further, and repeated the process with the snowthrower. He did this "procedure" a couple of times until the hole was deep enough, and now level, he could spread the gravel layer, which I think he did with the snow blade.
He said it was not the "designed intent" of the snowblower, but he used the tools at hand, to work on the task at hand.
For those that are curious, this was several years ago, the QA36A is still in service and working well with no visible damage from its unusual task.
I do wish I had pictures, or a video of this. Dad said that it worked very well, and created quite a dust cloud.....
