The snow plow still has not plowed the roads around here so I'm staying home until they do. Here's some photos I took last night during the snow removal. Sorry no action shots. I tried using the flash but the falling snow reflected too much. These 3 were all taken within about one minute of each other.

The Cub Den.

Firewood piles.

Look what I found cleaning up my shop; well moving stuff around

It is 4.75" , just about an " larger . It would make the pump turn faster >?

kraig; if I lived close I would come over and help blowing snow with my 1512 and 450 . I need a cozy cab and then I would just stop for fuel lol.

Don, I wish you would have been here to help. I topped off the tank 2 times last night. That Killer Kohler is thirsty when it's working hard and oh my was it working hard last night.

Thanks to Xtreme Motorworks I can lift the snowblower high enough to load into my trailer:

You forgot to show everyone why you can lift the thrower higher.

 

[dylschmidt]

This is perfect! now it lifts nearly 9 inches off the ground and clears the ramps..

With all the recent discussions on Cub lighting, I thought this oldie repost may be of interest. It is a back-up light that I made for my 1250 years ago that really proves useful for night-time snow removal jobs, especially if you don't have good lighting of your driveway. It bolts on the frame using the implement spring bracket holes. Mine is still equipped with the original headlight bulb. Wiring is attached to the lighting circuit such that it is switched on with the headlights. Thus, it is more appropriately named a "rear utility worklight". The light and rubber enclosure were purchased from Northern.

WES, JEFF - As late as 5 AM yesterday we were supposed to get less than an inch which would have melted off as fast as it fell. Then about 6 AM they realized the storm track was farther south and they said 3 to 5 inches.

I've already spent more time pushing snow this winter than I did ALL of last winter. It can warm up now!

Actually we need the moisture, we're still over eight inches short for the year. The ag news papers are all talking about how this year's drought will effect next years crops. Lets see eight inches of water is about EIGHTY inches of snow.... Let's hope for some rain and above freezing temps.

Wow Kraig, that looks cold!!!

I am looking for a rebuild kit for my starter on my 982. The only number i can get off of it are "American Bosch 2030923m030sm". I can't find anything to cross reference on any sites. Any suggestions?

 

[stanner]

Don T
a larger driven pulley will make whatever it's attached to turn slower...

Darryl,
I might have to make one of those "adapters"

If I had more $$ than time, I'd call up the sponsors and order one right quick.... Besides, I'd like Aaaron's snowblower wings instead...

Picked this up the same time I got the 1450. Looks like I need a sleeve hitch adapter, anything else?
Does anyone know if this is a good grader? It looks heavy duty.

OR that would work on a cat O with Aarons adapter.
I have an estate blade . it does need some weight on it to cut the soil down to where I`am getting done what I need done .I know that a 125 will pull me at 230 lbs and drag a bunch of ground.

Kirk Engines inc got an order for two point savers . I just have to try them out. I think they would help with setting the timming . and that would be a plus !

 

[nbartee]

Thanks for the info, Don. I need to keep a lookout for a good sleeve hitch adapter.

 

[dtanner]

The 125 would move some soil with me standing on the blade hauled with Jim S 125 .It did do well on its own and it is 6 ft wide . here I`am running his 125 enjoying a nice running 125

Hope this picture does not scare all the young-ins LoL.
