So, just to be sure I understand, is it the guitars or the lack of cubs that make some posts "off topic"?
On topic (I think), I got my QA42A back together with a used spirol pin. As Don T pointed out, I'll need to get some new parts, but it got me through some 20" drifts for now. Here's a picture taken after I finished:
(Tee Hee - I crack myself up!)

Now the Cab I see you have on that QL tractor is what I need to build for my 1512.Could you send me some pictures to my email. That is a nice big Cab and I need a big cab for me to get into lol. I could have a ws wiper and lights.Cool, We have high winds here today and I see most of the wife's work out side for xmas decorations have taken flight and are missing.

Jeff - Thanks. The old 782 needs some work, but it sure gets the job done.
QA42A question for the experts - as you can see in my photo below, my QA43A didn't have the chute deflectors when I bought it (the "cage" inside the chute.) I'm curious about the purpose of the deflectors. Are they for:
a) A safety feature to prevent someone (dumber than me) from reaching in while it's running?
b) A safety feature to help prevent unintended objects from going airborne?
c) A guide to help direct snow in a consolidated, aerodynamic flow?
d) All of the above?
e) None of the above?
Just curious...

Greg-
I think that wire thing is supposed to keep gravel out of your windows. All it seemed to do on mine was help clog the chute, so I removed it.

We just got 4" yesterday so after church I went and got the trailer to deliver hay to the doghouses and got my 122 stuck (turfs with no chains) so I jacked it up right in the middle of a blizzard and put chains on(pics to follow)
My v/r problems.
I adjusted the upper contacts to charge at 14 volts turn the tractor off start it back up no charging you can do this over and over so I took an old v/r I had laying around put it on it charged 16 volts so I adjusted it and it now charged 14 volts.
Could the first v/r have been not grounded properly to cause its problems?

My vote is with A
a) A safety feature to prevent someone (dumber than me) from reaching in while it's running?
I did not reinstall that when I did my refurbish on my 450 .I think they just get in the way and would help plug up the chute. I think its there for safety reasons you mentioned. I do know someone who has three less fingers now from putting his hand down the chute and seeing his glove go flying.

Thanks, Matt. Mine was MIA when I got the thrower and I've only had it plug up once, with really wet, slushy snow, so the PO must have made that enhancement! I just remember not to air the chute at anything breakable.
Greg, my vote is that those wires are to keep people from putting their hands in the discharge chute. Nice 6 string Cub. I think I'll take a cue from that photo and takes pictures of all my, um, Cubs.
Jeff U., nice! Last time I played in public was when I was in high school.
Lucas, I would think a bad or non-existent ground could cause all sorts of issues with the V/R.

Josh, what do you mean Cub Cadets wont help with this much snow? I figure I got around 20"+. My 125 and QA42 cleared a bunch of snow away.

"We got around 10" here yesterday...were (WHERE!) i live there are drifts waist deep in some places"
So what?
I moved a huge shovel pile that was NECK-HIGH yesterday. Take a bite, let the stuff above fall, take another bite, repeat until pile is gone.
The nice thing about blowing this much snow is that when you're done, it's basically "gone". No huge piles to be shoving around for the rest of the winter. For light snow-falls, blades work best, but for this big stuff, blowers/throwers rule the driveways!
Kraig-
Neat pics!
