Is there any difference in the exterior sheet metal between a 482, 582, 682, or 782?
 
Didn't somebody have plans or a dimensioned drawing of a sleeve hitch? Can't seem to find it.
 
And yes Aaron has made extensions for blades.

I just find the dang pics right now.
I'll get him to post some.
 
Charlie--love the CC Clock. I was in the antique store the other day and saw this mint clock on the wall for sale.

I'm sure several of you have these on your walls. If I would have had the three big bills and some small ones at my disposal, I'd have one on my wall too. Since I don't, I have to be happy with a picture for now. It was made in 1959.

Jeff, I love the pics of you blasting through that snow drift with your blade. That is a great action shot. I might just make it a screen saver

I tried to put my newly finished Cubbie to work yesterday morning but the snow was so wet here

and my belt was all but gone! So I was getting more squealing than anything

. I was using the belt that came with the 450 and it was in sad shape. I'm pretty sure it was bottoming on the pulleys. So, I decided to pull the cover off the CubKub which has the Hydro turn blade mounted on it and get to work. It never ceases to amaze me how much pushing power that thing has. I wish someone could have taken some videos of that but no one was around! This next week, I'll get a new belt for the 450 and hopefully the Cubbie will be ready to work when our next storm hits!

I found out, however, that AG tires without chains aren't even close to turfs with chains when it comes to traction!!!
 
Charlie: I was thinking more along the lines of a "wing" like the DOT trucks have that would hang off to the side to "wing" the snow (tops of the windrow actually) off further to the side.
It would have to be adjustable up and down and require offsetting weight to the opposite side of the tractor I'm sure. Just a thought. If I didn't have so dang many projects going on now I might just tackle a scaled down version of something like that!! yeah....right!!

It would be a big hit at the tractor shows next summer in the 100 deg heat I'm sure!
