Garden tractor cab- Todays picture shows me working away cutting out the lexan for the Waldon cab project. Tomorrow I will begin drilling the panels and building the metal strips that will secure them in place on the cab. I am thinking now i might have to build a cab for the jd 455 and the jd mini 4020 if they both have snowblowers on them.
48″ snowblower gearbox- I bought the $50.00 48″ 2 stage blower not knowing if it worked. The guy told me it was not set up and they put new bearings in it two years ago. Let me tell you , it was SETUP BIG TIME !! After tearing down the blower I opened up the front gear box and dumped out about two cups of water. Then I removed the front bearing cap and a dozen or so pieces of small metal fell out. When I removed the side cover I could see solid rust inside the worm gear . It was set up BIGTIME !! I had nothing to lose so I removed everything soaked it in penetrating oil , then sanded everything nice and shiny . I lucked out and had a couple brand new bearings that have sat around here for over 15 years and they fit perfect. This morning I greased everything up and reassembled it . Good to go . Next i have to rebuild the mounting brackets to fit my jd 455 Diesel
and build a frame to lift the blower hydraulicly. I will remove the single stage blower that i converted a couple months ago .
John Deere 59″ 2 stage snowblower gearbox- I think I located parts for the other broken snowblower and going to go check on them later this week.
Hurricane Sandy- Nicole and Bill and Terak lucked out and just got 6 inches of rain and some wind but no damage. Were so glad for them. Feel so sad for all the others that were not so lucky.
