Got a two parter tonight! Robert, tire chains are on the list :). I'm just south of the Lake in prime lake effect snow territory so at least once a year we'll get a foot or more in a day. I'd like to do the back blade as that way I don't have to fool with rigging my own hydraulic setup. I'm...

Hydraulic motors aren't cheap either plus the long hoses you'd have to run to do something like that. Honestly I'd do it electrically. High current 12V equipment is real common and you oughta be able to do that with mostly junkyard parts. It's intermittent use and the engine will be running...

Yes the compression release is on the far left. It's boogered up too, I'm was already planning on replacing it with a hardware store choke cable once I get the dash back on. Horn and caution lights you say huh? Both the switches and hardware appear to be long gone. I found a wire running to...

John thanks for the reply, that actually helps quite a bit. You've got quite a nice setup there. It turns out this tractor does have a front PTO, I had thought it didn't. That simplifies things greatly. Now I've just got to get it in running shape again and find a blower. I bought this...

Hello all. In a few days I'm planning on buying an L175 that's available locally. It's got a broken steering box so I've got to fix that and give it a coat of paint but once that's done I'd like to mount a front snowblower on it. What are my options here? Change is tight so buying a new...
