Well, since I have owned my B2301 I have always wondered why no light or buzzer for the parking brake. It would be handy and stop you from driving off with it still engaged. So today was the day. Having found a small buzzer, a light and a door courtesy switch I was set. I took the power for the...

I have read over many years about the placing of a PVC pipe over the cutting edge of a plow and in some cases over the edge on a snowblower to stop picking up gravel. I decided to do the modification but instead of PVC used a thick wall Galv pipe. The unit had to be able to mount using the...

I wondered if anyone else has experienced this problem. I own a front blower for my B2301 and the quick attach mounting has a cylinder for the lift operation. So, this unit is starting its 3rd winter season, it has had little use as in the number of lift and drop cycles compared to front loader...

No doubt some of you have experienced the same issues the last few winters with the freeze-thaw cycle and if you have a gravel drive the skids digging in and the blower collecting and redistributing gravel where you don't want it. So looking over YouTube I noticed some videos where people added...

Well, after having the same issue as many with a gravel drive - that of setting a well-compacted base I decided to McGyver something to allow me to do this more efficiently than driving up and down flattening the snow with my tyres. Last year we had some serious ice and I made a ripper using a...

Having used the manual rotator and no chute control last year I decided motorisation was required. Mounting a window lift motor for rotation and a 4-inch actuator for the chute I looked at how I was going to control these and the location. As everyone is well aware space is at a premium so...

Well, after a couple of years of good service from my Harbor Freight 170 amp welder it decided to play up. I had just finished welding some 3/8 inch angle to a heaver section of plate and all was well. I then started to tack weld some grate sections and the power went down. It is still welding...

Just finish my front brush guard, it is made from tube and all the sections are doubled up with a tube inside a tube. As I only use my tractor for cutting grass, blowing snow and some lifting and carrying no forestry work I thought this might be enough. I made it so it tilts forward for hood...

Well, after a winter of sheet ice and the issue associated with tearing into that hard surface I decided to make a ripper using a heavy steel grating that I previously used to rake my gravel drive. I ran the unit with great success doing the ice and now the weather has warmed I managed to get...

After making my carry all and thinking that a water tank for watering distant plants and spraying fertilizer would be handy, but, not worth the several hundreds of dollar needed to buy one, I set forth on this contraption. Basically, it is a 55-gallon plastic drum, this one had water soluble RV...

Well, the lure of some scrap steel was too much and I put together this little lifting rig. It mounts onto a drawbar and is located with a section of C-section, bolted through the drawbar with a 3/4 inch bolt. The top link allows for forward and back adjustment and I just fitted the small...

Well flushed with success using my short 3 point mounted small crane using my 2500 lb HF winch I decided to use my previously fabricated rear fork set and make a boom crane for the same winch. As you can imagine using a small winch is a limit but it is only for lifting theMMM, front snowblower...

I was wondering if there is any reason that you cannot store your MMM vertically. I see only 1 oil seal on the gearbox the rest are greased. I ask this as I like to store it indoors and until I build my attachment shed it is in my workshop but it takes up a lot of floor space. Option?

Well, following on from the posted issue of black smoke due to the air filter being blocked with snow I thought I would have a look at a mod. I have not altered or damaged any of the existing items and will reinstall the standard intake come grass cutting season. As the problem stemmed from...

I noticed yesterday while in Costco - Canada that they had a 2pack of metal ammo boxes, one medium, one small, they seemed well made - about $25. I didn't buy any or have the smarts to take a picture - sorry. They had a nice catch and a waterproof gasket.

Well, as we have been getting lots of ice and the weather is a bit milder than it should be, I thought I would look at ripping into the surface in an attempt to offer more open area for a melt. Having used the same grate to Feng Shui my gravel drive in summer, it gives it that expensive look, I...

I thought I would ask those with experience operating the front mounted snow blowers what the best operational sequence was. I am new to the front mounted units previously using an Allied 72 inch rear mounted unit, which in comparison to the Kubota unit was battleship quality. I ran the PTO...

Well, today was a real highlight moment. After a fall of 6 inches of light snow, I decided to blow it using my twice used new front blower. All went well at the start and it did a good job, however, as I approached the 25-minute mark and blowing just 6 inches of snow the universal coupling at...

Well, another day tinkering in the workshop. This year so far has been hard work with rain instead of snow and above seasonal temperatures making for an icy mess. I had been looking for a cheap tow behind spreader and thought of modifying it to become a 3 point hitch unit with a small motor...

As I am new to this tractor and this brand I wonder if someone could help. The tractor temp, never moves off cold, I even tried the block heater and it still said cold after 40 min of snow blowing, temp was +2c with wind chill of _7c but it should have moved- radiator and block are warm and...
