Desko 610 #176 Posted January 21, 2014 Snow snow and more snow here I don't know how you would improve the pickup bar at the bottom of a snow blower to get the most snow off the concrete if it could be done what do you guys think can it be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,805 #177 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Firing up the 1977 B-100 to get started on the 4" now, 8" to 10" total to come later. Pictures will follow. So, here's the old man all bundled up in his snow suit. The 1977 B-100 has been sitting out all winter, just covered with a tarp. As I have said before, it never fails me. I grabbed the video camera and started to take a video after I started it. Don't you just love the sound of a properly tuned Kohler singing in the snow? View from the drivers seat as I plow snow in 3rd gear. Edited January 21, 2014 by rmaynard 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How much snow is it leaving? I have mine set at 1/8". That helps to clear any bumps or cracks in my driveway. Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theroundhousernr 590 #181 Posted January 21, 2014 Ok , Here's mine. My good ole gt14 , resting under the tarp after round one. We got about 4 inches so far. I tried plowing up my drive way this time and there was no problems. Pushed the snow right up it with no slipping. I don't even have weights , just chains, but these gt14's weigh a ton. I just bought this house and don't know the neighbors that well. I am starting to feel bad plowing my driveway and they are all shoveling. I guess I should be nice and ask .... lol I'm also a little mad my blower bearings didn't come yet as this would be a great time to try it out. I hope we get some more snow after they come!!

Theroundhousernr 590 #183 Posted January 22, 2014 Round Two. I am very impressed how this old horse runs. 8 years ago it was all kinds of trouble, now, its like a new tractor. I'm thankful for tearing into and just starting all over with the wiring , fuel lines, carb , governor and so on. Not to mention all the great info hear. Its 10 degrees. Fired right up , left it warm up, open the throttle and it never misses a beat. Not a single hiccup. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theroundhousernr 590 #185 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Thanks. Must be nice plowing with those foot controls. I have a John Deere 115 with foot controls but it's not built very heavy , so I'm not to keen on plowing with it. However, once you get used to the gt 14 controls, you start to like it. I can use the hydraulic lift with my pinky and the hydro lever with the other fingers. While keeping one hand on the wheel. Works out pretty good. I couldn't tell you the hours on it but I'm sure it's not low. Kyle Edited January 22, 2014 by Theroundhousernr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dandan111 31 #186 Posted January 22, 2014 Quick question. What do you al put on the bottom edge of your blades so it does not tear up the asphalt? I just installed that blade and it looks like it would tear the driveway. Just a thought Semper Fi Take a good look at that cutting edge and make sure it's not time to flip it over. Looks like it's pretty close in that picture. Have fun! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Usmc1968 30 #189 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Ohhh man, so I was going to take the beast out this morning to clean up the driveway and the battery was dead :no: :no: On the trickle charger now. I was having a blast last night, cleared both neighbors' driveways.. I guess that is what you get when it gets down to Zero and the date on the battery is 2010.

squonk 41,942 #197 Posted January 23, 2014 Something about naming Flat tops! And you guys with the paved driveways make me jealous. I have to plow my neighbor's for free to see what it feels like. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup. I named him that because of the stickers. They make it look like one of those transformers. Not sure if you think my drive is paved, but its just Ozarks rocks and dirt.

Theroundhousernr 590 #200 Posted January 25, 2014 I guess I just joined the snow throwing club. I finally got my parts in for the blower. Its nice a quite and doesn't sound like a coffer grinder anymore. The darn thing throws it over thirty feet. That's plenty for me and if to wet I can plow it with the gt14.
