Sparky-(Admin) 21,075 #1 Posted November 24, 2015 I spent some time in the garage getting my new 314 into winter mode. Added 50# cast iron outer wheel-weights and cast iron pipe flanges to the inside of the rear wheels for about 64#'s each wheel. A brand new battery and a 48" plow up front and she's done! My GT-1600 will get its winter dud's on next weekend.....then its just sit back and wait for the white stuff1 Mike.......... 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shallowwatersailor 3,213 #2 Posted November 24, 2015 I like the use of the flanges for weights. That should be pretty good! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
