HeyMrP 83 #1 Posted January 19, 2017 So I ordered a spring from good ole' Glen Pettit here on Red Square and my package arrived today. It felt like Christmas morning when I opened the box and all these goodies came out! Thanks Glen. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeyMrP 83 #6 Posted January 19, 2017 So on a tip from Jay Bee I moved my flag up to the top hole, which by itself made lifting the blower easily 50% easier. Next I installed the spring from Glen Pettit, which again made it even easier. Now it's practically light! Thanks again everyone! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 5,809 #7 Posted January 19, 2017 And if you have a gravel drive, this will help the blower float on the top VS digging in and throwing gravel. Downfall is it will float over hard packed snow instead of blowing it. My old Ford had 2 large springs that made the 2 stage blower seem very light. It would float over the snow at the end of the drive where the snow plow threw it in instead of blowing it. Good thing about lift springs is you end up with more weight pushing down on front wheels so steering is better. Cleat 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
