I actually had two snowblowers years ago- the old smaller WH versions. Often was told to set them in a puddle with dish soap and blow bubbles. I love NC snow.

8ntruck 7,004 #13236 Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, Horse Newbie said: I hear you guys talk about "no name". What's that ? The no names were early 70's machines. Mine happens to be a 1973 14-8. It is a 14 hp machine with an 8 speed transmission. They came in several hp ratings and 8 speed or automatic transmissions. It did not have a model name like 'Charger', 'Electro', or 'Lawn Ranger' - hence the nickname of no name. The no names are the forerunner of the C series.

I also described it on the forum about a year ago. It might even be earlier in this thread. Basically, it is a panel long enough to cover the discharge on my 42" SD deck. On the front end, there is a tab bent 90 degrees and drilled to match an existing hole in the deck. On the back edge of the plate, there is a triangular tab bent on a 45 degree angle to vertical so it matches the angle of the deck, again drilled to match an existing hole in the deck. There was also some cut to match and beat to fit work done on the plate before I was happy with the final fit. In use, it tends to pile the leaves up in front of the deck and blow clippings out from under the front corners of the deck. Not a perfect mulching system, but good enough for what I wanted.

"No Name" horses are 1973 model year only. 68 to 72 had Charger Raider Electro etc... 1974 is when the "Letter series" started. A. B. C. D. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do use the trick you told me once. starting on low rmp, slowly releasing th clutch and then add in the power, a bit like you do when driving a stick car/truck. Also sold a snowplow braket online. I made the pakkage ready today to go out with the mail tomorrow. It's going to someone who has never heard of redsquare, so I gave him a litlle hint on what to do. Translation from dutch: Thanks for your purchase! Become a Red Square member! Greetings Maxwell-8 Edited October 21, 2021 by Maxwell-8 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I first got my 855 running I tried it around the yard, with no deck, and almost dumped myself off the back of the seat on the first launch. Front wheels were definitely off the ground,. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
