Machria 77 #9451 Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Already done fella's! Got bushing this afternoon, installed.. worked like a champ. Of course, I can't get the GT14 started, but that's another story. I just got my carb back, I had sent it out to get cleaned out, and fixed (the bowl had a hole in it and needed new gasket...). Re-installed, fixed fuel tank, no starty! Got a spark, getting fuel..... what gives? Edited February 26, 2021 by Machria 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy N. 2,154 #9456 Posted February 27, 2021 Installed a quick fix to the seat bracket connection on the rear part of the hoodstand that is always cracked or in this case missing on my 418-A. 1/8" thick metal primed and painted. Did have to add longer 1/4"-20 screws to the shift plate. This requires very little disassembly and no welding. Also replaced the hydraulic fan. Not exactly sure what happened when I was snow blowing a couple weeks ago. The snow is currently melting and I found all the tips of the blades in different places in my driveway. I did find the inside tail (3 chain links worth) of my tire chains loose and wonder if that just enough length to reach the fan. 8 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikMacMike 479 #9463 Posted February 28, 2021 Well I finally blew up th snow blower, right when I needed it. Only got half the snow removed. So now we get all this warm weather and everything is melting fast creating ice everywhere. That was a few days ago so yesterday I went and got a new 10 foot peice of Renolds chain, thankfully its made in England and not china land crap. Well it went together with out a hitch and figured since I had the Ol Beast, now named Aggie. I have Big Red and Aggie hehehe. So I couldnt stop there, I just had to do some tweeking. These darn single stage blowers dont really throw the snow and when in slush or wet snow forget it. So I found some 2 inch wide by 3/16" thick flat bar and made a lower scraper blade, drilled and bolted it into place, then I tweeked the auger. We wake me up and toss me into tomorrow, everything is slush and below that its3 inches of water. Ahhh the hell with it I say so out of the shop I go, reved Aggie up, mind you Aggie is just a 10 horse turning this single stage blower, I didnt take the pics Maw did, but heres the difference, 1st pick was just before blowing it up, the rest are from today. And Rock isnt the word, I dont know where mother nature lives but I know this much, I can send the slush snow ice or water right back to where she came from hahahahah. Ops all I can do is 2 pics sorry guys. The second pic is throwing super heavy wet slushy snow 25+ feet into the air. 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well considering a new one from toro for my tractor is 400 dollars, less than 200 is very reasonable. If i didnt use the machine a lot i wouldnt care 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This Kobota seat came on the 315-8 I had for a couple years and the same basic seat can be had from TSC, the seat I put on my 520 came from Northern Tool, Michigan Brand, but basically an exact copy of the TORO version on my bought new Anniversary 520H. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/countyline-kubota-seat-530000bk-cnl 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes my 95 has them, they were an additional bolt on option not always added, and WH had 2 styles the 2 piece like on mine or the one piece bracket like on older B/C series tractors, I put mine on a year or so after installing the seat, most times IMO/experiences are more in the way than actually useful, more of a "cool" factor, good luck and hope you enjoy yours.
