Rebuilt the hydraulic lift valve for the second time today. Still have a small leak . At least it’s not as bad as the last attempt. May be time to see if someone has one to sale.

 

 

Installed new LED head and tail lights.

 

 

Going to give it a good workout with the leaf sweeper to ensure everything is okay before mounting the snow blade, weights and chains. 

Where can I get the LED headlights? They look great!

Just google - PAR36 LED Landscape Light Bulbs 12W 1280LM 80W. I got mine from the jungle site.

The 308 is coming along. One new Tractor Supply high back seat and it’s almost ready for winter.

That’s where I found mine too. Another place is Home Depot. Amazon is a bit cheaper though.

I put my snowblower on a couple of weeks ago. It’s a single stage blower for the XI series. I have a two stage but it is just to heavy for this old man to drag around. 
 

I had to make a connector for the chute rotation. It worked fine, but I wasn’t very impressed by how well it worked. 
 

so I dug around in some of my junk and found a power seat motor. So I made a new shaft to hook to the gear that rotates the chute. Ran the wiring, mounted a switch, and then tested it this morning. 
 

Works great. Now I think I’ll think about a cab.

Nothing I can tell someone in Buffalo about snow.

I can suggest that a seat motor is not weatherproof and now that you have it working you take some time to be sure that this one is protected from snow/sleet/freezing rain and all that other “lake effect” wet stuff you folks seem to thrive on 😁

i assumed it wasn’t. Hopefully I have it waterproofed enough. 
 

I sealed all the wiring connectors with silicone, covered the entire motor with tightly wrapped electrical tape, covered that with a nitrile glove, and then found something to use as a cover. Hopefully it all keeps it dry.
