AHS 1,440 #1 Posted December 6, 2019 Duh! I need a Wheelhorse; one for snowblower, one for plow, one for lawnmower, and one for grader... I wish! I need to switch the plow to my kinda refurbished snowblower. New paint in the blower box, new paint on the chute, all new bearings, new blower sprocket, 2 new idler idler gears, a new chain. Auger is not painted ( that will happen this July!) too late in the season, snow can come at any moment now! Oh does anyone have a chain guard in the front they wanna sell me? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be really nice if you knew where there was some c-series stuff that you could have so you could build your very own c160... like if you were to trip over a 16 horse somewhere.

AHS 1,440 #12 Posted December 6, 2019 Plow off, snowblower on, and it works! New seat on and old seat linkage on, instead of that new garbage that they call seat linkage! The seat was moved to far forwards and the seat bolts were odd, ( not 7” x7 1/2) and the key switch for not mowing backwards, I connected those wires together a long time ago!👍😄 I’m ready to go snow blowing! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 3 seconds I got to sit it! I can see the use for the serrated washers...I made the chain to tight and then loosening it is a nightmare...it’s either too loose or too tight!

The steel companies around me don't sell small pieces either but we have several fabricators of custom trucks phone repair shops that will... HD and Lowe's in my area don't sell a piece big enough for a 48 inch plow blade at the brick and mortar store although you may be able to order it online and have it shipped to store.
