pfrederi 17,741 #1 Posted February 14, 2021 All my snow horses are Charger/Electros. A few years ago I converted one to a K341 for snow blower duty. I picked the one that had the most tired K301. It has worked out really well but only used a couple times up to this year. This year she is getting regular use. What I didn't notice back then was that WH changed the design on later units giving them a different hoodstand that will hold a much bigger gas tank. The K341 sucks some fuel when she is working the blower. The 12hp plow tractors seem to use almost nothing by comparison and they have the bigger tanks. If I was really motivated i might swap hood stands...not that motivated besides refueling pit stops are a good excuse to stop for a hot toddy. 10 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,164 #2 Posted February 14, 2021 Paul, My 1267 had the metal tank and drank fuel like a fish. I discovered later that the timing was way late. Never got a real chance to see if the fuel mileage changed because I turned it into a show mobile and then the motor decided it didn't like spark plugs anymore. My 16 thumper with the blower used about 2/3 of a gallon in about an hour this last storm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All you need to do is add a steel plate add get a plastic tank. No real need to change everything. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
