:text-welcomeconfetti:to the form.  Good bunch of folks here.  Somebody here has probably broken and fixed whatever problem you happen to come across on your tractor.  Lots of answers and advice here, just be sure to ask the question.

Usually one sprocket has a small amount of adjustment.  If the chain is well rusted and worn, replace it before it wastes the sprockets.

@83mercedes welcome to the site!  that chain set up is probably a # 40 chain and related sprockets , usually at tractor supply . most important part of blower use is LUBRICATION TO MOVING PARTS , never let that chain and gear set up dry out , I  lubricate mine before and after use , LUBRIPLATE chain and cable spray , is made for that . look over all related movement points. if it rusty , aerosol lube or chassis grease , make it better . just basic maintenance on a blower , pete

      1981 GT2500 Snowthrower Models
      By dave who poos
      Hello!
       
      I am looking for any and all snowthrowers that will work on my GT2500. I am trying to find one off FB marketplace but no one ever really posts the model number. Usually just the length. So I look for 42'' throwers but I don't know what will fit. A local seller has this for sale:
       
      He says its 42 but unaware the model, the Wheelhorse logo looks to be from the late 60's/early 70's? It looks like the below thrower:
       

       
      My question is if that thrower year/model will fit the GT2500. It looks pretty dang simple but I'm not sure. Someone mentioned something about the right size "Quick-hitch" in another post.

      417-8, 418-8 and various implements
      By jebeli
      Lets make a deal. The whole collection for $3000 or one tractor and half the items listed below for $1500. 
      I am moving to town so am willing to do a partial trade for a wheelhorse more approproiate for a suburban lot- lawn ranger, surburban models, bcs walking tractor, other?
      I could possibly deliver or meet half-way or ship.
       
      Both tractors run great and are in good working order. Second owner of both machines. I work with these machines everyday so they are not perfect but are, in my opinion, in excellent shape.
      42in high-shoot snow blower
      42 in rear discharge deck
      Snow blade
      Front mount deck hanger with 42in side discharge deck
      30in lawn seeder
      Brinly single bottom plow with cleavis or sleeve hitch
      50in grader blade
      Extra transmission

      Full set of tire chains for each tractor
      Various body pieces
      7.5 cubic ft pull behind cart - may need tires

      All required belts, pullys, brackets, manuals, too much to list.

      C-121 snowblower issue
      By Christof421
      Hello, I recently purchased a single stage snowblower attachment for my C-121.  Currently going through my first storm with it.   Made some passes down the driveway and blower was blowing a bit of snow backwards under the tractor.   Snow is very fine and light snow.   Wondering if anyone else has experienced this or has suggestions on remidies.

      Bagger mount weight bracket completed
      By Ifixoldjunk
      So I finally got around to finishing my custom bagger mount weight bracket conversion. It seems to hold weight really well.
      all that really went into it was a few pieces of steel tubing and a hunk of bar steel. The long bolts I used came with the weight off amazon. A Briggs and Stratton 50 pounder. I’d like to eventually find a nice cast weight, but for now this works great!
