Okay, thanks. I don't think either of the two hyd filters had a magnet.

Great, thanks....

Uhm... I don't recall a magnet. Where is the magnet? Could be two stacked??? I don't see a magnet on the old filter.

Yesterday, I completed the 50-hour service on our LX3310. One strange thing occurred when changing the H660-36060 hst filter (OEM filter from dealer.) When installing the filter by hand, I felt contact of the gasket to the filter mount, and within another 3/8 - 1/2 turn, the filter bottomed...

Deer hunting near Wikieup AZ last October. Spotted "Happy Cactus"...

Photo of the brackets off the blower. It's not really a dolly, just two brackets. I had about 54" of scrap 1 1/2" by 1/4" thick angle iron. Cut in half and cut each of the four vertical square corners off at a 45. On each of the two 27" angle iron pieces I drilled two castor mounting holes...

Sure thing. I'll post photos next week when the brackets are back from powder coat. It's not really a dolly, just two brackets. I had about 54" of scrap 1 1/2" by 1/4" thick angle iron. Cut in half and cut each of the four vertical square corners off at a 45. On each of the two 27" angle...

Do you mean the blower with castors off and skid shoes on like this photo? Or, do you mean photo with castors still attached but blower lifted? The brackets are at the powder coat place...I should have them back middle of next week. I'll take other photos then if needed. BTW, I did also...

The snowblower is LX2963. Dave

Your castor adapter is a simple and great idea... I built the same for our snowblower today.

Metal snow blower skid shoes may mark-up the concrete drive and asphalt culdisac. Made some hard plastic (UHMW) skid shoes.

Got it ready for winter...

Do you use chains?

I will be using our new tractor and front mount snowblower this winter. I have R14 tires and rears are loaded. Pretty flat concrete drive and parking area. Our snow comes in around a foot at a time and usually temps around freezing, so heavy snow is the norm. I'm trying to determine if I...
