My blower didn't have a deflector either. Was stupid expensive through Kubota. I installed a linear actuator with a switch on the dash. Never thought I would use it and was I wrong. When the wind is blowing in your face I deflect it as low as possible to keep the snow out of my face. Probably...

I'm using a BX2755HD 55" front mounted on my B2601. Perfect size and always does the job. I find with the heavy wet snow a larger blower would plug up.

The other big question is why was it taken apart at 144 hrs?

I think what your describing is your hydraulic drive amd its normal. Called hydro whine.

From your first post with you showing the two fittings, the new fitting is definetily thicker wall as per your picture. Why do you suspect its not correct?

Not to correct NIW as he is right. But most hvac joining of copper is done with silfos. Silver soldering is not usually required. I truley believe certain tasks should be left to the professionals. Hvac is one of them. If you don't have the tools and don't know what your doing then stop.

All hvac fittings and or pipe should be type K. K is a thicker wall copper that is the industry standard for refrigeration. Sure you could use the thinner wall copper and it may not have an issue, until it does. Say your system is using R410a and your fan fails driving the pressure up. Do you...

Have a very similar blower and did as you suggested. Used por15 on the inside of chute but also lined only the top side of the chute with a piece of ptfe. This will be my 7th season and have yet to break a shear pin. Driveway is gravel approximately 360'. Takes a bit longer and care until it's...

I assume you have the tools and the knowledge to install the newer unit? You installed a new drier and evacuated the system?

You didn't mention this. Make sure all your power and ground cables are in good shape with clean secure connections.

Great upgrade. For your own safety I would radius all the corners. For me I only have to look at something sharp and then I'm bleeding.

Don't use neverseize on anything that has to be torqued. It acts as a lubricant and you will end up over torquing.

B2601. Thought as you that something weird was happening. I even convinced myself that I put the knob in the wrong spot. You get used to it moving around.

Glad it worked for you.

Why not fill the hole in the ornament with jb weld and then use the double sided tape as you suggested.
