Ok, here's my attempts at a snowblower mod. My gravel driveway always has soft spots where the skids just dig in, no matter what time of the year (no heavy traffic over entire driveway/parking). Skids just do not work. I also have some uneven spots from grade differences and minor washouts. I...

I hope it's at least 18 year old stuff....:D

Hm, some turbines will run on diesel fuel, so why not put those into a tractor for some real "noise"? A few weeks ago, I saw a home-built helicopter (in progress), where the engine was a small diesel turbine. Engine was light weight, hence selected for the two man, homemade chopper... I had...

For a high efficiency gas furnace (or Propane furnace), there are two blowers. One is called the "inducer", which sucks in the outside air into the firing chamber and expels the exhaust gases, then your main blower to distribute the heat thru the house. I had to replace my inducer this past...

Ah, looks like a nice Beaver aircraft. I loaded and fueled many of those in my early years (1969-1970) in Northern Ontario. Worked with Rusty Blakey, a well known Canadian bush pilot. I watched him land a Norseman aircraft that had an exhaust fire, and he feathered the prop just right and blew...

Looks like you are talking about the auger shaft. That should not be too expensive to order a new one. The drive shaft and gearbox assembly is what costs lots of $$$, which vary in design based on the serial number (age of blower). Being "drilled out" means they probably did not use the proper...

Dony, those look like the wheels are about 2" +/- wide. How do they work? Any issues with them sinking into the gravel, or do they stay rolling on surface ok? Your setup looks similar to what I want to do, but I do need swivel wheels as I have a turn-around driveway and secondary paths to clear...

I think I can get 6" air filled wheels to fit the trailer jacks. I've also seen some wheels that have cast inner rims with grease zirks and rubber treads. Only thing to check is that the wheels can carry the weight, and are free to spin around when I back up and hit uneven spots. Advantage of...

I'm looking for a similar solution for my BX2750 blower. Loose gravel always causes problems for me, no matter what skids or at what height. Skids always dig into the gravel, making them useless in the beginning of the season, or when we have a short melting period. What I'm looking at is...

All cylinders leak down a bit, nothing is ever 100% in those. This is normal. My stabilizers leak down after a few days unless I strap them up with a simple bungee cord. Same for the bucket, it slowly starts to uncurl over a week or more. No external leaks, just that the piston inside the...

Regardless, it is good beer, and easy to find in Ontario. In fact, it is one of the most popular beers in the Netherlands. People think of "Heineken" as the Dutch beer, but locals there think of it as their cheap export, and Grolsch is more of their national beer... BTW, the "G is pronounced as...

Re: COMPLETE Kubota Service guide Great video Tom. I saw a few things I missed last spring, but will check this year. (only +50 hrs on it since last year)

I agree somewhat with Wolfman. However, if you vent the LAV, it "could" be considered a "wet vent" for the toilet, meaning that the LAV vent is used for the toilet since it is often not possible to use both at the same time. This LAV vent would also provide the pressure relief when the pump...

Look at the head of the bolt you took out. No markings on the head is usually grade 2. Three lines, is usually Grade 5. 6 lines on the head is usually grade 8. Most grade 8 bolts (except the black ones), have that yellow/gold color... Grade 5 are usually just silver in color. Again, the manual...

One might need the serial number as well. For example, I have two BX2750D snowblowers, one old (broken), and one new. Each uses a different shear bolt for the blower due to different design changes over a few years. One uses a necked down Gr8 bolt (old), the new uses a shorter, regular GR5 bolt...

Welcome. You will find lots of help and tips on this forum. Be sure to check in often....

A 5000W generator cannot generate (steady state) more than 5000W. a 240V circuit at 20A is 4800W. You cannot load the 120V circuit at 20A at the same time your 240V is drawing 20A, that would be 4800+2400 = 7200W. (or 4800W plus two 120V at 20A = 9600W) The 20A is probably based on the maximum...

Guys, be very careful with transfer panels, there are two types due to two different wiring schemes for generators. Your typical portable gas generator, either cord start or electric start, usually have their neutral bonded to the frame, and that frame must be grounded. In many jurisdictions...

SDK, no one is really talking confiscation, just "regulation". But yes, a country that is rooted in "gun culture" will always have to live (and die) with their culture until it is changed, somehow (for better or worse). Regulating firearms is a lot easier then banning or confiscating them. Not...

Wolfman, most non-US people stay away from any "gun" discussion because we don't want to get flamed by those at the other end of the spectrum... As this non-US comedian says (his words, not mine), about 50% of US people agree with him, 20% maybe get the satire/comedy part, 20% just stare blankly...
