From a plumber's perspective, $25 an hour is not much. Hauling equipment, burning fuel, wear and tear, and laying pipe I would be at $100 an hour. Most plumbers charge more than that just to break out their hand tools. I worked for a company in Charlotte, NC that charged $200 an hour to just...

I may be talking to myself here but I changed my mind. After a day of research I will go ahead and build my own setup. The most difficult piece to find is a worm or gear to turn my chute sprocket. I have two different possibilities to hook this up, but this is the way it should be... This...

I believe I'll try to match up my own kit for a chute deflector seeing that the kit from Loftness is $340. Is that a reasonable price for a cylinder and 2 long hoses?

Today I decided to buy the hydraulic kits for my Loftness snowblower. Not a cheap option but unfortunately a must have. I only paid $900 for the blower, but the kits will run me $800 including 4 long hoses :eek:. I'm searching for a open center two handle spool. I found a few around $150...

It's ridiculous but hopefully it will throw some snow! Luckily the B205 blade is just as heavy duty so acts as a good counterweight.

Check out the Loftness line. I picked up a used one in July, and it's as heavy duty as you can get. The steel construction is so over killed that I don't believe that it will ever rust through. I haven't used it in the snow yet, but the reviews I read are outstanding. The only thing I...

I think the used set was around $200 for the pair. Let me know where you can get them for $220 a tire! That's not bad better than $300 on eBay. I was going to check with a local tire guy, but they seem to be expensive side even for car tires. When I buy some tires I'll probably go for the 10...

You will make your money back in no time. I know people that spend more than that on heating oil in one season!

Well that's good to know. My pops is an old Vietnam marine so he likes his place spotless. It's old farm land with stone walls and old sugar maple trees that border it everywhere. To top it off its on a side of a valley so the strong winds bring the leaves over from 1/4 mile away. The leaves...

Re: Leaf/Grass V I agree, the 3 point system I found did have a secondary gas motor! I think it held three 55 gal barrels but that would fill up in no time. Plus my pops is getting old and I don't want him lifting full barrels to dump them so a box trailer modified to dump would be better...

If I was to buy one I would attach it to my father's b2910 seeing that he has the property that would need it. Not to mention finding those blades for my 48" MMM would probably be hard to find but maybe not. I'm sure there would have to be a custom mod to attach it, but that's not a problem...

Hello all, I have a good question for the upcoming leaf raking season. Has anyone ever used a Vac on a MMM discharge to shed and collect leaves? Does it do a good job or not worth it? Do you need special blades? I've seen a few nice used 3 point hitch systems with a secondary motor and...

eBay had the best prices that I have found they are hard to find used. There was an add a few weeks ago on craigslist in western mass that had 2 used it may still be there. $300 a tire is tough to swallow but they should last a very long time. I believe the tires on my old 7100d are over 30...

Bite the bullet, I did. I picked up 2 off ebay last month and they are of much better construction than the stock hubs.

Thanks for leed! I think ill opt for a radiator with brass tanks seeing that is what the stock one is. The wifes outback goes in for a brake job and tires tomorrow so little orange will have to wait a few weeks.

Very good point. I have the same mentality of getting what you pay for. There is only one radiator shop near me and I haven't contacted them yet. It seems to me that radiator repair shops are almost extinct. Like I said before the radiator is almost 40 years old so I think it's time for a...

My father has a B2910 with multi trac loaded turfs and it always works well. He has a long steep gravel driveway and never had a problem. Hes had it over 10 years and 2 years ago realiized he doent need to have the backhoe on for weight. We live in the mountains of western mass and get our...

I just double checked and they are the same kit so look into that extra o ring that is probably your problem.

I just rebuilt my lift cylinder on a b205 Dozer blade last week and I believe they are the same cylinder. I noticed you had a left over O ring. Are you sure you that you didn't miss one? Seeing that you purchased a kit it should be correct. I'm guessing is a small diameter ring that you...
