We've had record setting rainfall here for the months of Sept and Oct, the yard is soft and even has standing water in some areas, and the leaves are wet and matted down. But I told the wife that tomorrow the leaf blower is coming out whether there's clothes on the line or not!! :D I've gotta...

I second what 200MPH says. For under $50 you can buy a 12vdc linear actuator and add it to your chute. It's not hard at all to figure out the mounting locations to utilize the full throw of the actuator. The actuators have built in limit switches so that if you mount it properly it will shut...

the stock oring is most likely a quad or square o'ring. Here's a couple of sites with info on the different materials, types and sizing charts. Maybe it might be of interest to others. Usually, you can take a micrometer and size the o'ring material cross section diameter along with the I.D...

Why don't you take one of your odd small size o'rings of the same material you replaced the factory one with, and place it in a small container (spray paint cover?) filled with your hydraulic oil. That way you could monitor it and see if your hydraulic oil reacts with the oring material you...

B737, My gut clenched up when I read your first sentence (overall impression) and thought OMG, what happened to the agrimetal blowers. Along with the guilt of recommending something that's not any good anymore!! But then you continued with some good points and being happy with it and those...

Sheepfarmer, sometimes you just gotta do what you have to do in order to keep peace in the neighborhood. :D

just like the old Gerber multi function tools that allow you to save the world, conquer the universe, and keep handy on your belt.....I consider my cell phone mostly a tool that can also communicate if I need to. Need to trouble shoot something: Google it. Need to see how something is done...

Hey, B737, thanks for sharing this photo and cell phone holder idea! With a little mod to the base this should work great for my phone on the B2650. Great idea!! David

No thanks needed, GeoBx2680, glad to share!! I think we'll have to start a club to promote these blowers. :D I first saw this being used here in the local cemetery and knew that's what I needed. After talking with the groundskeeper I found out who sold them and promptly bought one. It's...

I second the motion for more details and pics! Al, that is a super fab job! That would work well for my occasional needs, especially considering the prices of some of the retail models. Your design is simple (form follows function) and is mechanically elegant! :D

Couldn't agree more with you, Carl.:) Google is your friend, especially when starting from ground zero....or almost. Also youtube is full of instructional videos. For instance: If you can see the label on a part it might say 2N2904, for example. Google "2N2904" and it will tell you its a...

No thanks necessary, B737, but your welcome!! You nailed it with your description above, especially working around trees! And especially with it behind a hydrostatic drive where you can be going forward, stop, back up while turning around a tree trunk, and go forward again with just the push of...

Carl, that's an interesting and different clock mechanism. Evidently that circuit board is a timing circuit that sends an electrical pulse to that coil every 6 minutes......1/10 of an hour to jog that lever and the 1/10 hour wheel. If you could somehow find a schematic for that timing circuit...

Congrats, Chad!! It only gets better from here on out, too!! Pretty hard to contain the excitement, isn't it???

Congrats on your new purchase, B737!! You'll definitely like this compared to your backpak blower!! The learning curve is pretty quick. You'll be picking the windy days when from the right direction and the leaves will just fly. Hopefully the snow will hold off for a while so you'll get a...

Just happened to log in and see your post. Mine is an older model and its labeled as a BW 240. The HP rating isn't stamped on it. Not sure if the "240" means a 24 inch impeller or not. I would've guessed a little larger, maybe a 26 or 28 inch impeller. When I purchased it around 1990-91...

Hi Carl, I used to work on similar instruments years ago. Anything can be repaired if its not too bad off. If nothing catastrophic has happened, these generally quit working due to a few different reasons. Usually the clock oil or lubrication thickens with age or becomes contaminated with...

Dave, I had looked at those and they'd work perfectly. If only they could have been rolled up along with the winter fronts. Unfortunately there's just no way to include them in the packaging for these sets. But this way everyone gets to choose their own colors. :) Thanks for posting that pic...

Now why didn't I think of that??! But wait....I had, and it's in the write up. You'll have to do a little research, like you say, and read the whole thread. :D Apparently these B2650's are much more efficient than your larger Kubota toys and put all but the last drop of horsepower into the...

Thanks, Mikester!!
