I think I'm ready for Winter this year! Bought this used Kubota G5200H, the Before photo was the advertising photo on Marketplace, then did some cleanup, repairs, and some painting, so I think it's ready for prime time! The repairs consisted of a new ignition switch, battery, battery cable, new tires, some linkage adjustments for the attachment arm, and filters. This was a fun project! Still a few little things to do, the gear cover on the snowblower, hitting the grease zerks, and adding some grease to the PTO chain and chute. In the Spring, I'll repaint the rims and the fender/footwell section.
Ready for Winter

I have to get my butt in gear and put my snowblower on my BX and my plow on the Mule! Snow will fly at some point here in NH!
That's a sweet find right there, nice.
I had a 26 hp craftsman about the same size with a blower, front tire chains really helped steering when blowing deep snow.

Great job! Always nice to see freshened up equipment.
I don't put on my blower until the first snowfall that I cannot drive through with with my 4 x 4. Last year was the first year that I had a good hard base that I was able to use my rear blade to fine tune it in the forward position. I week later it was all melted. 30 years ago it was common to have crippling blizzards which seem to be very rare now.

gee the blower stays ON my 'riding snowmachine' year round. The younger, fit crowd can have 'fun' removing MMM and attaching blower on ! Having dedicated machines sure saves on the back, knees.
I did build and install a 'winter windshield' on the BX23S. GREAT at blocking the wind AND the cold drizzle. also added 4 LEDs to it as well.
