Sympathy and empathy to you, brother.

 

I'm running with no lift and last night, in the heavy wet stuff (prime chute cloggin') I broke the chute aiming cable. Limping along... I'll try to get those squared away before the next dump. Chute aimer first, of course, as I have lived the better part of last winter without a lift ant worked out ok.

And I've broken that drive chain before... it was hard threading the new one, if I recall.

Here's to dry motors and slick chutes...

and storms as safe and fun as possible to you all,

We finally got a snow storm that required the snow blower, (Its an old Craftsman with a spare E20 motor I had)  I dug it out an put it on the tractor, an noticed the motor was frozen.  I opened it up and it had ICE in it.  It was stored outside for the summer and was rained on.  They are not waterproof!  Now I have to get out the heat gun then emery paper the rust out of it.  I put on an old series wound motor I had and tackled the snow.  And the master link on the drive chain snapped.  UGH  One of those days.
