This winter since I have 2 Horses, a 78 C-81 and a 79 C-111, had 2 tractors set up for clearing snow, the C-81 with 42 inch blower and the C-111 with a 42 inch blade, I decided to change. My C-81 unfortunately suffered a failure in the tranny the other day, only leaving me with the C-111 with plow, so today I decided to put the blower on the C-111 and have that as my snow fleet until the C-81 can get repaired. Here are a couple of pics I snapped of my 79 C-111 with 79 42 inch single stage blower, 50 lb wheel weights I got from Ken B., and 2 link tire chains.

The last one I had that broke the high-low shift liver was the reduction gear had broke in 1/2, still available from toro at about $90 Decided to buy another 8 speed for $50 and just replace it. Less work and cheaper on the pocket book.

^{Looks good! Nice tool box too:)}

Thanks! That is just a box I used for a while at work before it got too small to hold all my tools. I have this now:

Now you can get ready to take that off and put the mower deck on since we are not getting any snow this year

Steve,

I know if I take the blower off we will get snow!
