Made a new lift link for the 1257 with the HY2 unit. Wanted something with a little adjustment to it. Still needs a little paint but works good with dozer blade.

Got the C-120 ready for the impending storm they're forecasting. Since it's Thanksgiving weekend, I'm thankful that the hydraulic lift I installed is working great! And I got the last of the leaves picked up, which frees up the C-141 in the unlikely event we get enough snow to hook up the snowblower.

Well getting things prepped for the inevitable snow. Went out and put a battery in my bronco 14 with the 18hp Briggs vanguard v-twin in it. Started right up and ran exceptional after sitting for over a year. Last time i swapped the battery out I ground the positive terminal to the choke cable. It melted through the metal casing but the wire on the inside was still good. So being cheap as I am I redneck fixed it with a stick off the tree outside the garage and some electrical tape. Worked like a charm. The choke works like it should now. Temporary but probably long term fix 😂

Got this Super Scooper plow all set up!

Excellent use of hexstock instead of round rod. Don't forget to add a dab of grease on the Clevis pins. You need to tighten the lower jam nut; the threads are in tension and if left that way vibration and weight will strip the threads engaged between the clevis and link over time. How much thread engagement do you have there as shown? Should be at least 2X the thread diameter... If that joint fails, the blade suddenly drops.

Looks plenty strong too!

Little 856 really likes its new to it wheels and tires.

I think I found my issue. When I traced the wires from the pto switch, I found the wire to the brake safety switch was worn and making contact with the lift cylinder. Replaced the wire and rerouted it so it wouldn’t happen again. Got too cold to try to fire it up, but I’ll verify tomorrow to make sure that solved the problem.

This has been a really interesting post. Don't have much in the way of before/after pictures but one thing I observed is that almost every shop is packed full just like mine. I'd be at home in any of them.

You could always weld 2 rods on each backside. The bottom hole circular to match rod diameter. Top hole slotted arc to allow the side panels to float with the terrain. Washers (or plates?) and pins for easy removal.

If you have bearings on both ends this is a kit I have used with good results. A raw edge cogged belt is best for a S/G.

Anyone ever seen one?

Glad you weren't hurt! Definitely gives me pause, and again grateful for the chance to make sure it doesn't happen to me.
