tommyg 152 #6 Posted December 26, 2012 Just picked up this blower for my D180 about a month ago and spent some time doing some basic restoration to make it usable this winter. Plan to take it all the way down in the spring, but this will do to get me through this winter. Looking forward to some snow! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryanflathead45 11 #13 Posted December 27, 2012 Here are a couple pictures of the GT 14 after I finished plowing tonight. We had 7 inches of snow out in the middle of the driveway. Not counting the drifts. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,501 #14 Posted December 27, 2012 Ryan: Where was the seven inch snowfall in Indiana at today?? Nice GT 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryanflathead45 11 #15 Posted December 27, 2012 I'm in Knightstown. Kinda east central Indiana. It might have been deeper in the driveway than in other places. But I checked it with a yard stick. How much did you get in Greencastle? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cutlas3391 776 #16 Posted December 27, 2012 Well I haven't started the snow beast yet still waiting for the storm to past I have about 12 inches with pretty good sizes snow drifts here in Buffalo,NY 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My tractors wont push a thing without weights. Mike........ I have both weights and chains (o standby), haven't installed yet: cause I run my B-80 every weekend to pull my grand-daughter around in a cart. She loves it! But the driveway and lawn are not likin' to be torn up until it freezes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimmyJam 516 #18 Posted December 27, 2012 Well I haven't started the snow beast yet still waiting for the storm to past I have about 12 inches with pretty good sizes snow drifts here in Buffalo,NY Your "snow beast" wants more SNOW!!! I grew up in Tonawanda, NY and my sister lives in Lancaster, NY and my brother in Lockport, NY. I "get" wanting more snow!!!! Here in SE Massachusetts we get ICE!, but not yet...too warm! So just rain for now! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tommyg 152 #19 Posted December 27, 2012 About 7" here in NE Ohio. My D180/blower setup didn't even blink. I want more, too! My only regret is that my drive is too short. I was done in 15 minutes. Was considering moving on to the front yard, but thought the better of it. My neighbors all have gravel driveways or else I would have been over there, too! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankman 3,515 #22 Posted December 27, 2012 Grandson was very dissapointed, only 1" of white stuff. By morning was mostly gone. He was hoping for a driving lesson. Oh, yeah! Snowblower isn't mounted but, if needed would be my pleasure to put it on the '68 Raider 12. The Harleys are spit shined, heels too (like duh!) and ready for any action (work or play). '85 416-8 has the 48" blade, ready. '88 414-8 42" blade, all set to go. Both gassed up, new headlamps. Chains ready but, not mounted. Picking up 23 x 10.5 x 12's mounted tomorrow, filled, approx. weight = 90 lbs. each. Makes my recent lug nut "upgrade" necessary! Wouldn't want to play with 90 lb. tires! That and chains should do the trick for any "winter event." P.S.: Woolrich goose down for the driver. **Note** I like to keep the blades out of the drips; sitting on 2 x 4 blocks (as shown in image below). I often back up on 2 x's front to rear when the chains are on; chains out of the dribbles too! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hodge71 663 #24 Posted December 27, 2012 Got about 7" here. the 18 auto will be going to work in about an hour or so. Hopefully my lil guy can get a video of it workin on his iPad for me to upload later, but heres a couple pics from the weekend when I got her ready.... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodge71 663 #25 Posted December 27, 2012 Well heres a couple links to vids I posted...anyone who says these D series machines cant push snow is way wrong. I have no weight other than my butt and the factory weights on the back. 2 psi of air in the back tires and 25 in the fronts. I have few issues with traction, even on the private road in front of the house which I plow in its entirety. I dont know how it would act with 24 inches but it handled 7 of heavy wet snow without an issue....other than the carb/fuel pump and thats got nothing to do with anything other than a very tired engine that needs some serious TLC.... 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
