I'm new to this but if its a lighter snow with my dads D160 with a 54" snowblade he made at work all powered by the hydro and if we get alot of snow I'll use the GT-1142 repowerd with a E140 onan because the old Briggs went belly up soon it will be restored and have a p220 onan I'm building

Someone asked about a video of our 520H with the Honda GX630 snowblowing. Here it is. Snow was only about 4-5" deep but it throws deeper stuff just as far.

Im using a 1971 Ariens walk-behind..just got in from clearing the driveway:

I also have a 1964 Wheel Horse model 854 tractor.

I would like to find a plow for it, to use for smaller amounts of snow, and slush..

I will probably begin looking for a plow next spring/summer..

send your pics to your email account. Save the pics on your laptop, then upload to Red Square.

Had planned on using the C-120 earlier this winter, but just now got it set up the way I wanted it.  Tonight was it's first workout in the snow and It did pretty well.

Google decided my picture needed some animation, and I have to say I agree...

Ha! - Google is always watching!  I tried to frame those photos so they looked normal, but I wondered if anybody would notice that screen door.  The snow helps cover up a few things too.  

 

There are plenty of videos of the "guy" that did that.  He was really quick, and got into all our houses at once, LOL.  You can't keep a good 'horse down though...

Nice video!

We need video of this snow blowing to be at least 5 or 10 minutes... ;)

I'll try to get a longer, better video next snowfall. Rich was almost done when I remembered to do the video. This Honda powered 520H with the 44" two stage blower really look's cool when there is a substantial amount of snow to blow.

Used this cub last winter, sold it because my drive was too small. I do it faster with the 42"on the 416-8 than with the 54" on the big cub.

This year the 416 is in process of donating its onan p216 and steering to swap onto a 520h I got with a shot engine. Since we got 5" this week and expecting 8-12" this weekend I've got the 42" blade on my 90 520h. I don't have a plow extension, so if I can't angle to the right because the blade hits the tire. If I angle left out doesn't rub the tire, but it's so close it pulled my roller chain off.

Either way, the tractor is wider than the blade when it's angled.

Here's a shot of the 416-8 with the blower from last year...

I have the 1980 version of this machine. Mine is still down for a rebuild after more than 30 years of service it is time for a repower. Ariens is the best in the business as far as snow throwers are concerned, none better!

Both are dressed and ready for anything that winter may throw you!!! Nice.

Rick - did you make the actuator for the snout, or did Duke make one for you?

I made the actuator up myself, it was a fun little project.  It saves me a lot of jumping off the seat.

Borrowed a 48" blade from my brother since he's determined not to plow this winter. Eye candy:
