decksetter 50 #330 Posted January 6, 2015 Well my 416h that I put the blower on decided yesterday it didn't like having spark and the other 416h I put the blade on decided all 4 chains wanted to come loose and the angle rod fell off this morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desko 552 #332 Posted January 6, 2015 The D160 this motor isnt in the best of shape the valve seat has fallen out on the same side twice untill the valve fused with the seat (some how) surprisingly but it gets the job done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,495 #333 Posted January 6, 2015 I did get out in the snow today! Drive only had about 2 1/2 to three inches but I was able to use the 314-8 Wheel Horse and 42 inch -five sector snowplow for the first time! It worked pretty well and I really like the extra angles on the five sector front end. Looking forward to some more use of the 314 this winter! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
varosd 1,185 #334 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Here in Central PA, the maintenance guys came by with a leaf blower! dry, fluffy snow but only 1 1/2 inchs so far. not "plow worthy" per the Wife. I got smart, since last time she plowed before I even got home, I have since took off the blade portion.... Edited January 6, 2015 by varosd 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
decksetter 50 #335 Posted January 6, 2015 My custom 10 minute tall chute conversion worked surprisingly well. Now I have to shorten the chains on the other tractor with the blade on it and fix the angle rod. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aaubrey96 0 #336 Posted January 6, 2015 This is my new toy for moving what the 414-8 can't. 1948 ford 9n with a back blade. My new neighbor wanted to charge $60 per hour of plowing this winter. So I bought another tractor instead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forest Road 594 #337 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) I'm late to the party. I'll have the 314 chained and weighted sitting in the shed. Worked well last weekend in the iced up snow banks. And a pretty awesome time towing the kids around. Edited January 6, 2015 by Forest Road 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shallowwatersailor 3,213 #344 Posted January 6, 2015 Well, I never posted photos of the full crew to ward off the snow. We were expecting a dusting so I decided to just use the C-105. It was actually over 3". Should have realized it when the schools closed for today. But still not enough to break out the diesel. I did three driveways and now realize what a difference a 48" blade vs. 42" blade makes, plus the the convenience and speed of a 5xi. Frozen feet but had some fun! By the way, no chains, Carlisles that need to be replaced, and a 30 degree driveway at my neighbor's house. Having four suitcase weights help. Easy application of power does the trick. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,809 #345 Posted January 6, 2015 Great video John, . Looks like all the snow was on the South side of the Mason Dixon. I was down your way on Sat morning to pick up a 953 @ Damascus, Md. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
varosd 1,185 #346 Posted January 6, 2015 18:00 update. Came home, put the blade back on and plowed our driveway and the elderly neighbors driveway. left the 416-H out in the cold for the rest of the week so I can get my car in. 5 tractors just don't fit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RMCIII 838 #349 Posted January 7, 2015 WT heck - the thread blew up. There are so many more posts today! Awesome job everyone. Lane, John, Don, Tristan, Ranger, Ed, Forest, and whoever else I may have left out.... You all got some seat time..... None for me yet! Ed, I gotta say, that heater is rigged. Or you had it setting on the muffler just before you took the photo I have to admit, kind of jealous of the Claas. I am betting that will definitely send the snow into another county!
