Plowed with GT-14 for first time... bad pics

Recommended Posts

I got the new key switch from OldRider and it worked perfectly. I got the GT-14 all back and wired right. I removed the wires to the accessories and lights because they were all shot. I'll add them back later. But, after getting the tractor started, i put the chains on and plowed out the driveway.

 

For some reason, my camera was not cooperating at all and the pictures were the worst I have ever taken. Sorry for that, I only discovered it after I had put everything away.

 

Anyway, here is the beast in question, with the plowed (and possibly graded) driveway.

 

In terms of the hydraulic lift handle, I discovered that in full detent, the edge of the knob would be below the height of the console plate. It must be either worn, or when they replaced the hoses in the past (I have an old invoice for it) maybe they attached the valve at a bad angle? Anyway, I thing the solution will be to take the level out and bend it up slightly improve the clearance for the short term. I am not ready to dig into the valve yet.

:text-coolphotos:    When I saw the heading I was expecting a freshly turned garden plot. Sorry you guys in New England are being snowed on, but glad you got the problem resolved and had some quality seat time.

The GT14 is a beast for pushing snow. Looks like you've still got an ice pack. Good job!
