kpinnc 16,989 #25401 Posted yesterday at 03:17 AM After removing the balance gears from my Bronco 14 a while back, the oil pan developed a pretty big leak. I didn't have a gasket at the time, so I had made one and it just didn't work. So today I pulled the engine and replaced the gasket. Gonna do some touch up on the engine before reinstalling. My Bronco looks sad with so many parts missing... 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fer sure, I cut right thru hard Penn Dot snow banks along Rt 30 with that thing taking small chunks at a time but it got the job done 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 19,762 #25405 Posted yesterday at 01:33 PM I think we should take up a collection to help @Ed Kennell buy another two stage. Save the rest of us a lot of snow work next year 1 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not my fault your tractor puked and you can't use it. So let's blame this nasty weather on Mike. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c-series don 11,198 #25411 Posted 23 hours ago Today I swept the two or so inches of snow that fell last night after I blew off about three inches yesterday. This is the first time in years I’ve used my sweeper to clean snow. Now that I’m retired from the snowplowing business I have time to mess around with this stuff. I used to come home from working and go to sleep. My driveway was always the last one to get done and usually a mess! It drove my wife crazy, but luckily for me she understood. One time I woke up and the driveway was plowed, I asked if she saw someone do it and she said no I did it with your truck I couldn’t wait any longer!! Anyway in this video you can see how well the sweeper works. If the snow hasn’t been driven on it sweeps it to dry clean blacktop. Obviously this only works like this in dry snow, and not slush. I also did a little clean up with the 418-C. IMG_1400.mov 6 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 54,438 #25412 Posted 17 hours ago From the we've seen it all files. Why on earth would someone cut this off? Of all the come thru here this one has been cobbled the most. Fortunately most are easy to reverse but still. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plows driveways, AND allows you to have as many tractors as you want, AND puts up with your shenanigans! She's a keeper! 16 hours ago, c-series don said: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might know this but when installing make sure the lever goes UNDER the cam lobe. Ask me how I know ... It helps when installing to tip the lever down when inserting and "feel" it hit the cam lobe. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cam tries to push pump arm farther than its range of motion. I could see it ripping the diaphragm or bending the pump arm or breaking the pump arm pivot, though I’ve never experienced this personally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
