Jim_M 178 #1 Posted June 6, 2009 I picked up this Charger 12 (converted Electro) a couple of weeks ago (thanks Scott). I spent some time on it today getting it ready for the fall leaf season. I got it running good, replaced all of the belts, pieced 2 decks together to make one very nice 48" deck for it and mounted the leaf vac on it. I used to put the leaf vac on my 416-H, but that leaf dust gets everywhere and I didn't want to wear out my favorite worker prematurely. Besides that the last few years the snow has started before the leaves were done falling and I haven't been able to put the snow blower and cab on the 416. Ordinarily that's not a problem, I have other tractors with blades, but there's always one good snow that makes me really wish I had the blower on a tractor. Problem solved! Now I can take the deck off the 416-H when the leaves start falling and put the blower and cab on while it's still warm enough to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #2 Posted June 7, 2009 Looks good Jim...I have a PeCo vac I'd like to convert over to a trash can setup like that. The hub caps look great to & will help keep the leaf dust out of the rims too. Are you needing a beltguard for the Electro? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 178 #3 Posted June 7, 2009 Yes I still need a belt guard. I thought I had one but I guess I was wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim_M 178 #5 Posted June 7, 2009 Good idea Kelly. I'll take another look around today for a belt guard bit more than likely I sold the one I thought I had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
