I bought the SB1164 and it does have the upper an lower holes for pin setup. I like it but have to get it on today. Oh boy, green an orange together till spring as No heated garage for me.

That is a lot of work to paint that whole tractor green!

Really? Are you on Mt. Washington or something? Looks like rain statewide, 'cept there.

I agree with Jay, heck it was 49 degrees here this afternoon. I think we got nearly 4 inches of rain today. As for the snowblower I am sure you will enjoy it, but not sure your neck will. When I had my SS-60 Woods blower there were times I would put the tractor in reverse and actually turn around and put my knees on the seat and steer the tractor with one hand behind my back.

Mt. Cardigan

ended up with a little over 6 befor rain but did get to try blower. AWESUME Neck did not bother me but only out a little over an hour.

Great glad the blower is working for you. You will still have snow banks, only difference is they will be forty or so feet away!

I have been thinking of getting a blower. How do these 3 pth units handle the wet snowstorms we get now? Do they clog up like my walk behind one or power through the sloppy stuff?
We have about 4-5 inches on the ground here now in Dorchester. I had to plow after work last friday...in the pouring rain with the sun shining! Wierd.

I haven't had any problems. If I know it is wet sticky snow, I spray the impeller, & chute with silicon, or similar type spray.

If it is snow/slush that has had a lot of rain soak in, I will up the RPM's. I usually run the blower around 1900-2100 RPM, but for that real wet heavy stuff I'll bump it up to 2300-2400 RPM.

I don't think I have ever really run my unit at 2600 RPM(540). The blower has eaten Everything I have put before it......even 2 kids toys and a piece of firewood...don't ask.

Just make sure you have some spare shear bolts, and more importantly, Remember where you store them!
