When you say wheels you mean tires, right? I see you have different tires, you had turfs in your first pictures, second picture you have ag tires. How much are you selling them for? You did a great job buffing it, looks very nice.

Yes you are correct I meant tires , rims are still original, Want to be able to use machine on a new blacktop driveway without tearing it up with chain marks.had chains in the past on another machine and it looked terrible in the spring time when all snow was gone. A friend told me how to fill the tires with fluid for more weight, to be able to use the snow cannon, without being to front heavy and still having traction. So after doing this and making a stronger lift arm and a better and longer drive-shaft for less vibration I believe it is about as ready as it can get.

Brewster 725; It sounds like you have a very good setup for snow removal. I bet you can't wait for snow. Keep us updated on how well thing work for you with your Gravely.

Upon setting snow cannon on tractor I found the lift springs would make it so much easier for wedment rod to lift so I made a bracket that fits on blower frame to accommodate

Isn't the blower and other attachments PTO shaft powered. Did you have to get anything like a male yoke for your PTO shaft? Was your blower from a short frame or a long frame tractor?

Sir, The unit is PTO powered and I had a devil of a time trying to find parts for over a week and a half so I decided to improve them. The unit was from a 8163T, with short lift bar and a short PTO shaft. I improved the lift bar so it will not bend and I found a neapco yoke and shaft that would fit ,24 inches long, I pressed out the old universal joint from the short shaft and re pressed it into the new yoke.Compressed it is only 6 inches protruding. It has a lot less vibration now and much more shaft in the sleeve , which makes it a better fit. I also added a bracket for the lift springs
