What have you done with/to your GC Series 2300, 2400, 1700 Tractor TODAY

[GeneV]

A lot of times it is the simple things, that make other things much nicer to deal with.

Hi Mo, yeh totally!

I was meaning to do this for a while...

No that is a good idea!

That痴 about what mine looks like. Luckily all my leaners are smaller, and I can stay away from them.

Just using the bucket with the thumb grapple and the PTB.

Doing 3 up/down slope. A friend will come over and cut the cross slope trails (2) with his 4 wheeler.

Taking it slow and doing most of the cutting going up hill.

That is one of the smaller leaners here. ugh, will go out and do some more with the brush cutter and worry about the leaners in the spring.
Thanks for the detail.

Dave, your link took me to their general page. I'm sure all the tractor supply stores have a similar layout, around here the shelf with all the pins is at the back wall of the store.

My previous postings for the new UHMW MF 2340 Dozer Blade skid shoe project are #671, #672, #675, #678, #681, #701, & #705.

And now I'm beginning the new UHMW MF 2360 Snowblower skid shoe project.

Upon thinking about this awhile, I'm decided to duplicate the Dozer Blade skid shoe size, 4" x 10", and use the same square slip tubing, and also use the same round spacer washers for height adjustments.

I'm going to use some 1/4" plate that I already have that's a trapezoid shape and bolt these using the existing skid shoe holes/bolts plus 2 more holes/bolts near the top of the new plate.

I'm going to use the 2 UHMW skid shoes from the Dozer Blade this winter and make sure they work ok for me before I fabricate 2 more of these skid shoes next spring for the snowblower.

Here's a couple of pictures of the start of this project showing the backside of the snowblower, and a sketch of the project:

(for this project update see post #787)



Also:

irvingj, my snowblower risers I added are only 12" tall.

And I'm going to add a UHMW cutting edge to my snowblower but it looks like I can only use a 1/2" thick piece.

Also I cannot bolt the existing cutting edge to the top of the UHMW because it seems there's a conflict with the snowblower augers.

I don't know if it's the same for your snowblower?
