Can you get a syphon going and just suck the stuff out of the bottom of the tank?

The problem with a blower in alot of the northeast is you will get wet sloppy snow and that type of snow just dosnt blow well. What's your plan B for those storms? I have owned a 6' blower for my tractor for about 4yrs here in NY and have yet to even blow snow with it. We mostly get smaller...

Get a new cylinder from surplus center.com. there going to. E the cheapest around. But I would also check amazon.

This is why typicaly a "parts machine" isnt worth it. If the parts are good then just get the machine running. If there not then its junk. The only way is if theres a specific part that you cant obtain.

Try adjusting the valves before you tear to much more into it.

If your mixing motor oil and diesel 50/50 you can spray it with a HVLP gun. Its prety thin at that point. I have a shed sprayed like this. I prefer to use a brush on my trailer as I can work the oil into and cracks real well.

I like that side spillage diverter. Does it act like a box blade or does it still move dirt across the blade and just pile up there?

I'm talking more about the huge piece of C channel that's supporting the back of the blade. Tilt and angle dont mean anything if the blade is bent in half. I paid $400 for that one in 2022 as you see it. Hardly used it but to cheap to pass it up.

Just bypass it..but keep the clutch switch so you cant start unless its pushed in.

Just use a WD hitch. That's about as close to getting the same outcome as your going to get. It moves the tongue weight forward just like a gooseneck.

For a machine of that size your going to want a cat 1/2 capable rear blade. Alot of these rear blades have nearly no rear support and can bend really really easy.

I wouldnt do a diverter for the simple fact that nearly every time when I'm moving brush with my grapple I need to scoop the pile then roll the open grapple over the top, then come down on it and close the grapple. I have it connected to a rear remote and it's kind of a pain in the ass.

VRBO has been good for the 2x I have used them. Once for a 2br cottage by the beach in NJ and one for a 2br place in the lakes region of NH. Both under $1k for 3-4 nights. For a beach vacation you may need to book a whole week if it's in season. We booked 1 week off season. The beaches where...

make a suction jet pump. Parts are prety cheap and it's going to be way cheaper than a long reach excavator.

While your in there drill a drain hole in the steering tube. Mine was filled with rusty water and crud. The steering valve seal is leaking but after cleaning the tube and seal on the valve the leak is at an accepted level of leak.
