The blower is a 5 HP chipper/shredder but it creates enough draft it works good as a fan and chops the leaves even finer. I had to take the grate bar out as it reduced the draft too much. TSC wanted $1200 for the same thing. I paid $75 for the chipper and $ 128 for the hose, everything else I...

Built this up last summer. It works great on all the leaves. Mike

Most tractors you take the rear wheels off and switch sides w/ the lugs still pointing the right way and that will extend them out a few inches.This is due to the wheel center not being in line w/ the tire center. Makes quite a difference in stability. I think they're shipped that way so they...

Glad to help. That's a lot easier than splitting it. Mike

Before you split it,try putting it in the fastest gear and have someone tow it while you control it w/ the switch off and the clutch disengaged. When it's going approx. 3-4 mph step on both brakes hard to see if engine inertia will break it loose. OH,and next time park it w/ the clutch...

Yeah,Mith, they are a blast to operate. But after so many years they're hard on the body but not so much w/ the newer ones. I learned on the ones made from 1950 to 1970. Believe it or not,the bigger they are the easier to learn to run. Mike
