I disassembled the stack on my new 1512, sand blasted it, painted it, and added a longer pipe and rain cap.

1811/450 maiden voyage
 

Tried out the snow blower today. Everything worked well, except I wish I had been able to make my skis in time. I picked up a few rocks but all windows are fine:biggrin2:. I wish we had a little more but its still snowing pretty good:beerchug:

After getting tired of adjusting the height I took off the stock shoes and bolted on the home made skis that go on the plow for my ATV. Only hit 2 more pieces of gravel on round 2. As much fun as it was I'm ready to kill some grass. :beerchug:

Thanks for the vid and pics, Travis!

Did a little test plowing with the 1772 project tractor on a nice 70 degree Sunday afternoon. It will be going to Alabama on Friday for the first 2014 plow day.

Cool plowing pic, Todd!

Nice setup Travis and good looking plow pic Todd!:beer2:

Had a Great Cub Cadet Day Today
 

Today the 1782 and I killed the leaves that had accumulated this winter on my neighbors yard. His self-propelled walk behind mower would never have been able to mulch it and now those leaves do not exist! :biggrin2:
Then, I cleaned my bead blast cabinet, replaced the protective shields on the glass and installed new blast media. Wow, what a difference. I can actually see what I am doing now. It was then put to work blasting the plates, cups, pulleys, bolts and etc. that are a part of the 44C mower deck for my 1482 Cub. They now have a coat of etching primer. New outer pulleys are on order and it will soon be getting some small holes and cracks welded and a fresh coat of paint. I hope to sandblast the deck and belt cover in the next couple of days if the weather stays nice.

This weekend was great!! Picked up the 782 for the Chinese diesel project on Saturday. Yesterday I had to rearrange some stuff to make room. I unhooked the snow blower from the 1811. That free cart has been one of the handiest things I own, except for the Cubs, of course! Moved the old 50C for 1811, got some wood in the house, and some general spring cleanup. :beerchug:
