What I did with one of my cubs today.
I spent a couple of hours blowing wet heavy snow with 1872 #1 and the 451 blower. I was really glad to have the weather brake I bought a number of years back on it. but I keep hoping I will find a full steel cab for it, so far no luck. The blower worked good after I replaced a shear bolt on one of the augers. I have never sheared a shear bolt before but this wet snow really worked the 23 hp Command engine. Also before any one chimes in that you cannot use a 451 on a 1872, I am running the larger pto clutch from a 1864 so the blower runs at the correct speed. How much fun did the rest of you have on your cubs today. I hope to get back in my project 1872 soon. We have most of the winter repairs we planned on done to the combine so I can start on it next week.
Later
Tom
