Had a free weekend, decided to get the 1450 winter ready after last years record snowfall. Tuned it up, changed the oil, broke down the snowblower, replaced the auger bearings, cutting edge and gave it new paint (basecoat/clearcoat) Used Dupont's bargin brand "omni" urethane.
Got tired of the cheap discharge chute u-joint and made my own with an 11/16 socket and a swivel (had some spares laying around)....
a few tack welds from a mig and its good to go....I'll let
you know how it works once the battle begins.
