Hey mark happy bday, sorry about your surgery, be careful with the pain killers. They have some nasty side effects that hide. -12 here be snowing since yesterday noon not heavy but steady. Looks like it will be a lite day’s snowblower job.

Thanks Murray. I'm taking Tylenol Arthritis twice a day which is the limit. I don't use Advil or Aleve because they are very hard on your kidneys. Tylenol is the safest to take especially the older you get.
Still mild out and -1 right now. However Saturday we'll be back in the freezer again and then big snow coming on Monday so they say anyway. Guess we'll find out

Looks like we will be getting a bunch of snow today so best make sure the snow blower is ready.

Those blowers are pretty basic machines. All the bearings in them are standard issue. $150.00 bucks a few hours a little swearing and you’ll have a new one. I think I told you when I rebearinged the model A trany Bearing supply had them all in stock and under a hundred bucks.

the bearings are so far good it's the drive wheel that is wearing out and should go see if John Deer has a new one.

Is the motor still running strong? If so then it's worth putting money into it. Gears and chains are all available and not bad to replace. Cheaper than buying a new one and you know what you have.

Yea might just find all the parts and do just that. wanted one with heated handles but think a good pair of gloves is cheaper.

I have heated handles and they do work nice. Wonder if you can get aftermarket ones. Or buy those hot pads that'll go in your gloves. I also think you can buy gloves that have a heater in them (battery operated of course). Would be the cheaper I think.

Ouch you do know why John Deere’s are green don’t you. Colour of money. My father in law has a Deere lawn tractor fairly new the drive pulley on transaxle came loose and ogled the torex hole out. Went to JD where he bought it, they had it in stock parts man said it was a common problem.
Ya $135.00 problem. So we used red lock tight and staked the nut.

Ouch! that hurts just thinking about it.
Used parts are real cheap and available but only want to fix it one time and is easy to work on not much to them really.
 
Well getting light out and hope my *** hole neighbor removes the snow out of my yard soon. Don't want to call the cops but I will if it's not out of my yard by noon.

Temperature has been steady in the 40s and 50s all week. Snow is 90% gone in the back yard, but the wind has been 30 to 50+ mph too. Should continue until after the weekend I think. How are you doing, getting any respite from the cold weather?

Glad your not getting flooded out Biff.
