That would look much prettier without that white crap!
I was going to Mount up the Blower on the Craftsman
- Thread starter cjet69
- Start date
It probably won't be around much longer.
I got the PK out and blew snow for little over .5 hr have lots more to do but it -20*F this morning so the F-250 will get plugged in and I'll sit in a nice warn cab for the rest tomorrow and Sat we are suppose to get 6-8 inches per one forecast and up to 15" per others will know more on Sunday
At -20*F the cab sounds like a good choice, GB. I thought 13.8*F was cold. This was nice powdery snow for the blower. I could go as fast as I wanted and the engine didn't even bog down. Not like our normal soggy snow. We only got a trace of new overnight and they are calling for temps in the upper 30's this afternoon. At least I got to run the blower again to justify having it. Maybe I'll another chance before spring hits. I did get some video that I need to edit down and get uploaded to Youtube. I'll get it posted when I can.
Hi Noel its a 1988 7.3 diesel good truck only has 124000 miles its gotten to be my snowplow truck didn't want that but don't have anything else for a plow truck have not gotten it out yet today in in the cold part of the building plugged in while I was waiting for it to warm this morning I got on the 1620 PK and plowed with it for .5 hr pickup temp said -24*F when I started it wasn't to bad but 1/2 hour was enough my hands were starting to complain the plowing went good snow is light and fluffy, will finish up with the F-250 and then after tomorrows storm will get to do it all over
These pictures are making me sick to my stomach. We just got out of the warmest December and started out January just as warm. Now its getting cold, but no snow in the forecast really.
We had a warm Dec. also with a few days up near 60*. I was glad to see this system move in with snow and cold weather. Maybe your weather patterns will shift like they finally did for us.
We usually don't get slammed with snow in the ohio valley. Usually 1 to 3" an event. Sometimes we get up to 4" or 5". Every 10 years or so we will get slammed with a 1' to 3' huge snow fall. 1993-2003-2015 we got slammed with one huge storm.
Sounds similar to us here in NW WA.
Mmmm...jelly.
Looks good. Did you do any modifations to the impeller cjet69 ? Most snow blowers always seem to have a pile of snow being pushed out at the front middle, where the augers bring it to the center for the impeller to get it and throw it out. Yours doesn’t seem to do that. Impeller is taking all the snow in.

Yep, all gone. It lasted about 12 days from the first snow to completely melted. We are now in the upper 40's to low 50's and lots of rain. We are down to about a month and a half where we could still see any snow.
