    3 pt hitch snow blower modification

    Yes, I have done this to a number of snowblowers and the results are amazing. If the clearance between the edge of impeller and housing is less than 1/4 I have used heavy tractor inner tube rubber with a few self tapping screws (drill small hole in impeller first), or if larger gap use a piece...

    Just replaced the old governor weight ring. Everything else looked damage free.

    Well Bob, part arrived (doesn t look quite as well made as the original, with crimped pins holding weights on), installed, everything back together, flipped the switch, lights across the county dimmed and lightning bolts flashed (ha!) and sure enough she fired up. Throttle seems to work good...

    I had success ordering a new governor set of weights from the diamond tractor supply out west as you suggested. $78 plus shipping and it should arrive sometime next week.

    Motor won t turn over

    Hi again. I tried to measure the chain deflection. What I did was turn the crank shaft counter clockwise to tighten the chain on one side and then I pressed the chain on the opposite side to make it move as much as I could. What I noticed was I could deflect the chain a maximum of 7/8 of an...

    Ok, took your advice one stripped front of tractor down to timing chain case and removed. Impressed myself I could actually do that! Found governor weight sitting on chain, wedged between sprocket and chain. Stopping rotation of crankshaft. One other weight looks like it s ready to fall off...

    Gosh, I m not that tech savvy to remove front axle and pull the front of engine off. I would have to trailer the tractor to someone with ability to open that up. Not sure if the money to ask someone to look inside is worth it? I can get another used Ferguson for $1500. Might I be better off...

    Motor won t turn over

    Ok, I tried your ideas just now. Was hoping you would still be interested in helping me. I removed the starter and found I could turn the engine backwards by just pushing the fan blades. With all plugs out it turned really easily. But, when I tried to move forward I would go about 1/10 or...
