Rise and Shine!

I went out & put the snow blower on the lawn tractor, then went out to blow snow. * made it 200-300 ft. & the electric clutch that runs the snow blower (mower deck) let out a puff & smoke and that's all she wrote. I had a time trying to get it back to the shop following the single path I blew, but I finally made it. I guess it's up to the bobcat now. Snowing harder now than it has all day, so I think I'll wait to see what develops.

Afternoon folkz. Snowed overnight so I shoveled both sides of the street this morning before church. Came home and did it all over again then had a sandwich for lunch. It is calm now but they are calling for more tonight.

Morning. Nope, it just rained yesterday afternoon then froze overnight. Slick as snot out there. Going to get the Honda lined up as I put new shoes on the ole girl last Friday.

Got up early this morning & cleared the driveway with the bobcat so Cheryl could get to work. I'll be headin' out there again in a bit to go over it one more time so it doesn't freeze lumpy. Snow blower does a much better job. I might have to go out later & see if the snow blower clutch is something simple or if it's gonna be a major deal. It's about a 15 year old Troy-Bilt, built in Cleveland OH BTW. This will be the first time I've had to buy parts for the unit.

I feel so much better. I took the electric PTO off the garden tractor, cleaned it up a little & checked the air gap on the clutch disc. .045'' it was. Spoz' to be .012". I adjusted the clutch, reinstalled & presto, it works again. Down side is, the magnet leads read 2.4 ohms & it's spoz' to read between 3 & 4 so I don't know if that means the fix is temporary or not. But for now, we're back in business & the best part is it cost $0.00 to fix. Did I mention I feel so much better.
