Travel basketball and skiing...

Try and get some chores done around the house.

Change out the axle bearings on 1978 Ariens snow blower....

Spending the weekend in Fort Myers. Spent the day on the water yesterday with my son aboard the Miss Haden. Snook fishing is cool. Did I hear something about snow? See ya.....Going for an early morning swim.

Ice fishing while there's both ice and time.

Final week in SC. Golf all week. Coming North next Saturday and Sunday. Time to go home as I'm needed at the golf course to start tree clean-up

sleeping

Trap shooting tomorrow in am, bringing home another LBC in afternoon.

Cooking. I made this clam broth from what Mike brought last week (among other things).

Awesome #^&#^&#^&#^&!

Change out the axle bearings on 1978 Ariens snow blower....

Despite having model and serial number, the diagram led me to get bearings, and I found bushings< which I cannot get until tomorrow....
Not happy..

I had same problem In past they wanted rediculous $$ for the bushings so I made my own out some old copper pipe I had laying around. Been fine for years

Hope you finished that ahead of this one. I'm so glad I pulled the old impeller kits off the snow blower this summer and installed some new rubber I cut off some 18 wheeler mud flaps I found that were almost new. If I hadn't closed the gap with those, I'd have had to do most of my driveway and walks with a shovel, as the 6" we got in Plymouth was as wet as it can get. Even the snow blower couldn't move the stuff the town plowed in front of the driveway, it was 6" of water and 12" of cement on top.

I did not.... Neighbor's borrowed Craftsman saved me. but the machine sucked compared to mine, when it has a transmission hooked up.... The 10hp Husqvarna at one of the properties I care for was a major PITA. Fought it the whole way. So I am beat up but all that had to be cleared is cleared ahead of the big freeze.


I did call Ariens and got a woman who sent me a large PDF file that was specific to my machine so I can now go get the correct parts... tomorrow. Probably wont get enough snow to run it this season after going through this repair. Figures.

I have had a 22HP Husqvarna for 5 years. NOTHING has stopped it and I'm in the Worcester snowbelt. Of course we are in SC most of the winter but my property management guy uses it when we are away and he loves it. Electric start and lots of balls.

Glad you have had a good experience, Paul. Yesterday the wheels just spun....auger was not keeping up or throwing far enough. And the handles are a full four inches higher than the ariens. Just imagine your kitchen counter four inches higher and tell me you would not want the old height back....

Mines an old Craftsman, been painted, new wheels this year due to dry rot, but still runs good. Closing the gap on the impeller with good thick firm rubber almost doubled my throw first time I did it and when it’s super wet it’s the only way to prevent clogs.
