No ex work yet. Going to mount that used plow I bought this fall onto explorer. Glad it isn't windy. Makes it a lot more enjoyable outside.

The chute on your blower will hold up. As long as you don't try to prune any trees with it. LOL
I'm not worried about how it will hold up, just where it will put the snow. It has a bit of a twist to it now that it didn't have before.

Off to the sugarhouse? Must be a bit of Christmas shopping. Good luck with that. I think we have ours mostly done.

Glad you had a chance to use the spray gun. Hope it worked for you. The Fluid Film won't make rust into metal but it does a pretty good job of stopping it, especially in enclosed areas where it doesn't get worn away. But the externals have to be done twice a year because it does wear off.

Just don't get mesmerized by the cool twisting stream of snow blowing out of it. LOL.

Most of the Christmas shopping is done. Her friend is from rutland so half way point

We go to Morse Farm here in Montpelier to do some of our shopping. We have close friends in Alabama that we always send a Vermont pack to. Syrup, cheese, etc. All VT stuff. They do the same with stuff from down south. Good fun to try to outdo one another.

I'll be sure to watch the curly cue snow pouring out of the snow blower. Should be fun to watch.

Have a fun day.

Got the replacement plow on the explorer. Wasn't bad, had to move two tabs on each side and weld them back on. Still need to transfer the back drag from the old one to the other one
Showing the different mounting ear widths

Showing where it bolts on and cross member modified

Showing it modified and plow mounted in

Plow on explorer, 7.5' full size plow, heavier

When I first hooked up hoses, the angle wasn't working, pump would come on for left angle but not move, pump wouldn't come on for right. It was working with the old plow. Thought maybe ice in the pistons seizing them up and maybe cable out of adjustment. So I pulled the cover off the lower compartment, in picture. So got the cover off and it was half filled with ice not letting the arm move. Cleaned out the ice and now works good.

Good evening Rick. I think he is just oblivious to it.
