I’m working on similar tractor like that and just a heads up these have 2 hydraulic hoses that with overtime rub the steering wheel hence they tend to fail. I’m working in the 2nd hydraulic hose after 4 years since I changed the first one

any chance you can let me know the Plow you are using for the GT235 in some of the videos. You indicate it is a 48inch. I have a GT 235 with a blower and manual lift. Hoping to put a 48 in Blade with the brackets i see on some 345s. The lifting is midmounted on the 345 but not sure what i need to make that 48 inch work for a 235. Any advice or suggestions would be welcome. thanks, frederick

Mine is rusted so thin and I was thinking maybe do fiberglass matting and resin to get back some strength and thickness.

What is this flapper mod you are referring to?

If any one any know where there one for sale. Running or not. If it is near Southeast iowa I may consider buying.

you're going to be sore the next day!

how does it look over time? I'm looking at doing this to my mower as well.

My simplicity won't start .it was working good and i stoped to clean and won't start...somebody knows what can be the problem

Jeff, I have a 425 too. I bought agressive ATV rear tires and use them in the winter, glad to be rid of those rough riding tire chains. If I need I will add carbide studs to the ATV tires for traction on ice.

Im’e thinking about that same type restoration…i use an air hammer a couple times in a season here in New England to clean my 44” cub deck then hit it with a wire whell…..just wondering if you were happy with the fiberglass coating

Had you thought of having it sandblasted to prep it, and then epoxy coating it? Anybody try this?

Did it work /

Oooh gnarly. I was thinking a few thick coats of epoxy paint but that looks like a lot better idea.

Got one of these that runs for 20 mins then cuts out. Driving me mad. Have to leave it to cool down

How well did that work?

Could you please show the set up and how it hooks up? Thanks

I respect the snow hustle

Bring on the snow! I plow with my 00 John Deer 445. Check it out if you get a chance. Can't wait to see your 425 in action! Subscribed!

Mav, moves Snow faster!!

thats a badass machine with a badass Deere 2 xcellent machines all u got to do is sit on your ass and ride around let The rake do The work

The snow usually ends up in my face, no matter which way I'm going. Windy on top of my hill.

What snow thrower is that? I have a JD gt235

I have the Prestige 54" and was doing that same surging..I would choke it and it would stop for a little while but then get worse and worse until it would just die out. I ripped the carb apart, rebuilt it cleaned EVERYTHING while it was all apart & replaced fuel filter .. put it together and still was surging... finally had the brilliant idea of unhooking fuel line at filter, and used air compressor to blow out the line to the tank... RUNS PERFECT NOW! I only ever had it run out of gas once, and it started acting up when that happened.. so something in the tank must have gotten sucked up in the line and plugged it up! Can't really see into the tank to see what may be in there but if it happens again.. I'll just blow that line out again! Hope this helps you out!

The set you have is from 1946.when the war ended in August that year Lionel rushed to provide train for Christmas.There wasn't time to retool and produce the new expanded line of trains so they put together as best they from rolling stock one set and those were in short supply and high demand.I begged my parents to no avail,new trains the few there were disappeared from store shelves before the stores could hardly stock them .Needless to say disappointment ruled Christmas that year.I now have that set after years of seachingItwas a mess and really took time to return it to running shapeI bought it anyway,after years of searching I wasn't going miss this singular chance.The set is pulled by a 224e loco, tank car,gondola,box car,and a tinplate caboose.Enjoy the set you have.I wish that electronic games and other devices so common today were not so much used.It frustrated me to prepare lessons only to see some students texting each other during class,especially during a test,but that's another story.Happy railroading!!!!!!!

I see on your SS16 you have a plow, did you sell your snowblower and decide to get an older Sears?

A great Garden Tractor. I have owned the 2012 Craftsman CTX9500 version of this Garden Tractor since showroom new. Mine has Hydraulic Power Steering and a 30HP B&S Professional engine with Electric Fuel Management. My 54" deck has a Hydraulic Deck Lift and Electronic Blade Height Adjustment. Other than annual maintenance and occasional belt replacements it has been trouble free.

I’m on the hunt for a model 49 blower right now , got a 4 way blade on my 317, does the job but I run outta places to push the snow

The old Kemps were nice. I had a 5 HP Rancher and used it up. The only complaint I had with it was the fixed hammers. Swinging flails work so much better. But in this video you aren't using the shredder part anyway.

I was there, the rain was awful

I wish i had that

Where os the 317 ?

I have a showroom condition 317 myself and love it,,, so much so i sold my 318 because the 317 in my personal opinion is a better machine,, of course i have the series 2 engine 517 original hours,, and i converted it to electronic ignition and added a remote oil filter and oil cooler,,, and it purs like a kitten and has more HP than my 318 did , more torque in lower rpms more grunt... anyway nice machine you have there ,, i use a blade tho dont care for blowers...had one sold it..

Did you disconnect the governor ? Or is the governor just broken ?

Cool video! Check mine out!

The silver box car throws out crates

Looks great man! Just had a chance to use my rebuilt 42' with flapper mod this weekend! Well worth all the work!

Hi, Jeff. Can you tell me if you watched a certain video to install your modification on your snow thrower, and, if so, which video? Thanks.

jeff could you make a flapper for me?

sounds like the ladies filming love the older deere :D new deeres wont do anything near that

looks great! works well for a single stage! Just rebuilt mine with the flapper mod too. cant wait to use it. did you bypass the RIO switch? if so, how? i have a gt225, so same machine but smaller motor.

Awesome machine you got there Mister, you really need Deere snowblower in the title though, would prob get a lot more hits.

The repeating sound you hear is the flap mod hitting the housing. It rubbs in one small area, but will wear down to a tight fit...and no more "flapping" sound either

Purty tractor!
