I bought my first house and finally have a garage. Its huge, but no heater. Kerosene heaters, electric space heaters, and propane heaters. Gotta got warm up every so often with these Buffalo winters where I am or it gets COLD

Congrats on the new home! I have to use a propane heater in my garage. There is a really good wood stove in there but the insurance issues with the VERY expensive wheelchair accessible van in there make it so I can’t use the stove. I lived in Buffalo on a consulting gig during the winter of 2000/2001. We got plenty of snow and cold that winter, I think it was record setting at the time.

Well gents I've been busy with life but still trying to get parts. I finally found a dozer blade for the sears after 5 years of looking. It's a game changer massive difference from the atv blade I mod to fit. I also came into possession of 2 snowblowers after getting 21" of snow in 12hrs I thought I would give it a try. So disappointed, best it can throw is 3ft lol maybe a pulley swap. 5" on tractor and 5" on blower both are original.

The single stage blower on my Bolens was pretty weak until I added some material to the tips of the "impellers", when they wear and leave too much of a gap your distance will suffer. Â I used some 1/8" steel to get it done but will be replacing it with 1/2" industrial rubber when I overhaul it in the summer, it's throwing snow over 10 feet now.
