Thoughts after today's snow removal
 

First, the QA42 on my 125 just amazed me once again. Clearing my neighbor's driveway I had drifts up to hood height. Somehow the QA 42 managed to throw snow. My only problem was the cotter pin for the chute control broke ( I've had the QA42 for 12 years ). Neighbor Vic had the correct size hair pin and I was back in business.

Second, I really like my IH Windbreaker but I think at just under 6' tall and 220 lbs, I'm about maximum size for anyone to comfortably use one. As snow collected on the roof, it touched my head and also my left knee was against the door so I could control the speed / direction with the hydro lever.

Snow coming into the cab wasn't too bad. I have a hydraulic lift on the 125 and the IH Windbreaker wasn't sculpted to fit around it.

All in all it was a good day. :beerchug:

Looks good Jeff.:beerchug:

Glad it worked well Jeff!:beerchug:

My thoughts are keep a spare belt! :bash2:

I have spare belts for the starter generator, the QA42 snow thrower and both spare belts for the 42" cast iron end mower deck. I "think" I have the correct belt for the hydraulic lift but I'm going to measure it to make sure.

I'm going to add a couple cotter pins to the under seat storage too.

Jeff, glad you had a great day in the seat and your cub performed well. Looks like the chute on your snow thrower is stubby. I wonder if you extended it or had a fuller chute, then maybe you would not have the snow build up on top of your cab as much.

It was still windy this morning so I was getting "swirl".

I stayed warm and dry so it was only a minor inconvenience. :beerchug:

Jeff,
Once you go cab,you never go back.

My thoughts on snow is that snow sucks, cold weather sucks. I'd rather be cutting grass and sitting by the pool in 90 degree weather. Yeah I know It's good to want. Did I ever mention that I hate snow? :biggrin2::beerchug:

come on Sam, you know the kid in you was having fun.:biggrin2:

If I need to use the blade on the other 125 it'll be motorcycle helmet time :beer2:
