Wow that's interesting. Two(2) cylinders. The brakes don't look rusty abused. Gwbarm and the Canadian dude on this site are very knowledgeable. Rebuild kits and honing the cylinders would be cheapest...I have bought Yamaha brake part$$$ Oh My!.
-
will you plane or check head with feeler gauges for flatness?
-
Glad to hear that. head bolts original?
-
The gas tank was rusted when I got him. I epoxy coated the inside of his tank. You know when I was in Croatia on a Nato highway cnstruction job the trucks were from the US...CAT with tandem front steering axles. But from the factory they had "Coated epoxy tanks!

Yes my Kaw 1000 is shaft drive. >94 K miles ( I did not put all those on..LOL) It had a trailer hitch when I got it with 65 K miles from a widiow. But one looses some efficiency frrom the worm gear. Not that I need it.
-
Glad you figured that out....Gasket blown....???? Hydrolok???? Is rod bent also...?

My heavy gravely blade worked good in wet snow. My body weight lifts it up..LOL everything frozen now 5 F last night...last Saturday it was 34F perfect sno angel snow!
-
So do you use the winch (got it right this time) that came with the Arctic cat or a separate winch?
-
Yes that make sense...Dumb idea...I have a 12 vdc linear actuator I was trying to figure out what to do with it.
-
lift the Winch...Freudian slip lift with a winch....OMG too sleepy
-
Have you ever thought of using an electric "linear actuator" to lift the pow instead of the wench. Linear actuators use a screw mechanism to move the load. They are limited to a short stroke ...10 inches or so. However they have a lot of lift force and down force. Security gates use 12 vdc linear actuators.

Bummer! How heavy is that plow? does your plow have a rubber wear strip?
-
I saw some on line that weighed 70 Lbs 4 ft wide.
-
The snow plow for my Gravely weighs 110 Lb. Is that too heavy to mount on Foreman?
-
It was almost 32 F last night. I always wanted to make a snow angel in my Bikini like I see the girls at the ski lodges do. But could not lay directly in the snow. It is cold. It was a bucket list thing!...LOL
-
It was 22 overnight but dropped to 15 F.. No power loss. But I feel for those who have lost power. That is bad.
-
WE had another inch of snow last night. I have the SXS on that solar Bat charger I bought from Harbor Freight.. I mounted the solar panel inside the window on my shed. It appears to work great with the sun that shines through the window. I keep Foreman in the cottage basement where I can watch over him and keep him charged up.

Yes Ladders have OSHA tag , Slings have ASME tags. The safety orange ladder next to my goofy picture is a 12 ft ladder my friend gave me.. His guys said the OSHA tag was unreadable. It was but my friend said his guys hated the ladder because it was heavy.... LOL He thinks they scratched it unreadable.
-
Wow that is a project!
-
Oh yes, The 6 " X 12 ft eye & eye sling carrying 90 % of Mr Blue's weight was a "gift "from a construction crew I worked with. The ASME sling tag was unreadable, so they gave it to me. 4 Ply rated at > 30 K Lbs...LOL
