Aaron, awesome job on the blade! one thing, I'm not sure how well that chain will work. It should work just fine for lifting but it won't allow for any down force. Is that just temporary?

Funny, I was just thinking the other day "Hmmm, Terry B. hasn't posted in quite a while." Terry looks like you had a nice day out with the Cubs.

Charlie, very nice night light!

Morning Kraiq, Today i`am out in the Cub shed and was thinking that i should replace the fluid in the rear end of my O. But how do you know how much gear oil to use when there is no bolt in the rear cover to check the level? Just wonder if you knew how much to add. I borrowed a spare shifter from the 73 rear end that i have here. i need the O with mower deck for the leaves, I `am going to see if it will mulch leaves because all i see is leaves lol Later Don T

Well i`am glad I drained it.

Donald...

always wanted to use this... 7 pints on a gear drive.

Don,

yep, I'd say it well past due for fluid replacement. There should be a plug on the right side of the reduction housing, that is the fill level. Remove the plug and SLOWLY fill the transmission through the fill plug on top of the transmission until fluid comes out the level plug. Or if you have not yet installed the shift lever you can fill it through there which is MUCH easier then through the little fill hole.

Don, or like Keith says

Don-
Looks like it really did need to be changed. You said "gear oil".....you know you shouldn't use "gear oil".......right?

Kraig,

Thanks on the blade. The reason that I use the chain is to allow the blade to float up and ride up the snow piles. I have pushed snow last year with one and the pile was higher than the tractor, but the pile gets kinda drawn out. The blade is heavier than the original ones and has lots of "gravity" down pressure. I built a rod for use on gravel and dirt and works good.

here are some pics of my next project.

Terry Busch,
Nice pics the other day of the tiller.

All,
We've got heary clay soil in NW Indiana and the tiller really creates a lot of lateral shaking of my 147. Is this normal or should I take off a set of tines on either side of the tiller to groom less soil?

Aaron,

Jamie, email your photo to me and I'll get it posted for you.
