New guy from upstate NY
Hi everybody, my name is Dave. I have a 782 with a 44" deck, and I believe a 451 blower. The blower is new to me, I liberated it from my brother's rustyard. He had it on his 782, but the tractor has terminal hydro leaks. I'm still working out the bugs, but it improves every time I use it.

Re: New guy from upstate NY
Dave - Welcome!
Check out this link in our "CCC" forum concerning the blower: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6684
Long story short, you should be using a 450, not a 451. The thread in the link above will explain.
Anyway, good to have you!

Re: New guy from upstate NY
Actually I did see that post before I joined. I wasn't sure what I had, but figured someone who knew more than I do would set me straight... Thank you. There were no tags,stamps,or anything on the blower. I actually narrowed it down by looking at pictures. Anyway, it works well. It sat for about 3 years after my brother's 782 hydraulics let loose.Tom Scott wrote:Dave - Welcome!

Re: New guy from upstate NY
Hey Tom, what would be the best way to find out if anyone here has a spare 50c deck for my buddy's 1541?

Re: New guy from upstate NY
I'll take some. I'm still working the bugs out of the blower. It has been working well though. Is White Hall anywhere near Hagerstown? There was a sign on American Pickers that was originally in White Hall...stevet wrote:Welcome to a great group of people! Would love to see some pics of your tractor and snowblower!

Re: New guy from upstate NY
Ah, Martinsburg isn't too far away either, about the same distance. I've actually been to that area quite a few times. Very close to the historic Harpers Ferry area. Always like visiting the Civil War areas like that.

Re: New guy from upstate NY
I'd like to visit some of those sites. We have a standing invitation to his house. Who knows, Mama may decide to try transferring to Winchester... Maybe I'll bring my Cub down...stevet wrote:Ah, Martinsburg isn't too far away either, about the same distance. I've actually been to that area quite a few times.

Re: New guy from upstate NY
Thanks,John. You got any snow up there? I'm between Utica and Syracuse, but a bit north. The lake effect is playing keep away with the snow now that I have a good blower on the tractor...ONTARIO61CUB wrote:Welcome to the Forum David

We have had some snow but has since melted with the rain and milder temps.Johndavis2 wrote:Thanks,John. You got any snow up there? I'm between Utica and Syracuse, but a bit north.
