john deere model 49 snow thrower modification

[@jon9148]

I usually check in for some HVAC, and plumbing commentary, but now some strait as frig free handed plasma work, and fabricobbling ? Steve getting it done over at the shop. Next week on Lavimoniere's Off the road edition we are going to see how to supercharge this Chevy step van, and install a tiny dog 5 point harness.

[@kevineich5029]

Being that this video is a year old, hopefully, you'll see this comment. The loose bolt on the auger at the 4:00 mark should be somewhat loose so the auger can move independently of the drive so if you hit something, the bolt will shear. The shear bolts are just 1/4-20 grade 5 bolts and there should be a nylock nut on it, not a plain nut. If the shear bolt is too tight and an obstruction is hit, the bolt might not shear, causing damage to the gearbox. The shear bolt needs to be a grade 5 so it snaps cleanly when an obstruction is hit. A grade 2 bolt will tend to stretch vs. snap in that application.

Steve you Got more snow blowers then snow! Hopefully you get some good snow this year so you can use them. I'm in colorado so far we have had one 8" snow storm

[@HB-yq8gy]

Nice Steve! My neighbor gave me a 332 diesel with plow.

[@J-Colt]

I'm going to try my darnedest to send you all Ohio snow this year so you can test this baby out! Thanks for video Steve.

[@petero2693]

Peoples wearing shorts here.... yup

[@meadowviewlawncarellc8079]

You been putting a lot of good time, money and effort into all your snow removal equipment. Is it just like a hobby to work on for you, do just your place or you other places around you? Really like the way the trackless came out

[@jeffcoolhd]

Steve you have another modification to do to the John Deere. You have to add the seat platform for Molly. Molly's going to be driving tractors here soon when you get some snowfall. Peace brother and Molly

[@pdemail18]

The video shows a glimpse of some sort of roadster in the background. Whats ya got back there? 32 Ford

[@POL3INAROW]

Steven, you should do a couple videos on your toy's in the shop. I spotted what looks like a 55' Chevy front end, and an early ford coupe as well. Most of your viewers are probably into it anyway. I Enjoy your videos!

[@ttrack9089]

Beautiful welds Steve...Like your solder work...Mint!

[@dklucas1]

You are next level for sure Steve

[@wally8075]

Hi! Thanks for making good laughable content! Me and my grandfather love to watch your videos. Keep making the good content!

[@derekobidowski3301]

That heater in the cab how many amps does it draw if you have to upgrade the charging system in the John deere. as most small engines the alternator is under the flywheel. Im sure you can add one of these Bergstrom heavy duty fans to it like the Trackless. as i need to get one of these heaters cab heaters either Curtis cab or kozy cab. as equipment with air-cooled engines may need to have electric heating as liquid cooled engines the heater is plumbed to the engine. by smaller hoses. Im not sure if you measured the amp draw of your heater in your cab

[@mdovideo1414]

I would like to see some more videos of you welding.

[@kenenos6520]

Is this replacing the trackless or in addition to the trackless?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

i use them both

[@kenenos6520]

Oh ok. Nice job on the fabrication and the welding.

[@user-mm9hv2oj8d]

What is the reason for spacing it up off the ground? Is the lot not paved?

[@BaFunGool]

On most gas motors (Briggs) the Coil is gapped at .010 as thickness of a standard business card. Sawzall blade for gapping spark plug .035.

[@hugheshomeimprovementssp4055]

Try some 3/4 quarry process packs real nice

[@ronsmith8800]

What happened to the trackless

[@Bob.W.]

One of these years you guys will have to get some snow. :)

[@donaldhawkes5226]

That type drive way your going warm ...cold your going to throw a little gravel..you just got to eye it and bump the leveler shifter up or down

[@davidstiles8884]

Steve, you need to do your snow dance so we can see them I action. Let it snow mamma.

[@Fireship1]

Now that Steve is snow brigade ready, the northeast won’t see a single flake. (Can’t say that I wouldn’t be happy if my prediction comes true!)

[@dacircusclown1]

Merry Christmas Steve..BTW....That ain't no Taj Mahal..

[@hugheshomeimprovementssp4055]

Great video, nice after a hard day's work to chill out with a deere

[@scottkaiser8031]

[@minibikemadman]

[@PROUDAMERICANFORLIFE]

WARE IN THE WORLD DID U FIND THAT BEUTIFUL CAB THAIR NORMALY THOUSANDS OF DOLLERS ID LIKE AN OLD YOUSED ONE FOR A FEW HUNDERED I CAN CLEAN AND PAINT

[@cristobalpacheco4202]

Steve, you still have the chickens? How bout an update?

[@petero2693]

The only real modification is to move to a sunny zero snow location.. I did just that...

[@Bub61fd]

“She’s a blower momma “ Like you said Steven keep it simple stupid. Use what you got, to get it done, excellent work.

[@PROUDAMERICANFORLIFE]

[@rtta51]

Hey Steve, what do those have for motors?

[@markpontes4457]

They have 18 hp Onan 2 cylinder.

[@atouchofa.d.d.5852]

What happened to that other beast you had?

[@mdovideo1414]

How cold is is in Massachusetts?

[@rtta51]

Colder than Gov Charlie Baker's heart.

[@johnkrim8377]

Why didn't you just heat those ends and just bend them in a vise ?

[@notajp]

Agreed! Would have been much easier and faster...

[@georgeswindoll9138]

@@Doing_it_right_the_first_time portable band saw would give easier, cleaner cut

[@jdtv...9134]

I probably would of heat the steal up and bent it in a vice as suppose to cutting it for the angle. 👊✌

[@frankie2234]

A new channel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Africanfrogs]

Some cheap snow machine skis would be lighter, but work with that’s u got

[@raymondsprengelmeyer1278]

It looks like a good idea!

[@BaFunGool]

Q: Why did the Snowman have his pants down? Ans: Because the snowblower arrived.

[@dklucas1]

ROFLMAO

[@amirdieselx64]

Hilarious hahahaha

[@petero2693]

One must modify their blower... works for me.. always need a better blower...yea momma...

[@PROUDAMERICANFORLIFE]
