Now that the snow blowing season is over,

[SylvainG]

What should be done to prepare the blower (3PH) for storage?

Are you sure...really sure.

Check over good for loosen parts,grease,touch surface with no paint,if outside storage keep off the ground also from elements,if hyd. connections cover with plastic bags etc....it's start.

Lol, nope but if it snows, I'll use the ATV. No need to take out the big guns in March

Thanks. It's outside, covered but I didn't think about raising it from the ground. Sounds like a good idea.

I touch up the paint , grease , oil the chain and spray it with Fluid Flim also grease the pto shaft and leave it in two pieces so it does not rust solid...

My you get 4 feet of heavy wet snow for saying that snow season is over now!!! Or live in Denver CO

I didn't use my blower this year, so it's all set! I did make a Dollie for it so I can move it around in my garage. (2) Harbor Freight 24x16" dollies with 4' 1x6" boards connecting them.

I only used mine 4 or 5 times this year. What a miserable snow year. All the talking heads on tv had warned us about a abnormalily cold and wet year prediction. Wrong again.

almost wish I never chained up the tractor.

but every year I power wash plow, chains and blower After season is over. Then I bring the plow and blower into shop to lube and paint bare metal. My units are 10 years old now and still look great.

the only thing I’ll do different this year is I have to repair a couple of holes showing up in snowblower drum area...caused by rocks being swished around . Stupid rocks. I’m going to cut out the metal and replace it with 8 ga steel. Hardest part is bending the steel. I practiced with a scrap piece and the roller handled it great. Its th3 thickest piece of steel I ever tried to run thru the roller.
