Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

Just hooked up my MK Martin SB68 P/T to my TYM T474 for function test after grease and lube and once over.

You need to find out where that noise is coming from!!! It should not be making any noise. It reminds me exactly of the shaft and bearing noise a fellow member had with his farm king pull behind snow blower which ended up being poor workmanship and bad welding as the drive shaft mount was not linear and made the same exact noises.

I was thinking the same thing as I was listening to the video. My thoughts were that there is some interference in the fan housing.

yeah I'm gonna check it when I get home. I did notice when I took it up to 540 PTO speed that there was a vibration in the PTO shaft. I'm going to take it off and check the shaft on the fan, and recheck the PTO shaft for imbalance or CV joints.

If you have access to a dial indicator and know how to use one that is your first step as that will tell you where the problem is.

You need a helper to spin the impeller with the PTO shaft unattached to the gear box while someone watches the dial indicator.

If it is like the Farm King snow blower we had issues with a few months ago the problem is with the alignment of the driven shaft and possibly thinner weldments and as result the weldments being out of alignment which is what we all found collectively when the member with the Farm King snow blower used a dial indicator to trace back to where the problem was in the rear of the impeller housing causing the wobble.

The Farm King folks replaced his snow blower "at absolutely no charge to him" and painted it the same color of his mule at no charge to him-that is what I call service.

Wicked nice... Clean, easy. Well done

First of September already, and thinking about snow removal this winter.
A few years back I built a wing plow for my JD 4300. In time, for deer hunting, I got a GoPro camera and took awhile to learn how to operate it.. still learning too.
Today I ran across some GoPro files of using the wing plow to push the snow berms back beyond where the 7' Western plow on the 4300 could push, either too deep or over too near the ditch line without sliding off.
So today I figured out how to run the GoPro file through "movie maker" and put a YouTube video together showing the wing plow in action and showing how the wing plow mounts quickly to the 4300.
Want to make a better video of the wing plow, but finding a good place to mount the camera has escaped me. Have a friend with a drone that wants to come down and show me what it can do, maybe I can talk him into this nice winter scene and make some above and around shots of the wing plow.

That looks like a great set up and very clever !!! Thanks for showing it. What are the dimensions of that wing blade ??

EDIT 9-6-20 5:30 pm: I found your build thread from Dec 2009. Plenty of good info there - ignore my info request. Thank you for your old thread. Very intriguing - my wheels are turning.

Any good or bad news on your inverted snowblower TYMNorsky???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[TractorTYMe]

I'm in contact with the dealer and manufacturer.

Hello TYMNorsky,


I certainly hope that they do not give you a run around like they gave me.

Did you have the opportunity to check the and driven shafts with a dial indicator??

 

[TractorTYMe]

I don't have access to a dial indicator, but there enough wobble in the fan shaft to see it visually.
