Finally got plowed!

[amphibious drew]

We only got about 3" of snow yesterday. Last year I wouldn't even have gotten the snow blower out for it, but this year is different. I installed a factory plow set up on my Max IV on Black Friday after I finished replacing worn idler sprockets and reinstalling the t-20 support upgrade as well as some general service stuff. My 20 min snow blow job is a 5 min plow job with the max. It is much more fun to use the max, and almost makes me wish I had a bigger driveway. She pushed great. I have not installed a heated throttle on it, and was a bit concerned it would have been frozen when I went out there, but I had set an Iv bag up with antifreeze on the throttle cable during my service work. Not only was the cable free, it was smoother than ever! I wish I remembered who posted about that nifty trick, I owe them a big thank you. I can't wait to get the chance to clean my driveway again. It's going to be a fun winter!!!

I remember seeing this post also,It was one of our Canadian or Alaskan members,I believe. Thought it was a very clever preparation too. That's what make this site so powerful.

I have also heard that antifreeze will corrode your cable. Look at how coolant in your radiator in your car looks like after a while.... Junk.... It has been said on the site before. Personally I would remove the antifreeze and pour isopropyl alcohol in there. Can never freeze and doesnt gum up like antifreeze does. Which I also learned on the site. I have heated cable and never need to turn it on and I plow with my machine all the time. Works like a charm. Just a word of advice is all... If you are going to eventually upgrade to heated cable then leave it. But if you'd rather use this cable for long while I would switch the fluids out. Just a word of advice for you buddy.

Going up and down the street is 90% why I got the plow. I was planning on charging an outrageous amount while I drive around so no one hires me. That way I really don't do any work. I will just be drive around town in my max having a good time!

Drew I have used anti-freeze in my throttle cable for 2 years now and it works fantastic.
