msshearin,
Good to hear that it solved your problem. We went through a time consuming and costly process trying to determine why coolant was mixing with our engine oil.
When we had this problem, we noticed that changing the head gasket did not solve the problem. We noticed that when the tractor motor was not running the coolant would slowly thrickle down the oil port located behind the plate of the engine head. When running the tractor motor, we would notice that the oil eventually mixes with the coulant from the same area. I would recommend that you take the time to remove the plate and take a look if the plate gasket is covering the oil port hole properly. We had that oil port hole blocked and added the proper gasket and had a machine shop reproduce a thicker back plate for us.
Homer,
That plate on the back of the engine head might not be warped on yours, however, you might be missing a gasket. Take that plate off and take a look if that hole is blocked properly with the gasket – if there is one. Did you notice if you had oil in your rad?
When viewing the video, you can also just copy and paste the link from that page.
Ray,
As requested, here are additional pictures. I also have a PDF operator's manual/parts list of the front hydraulic mount and PTO mount snowblower. If you need a copy let me know and I can PM you.
Bob…one thing missing from your video, I didn't hear you yell the traditional “TIMBER”. Those are nice tall pine trees. Are you clearing this area for a new building, road or parking area?
I purchased the snowblower from an individual. Date manufactured is 2009.
What does the conversion kit include and can you provide costs.
