      I use a Lucknow 72″ drive forward 3pt hitch snowblower on my 284. It works great. From the web site it seems they also make a 60″ but I wouldn't suggest one that is just the same width of the tires.

      It seems obvious when you say it (but not everyone thinks of it) when using this sort of blower you are limited to blowing the amount of snow you can drive through. i.e. you can't back your way into a big bank or drift and chew your way in.

      Also, moving snow out of a yard where there is a large area but limited places to blow the resulting snow can require some creative planning as you can only really blow left or right. Obviously forward will just fill the neck of your jacket faster and backwards will fill the path you just drove.

      For what you are describing, it seems like it would be ideal.

        I also recently noticed the 284 that my fuel pump lubricant seems to be 90% fuel and full to the top of the dip stick.

        The performance of the tractor has not changed.

         

        Based on your comments Bob;

        1)      Is there a simple O-ring I should be changing to fix this.

        2)      Buy a new pump now for the day when I do start to have symptoms.

         

        Or do I need to supply more data to make a determiniation?
