    I stumbled upon your TH-cam video about 9 months ago and bookmarked it, and I have been meaning to thank you for uploading it ever since. Way back in the mid 1990s, my partner and I visited Los Angeles. While we were there, we looked at various music shops. One had a late 1979 Les Paul Artist for sale which we bought and brought back with us to Melbourne, Australia. After a few months, I decided I did not like the active circuitry, so I removed the two circuit boards and re-wired the pickups to the original Gibson, humbucker schematic. To this day, I regret doing that as it never sounded right. I put all the boards, battery and some other parts into storage and there they have remained for 30 years. Watching your video has prompted me to put back and wire all circuit boards back to original factory specifications. I could not do that now without your video, as I have completely forgotten what I did and didn’t write down any notes. Many thanks for uploading this video. Please keep it here forever.

    Well of course it can handle it You can even tackle it when it hits 6 inches to keep up with bigger storms I never understood the mentality of letting 2 t0 5 feet of snow land on your drive way before you start clearing it Get up during the night and check on your driveway as your gonna have a bad snow day with the snow shovel as the tracror could burn out its belts trying to clear big drifts and miss a day at work if you dont

    I have a D130 with a slightly newer 44" with power lift kit and a much larger gravel driveway. It blows snow so much better than any walk behind unit, I've had it in 24" drifts (that's with an 18" tall opening, so half a foot above the blower) and it handled it just fine, though it gave the drift knives a workout, and it breaks up icy layers extremely well as well. To solve the lacking of traction for uphill portions, I switched from chains to Terra Grips (they were about $100, who knows now) - they're also much easier to put on and I've never thrown them, unlike the chains which seemed to get thrown at least once a year, and re-attaching in deep snow isn't fun. As a bonus, they also work perfectly in mud - they give me enough traction that I've used my D130 to drag a downed tree from the drive with tow chains when my Subaru with snow tires couldn't budge it.

    One suggestion I have if building one of these is get yourself an extra membrane housing. I've had to replace two because of cracking. Now if I have an issue I can swap one out for my spare without any down time. The first two times I was out of commission for days cause I had to order a new one.

    Yeah, man, I’ve been amazed at what this combo can handle snow-wise. I have a 100yd driveway that about half of it is probably 40’ wide. I’ve cleared snow 10” deep, and also 6-7” deep with a thick layer of ice/sleet on top. It’s a good mower, but an AMAZING snowblower! I have almost 180 hours on mine, it has the updated engine. The fuel pump is what I’ve found seems to be the weak point on starting. Sometimes it seems to vacuum lock.

    Most regular CO detectors will only go off when the levels are really unsafe. They just aren't designed to detect low levels of CO that can still be harmful. You could buy a professional CO meter but you're better off saving that money for a vented heater. Crack your garage door or open a window and you should be fine. If you use the garage a lot invest in a vented gas heater or fireplace. If your garage is well insulated and you want AC as well get a ductless heat pump. The ductless option is better for maintaining a solid temperature in the garage 24/7, they aren't great at rapidly warming up a space.
