Snowblower is gone, sold it 2 days ago. It did manage to go to someone that has a couple old Jacobsens, is a fan of them and appreciates them.

I'd love to get one side bearing off of that snowblower, though I imagine so would everyone else. On Dec 3, 2022, at 11:00 AM, Scott via groups.io <metalgod55@...> wrote:

Where are you located. I am in need of the deck height lock assembly. On Dec 2, 2022, at 7:50 PM, phnx62 via groups.io <phnx62@...> wrote:
?Well everyone, got it home today and upon closer inspection it doesn't appear to be a good candidate for restoration.? First off, although the engine turns freely the owner who operated this (not the guy I got it from - he got it from a neighbor) appears to have ran the engine without an air cleaner for a period of time.? Engine turns freely, maybe a bit too freely - with no compression at all.? I realize the Kohler engine has a centrifugal decompression cam but I'll have to check it against mine to compare.
I think it's a parts machine, so hit me up if anyone thinks they may be interested in anything. I won't want much for anything if you want to come get it yourselves. Say $50 for the snowblower assembly or the same for the rear end. Sheet metal is more or less straight but hood has rusted off it's hinge bracket and one lower peg in front of one of the side panels has rusted off as well. The rear edge of the fender pan is a bit tweaked but not bad. There's also a roughly home made weight box on the rear that holds a 5 gallon bucket of what looks to be iron shot (because it looks rusty). If it turns out to be lead (haven't checked yet) I'll keep the lead. But anyone can have the frame.? There is no lift cradle underneath, the previous owner made a bracket (first glance it appears to be bolted on) mounted to the snowblowers lift arm that attaches directly to the tractors hydraulic lift.
Right now I am planning to keep the engine, rear wheel weights (still not sure if they are Jacobsen or some no-name brand) and the tire chains. Maybe the gas tank too unless someone needs one. It does not have a matching set of FRONT wheel hubs, looks like the the right side was recently replaced with a new off brand wheel and tire.
If someone wants an item like the snowblower (worn and a bit bent on the top lip but not rusted out, appears to be saveable) or hydrostatic rear end shipped I'd want at least about another $100 for packaging up the snowblower onto a pallet and delivering it to the shipper. And probably another $150 for removing and palletizing the rear end. I also would probably only want to deal with shipping thru Fastenal because they are close to me and I've dealt with them before. You would have to be the originator and payor of the shipment at your Fastenal location.
I can post pictures or make quick youtube videos if anyone is interested.
