Re: So here's my problem guys....

Ray, if you are looking for drift cutters like in my photo, I got these Ariens Drift Cutters from Amazon several years ago. They had several models depending on what length and hole spacing you may need.

Re: snow caster mods.

Matt, I did the same thing the same way (cardboard template) you did a few years ago, only I added 2 extra teeth on each side. I really like the extra rearward discharge, especially when I get to the end of the driveway.

Re: On board CO detectors

On my 446, I use this Kidde Detector mounted on a piece of Lexan as a bracket. It slides on/off for battery replacement and storage.
I consider it necessary for 4xx tractors that blow hot air into the cab!
