My snowcaster needs some TLC

[ras101]

I wondered that too. Eugen. Seems when I went looking for a "new" solution that my mind was more on finding the most non shear solution rather than any safety factor in saving...whatever..

I now have my two snow casters stripped down (L84 & J84) for rebuilds. Still making up my mind about the chain tension method I will use.. go with a version of later snow caster or go with a tension block. The only reason not to "upgrade" to the later (SB) snow caster tensioner is that the Snow Caster chain adjustment jack screw #C29877 is no longer available. Anyone that has one of these they don't want (or have dimensions) ?

I found this site : https://wencosimplex.com/spade-bolts/ that would really make a start into creating my own bolt.

Any how, just started the process to strip the paint off the housings and getting them ready for paint. As I start work I will try to take some pics.
