446 winter tractor repair
Today I pulled the snow caster off the 446 and started to disassemble the front of the tractor. I was having an issue with the starter and wanted to get it apart so I could see what was going on. Starter was grinding on the flywheel and today with most everything off that I need off, I see the starter drive bushing is worn out. While the snow caster is off I’m going to check it over with a few upgrades like a larger sprocket for the drive, new chain and chain tensioner. Hopefully get this all accomplished between a couple of vacations.

Re: 446 winter tractor repair
Harry, interesting project, especially your planned upgrades of the caster.. I'm currently working on one of mine, an L46 but going even further with a complete strip down to base metal and new paint job too. Enjoy...
