Adding front weights

Post by DavidBarkey »

With the snow blower on the ground there is no enough front steering weight . In the summer I use an old snap fast bracket modified to hold suitcase weight , but with the snowcaster on that's not possible . this is my solution.

one forward and one aft allows wheel clearance . Bracket clamps on with two bolts ,so is easily removed for summer . Left side only due to steering link on right side . See how this works out this winter . Just have to clean it up and paint it .

I always had steering problems with the 446 and snow caster. I changed the tires last year to some snow blower tires and end of steering problems. :thumbsup: :peace: Harry
