Don't waste time cleaning pipe. The pipe will last longer than you or I if you don't do anything. If it needs to look nice, get a 4 inch or 4 1/2 inch angle grinder and put on a quality twisted-wire wheel and remove any obvious loose dirt/scales and prime with Rustoleum red oxide. Then put on you desired finish color. Now it will really last a very long time. If you absolutely need to have clean steel and you have spare cash, hire some high school kids or go to your local job service and hire someone for a few days to do it for you. Good luck...

Loftness used to make them. I think they are in Minnesota, however they quit making them. What they did was join two 90 deg. PTO gearboxes with plates bolted on either side holding the assembly together and run a driveshaft to the 3 pt. blower mounted up front. It was a good setup, but very time-consuming to build them right. Just wasn't any money in it. I got this info from someone that works there. They may still have a few gearboxes left and some advice on how to do it yourself, provided you had the tools and time to do it. I hope this helps.

I'm not really sure if it would do as good a job as a box blade since I've never used one. The rake is really great because it is exactly that...a rake. (albeit a relly BIG rake!) The rake is a Land Pride model 15, I believe it to be 60

I have a JD670/4WD and have run chains on all for tires for four years. They are one of the best investments I have made and the tractor is almost unstoppable. I put them on when the snow flies and take them off when I stop plowing (about 7 months). Never had any problems. I got them at our local JD dealer and the fit perfect, although the do take about 45 minutes to install, start to finish. Hope this helps.

I have a JD670 and I always wear one. They wouldn't call 'em accidents if you knew they were coming. I was involved in accident investigation/prevention <br>as a past career. The only way you can gage sucesss is by failure. You will never know and can never know how many accidents you prevent. You<br>or anyone else just can't tell. It doesn't take but a second to use proper safety equipment but has the potential to save an enormous amound of grief. Just think of a time you injured yourself doing something you know wasn't smart. I bet you had maybe a few weeks or month to think about it. I suspect those that haven't worn them are just lucky. The phrase
