For what it's worth, West System makes a epoxy specifically for flexible plastic (G/Flex). I have no experience with it but have been using their standard line for about 30 years.<br>

Thank you for the info, I thought the squishy sidewalls might be the issue on the wheel weights. Trouble is, I cannot understand how the turfs could know whether the weight is bolted to the rim or hanging on the three point.

Thanks Murf,
I have been eying the snowmobile helmets, but times are tough so I wanted to be sure it would work before spending the money. Do the unheated anti-fog face shields work? Or do I need the heated one?

To throw out some info, In cleaning machine tools I have used mineral spirits (paint thinner)with some success but it is a mild and slow solvent, I find Naphtha more aggressive but still will not remove the paint, don't think I would use it in a washer though.
For water based where items can be dried before rust issues, I just tried Zep (at HD) citrus degreaser on painted items with success. But for the ultimate, try Zep "Purple Degreaser", at full strength you will be amazed, but do not use on paint (it will strip it right off) and do not use on aluminum (it will eat/etch instantly).
Do use gloves and eye protection.
I built a large sink to wash parts with water based degreaser and have good results washing and rinsing with hot water, the heated parts dry fast enough to beat most "flash rust".

As a follow up in case anyone is searching this info, the land pride 15-60 60" box scraper I found used has proved to be the perfect size for my JD 755. I am very happy I did not get the 48" that would have been narrower than my rear turfs. I have no problem pulling the 5' blade.

I have been using my JD #70 loader on my 755 a lot lately. When dumping a bucket load and stopping the "dump" at a point, when I resume the "dump" there is a time lag as the cylinders "fill up" with oil. In a closed system, how is it that there is apparently a vacuum or air "pulled" by the weight in the bucket? I have noticed this since new but had not used it enough to fully realize what is occurring. Is there something wacky here?<br>
Thanks

Murf, I went with your suggestion on the conveyor belting and other mods to great success!If you think it Worth it maybe you could move our and Joel's conversation to a new "snowblower improvements" thread and I will follow up on what I did(with pictures). It's info I would have liked to find in one spot.
Thanks
