Thought I'd share this clip of the old girl in action - still working hard after 42 years! The 307 even sounds halfway decent in this video

How do you like your nv4500 when it comes to plowing snow? Cool vid!

Having granny low comes in REAL handy when plowing, that's for sure.

The only thing so far I don't like about the NV4500 is that it's whining a lot - pretty sure the box I bought (junkyard) has an input bearing on it's way out. Oh well, one more thing to rebuild in the future, it's still quieter and smoother than the sm465/T221 combo it replaced!

Putting it to good use!!! I plan to look for a good deal during the summer for a plow truck. Saw some super cheap ones last summer. Then the one to three plowable snows we get each year I can make a few thousand dollars and also help out by plowing our Church and family's drives for free. We'll see if I find a deal this year....

^^^I still have the 465 and love my granny gear for pulling in my parking spot sense it has such a steep incline or pulling in the garage also. That sucks but at least the hard part of swapping it is done right
