    Took the snowblower off yesterday, hoping to force spring to arrive. Found the rope severely frayed, luckily I found it before I was deep in the woods. Snagged a dead ash next to the driveway, serviced the 461 and hand sharpened my square ground chains. Looking forward to spring here! Enjoy your hoarding all:dex: CFB3A860-9AA4-4F61-B305-D6E85BB37606.jpeg C24A88E3-605F-4176-9446-E723F1FA231F.jpeg 5A00F66D-8139-4AF8-922B-E4AF99A59552.jpeg 29874764-4B7D-4047-A8B3-36050095C5EF.jpeg

    It controls/engages the clutch to spin the winch. You can tease the logs out with a light pull, or pull hard on the rope to fully engage and apply power to the pull.

    First thing I thought of on the last pic is pied piper. You on the tracker with all the little logs following you home. Lol

    Its always nice to find something like that before you're in the woods. Nothing more worse or aggravating than having that happen.

    Well that helps explain a coil of cable on a snowblower.
