Don't Leave Stuff On Your Snowblower!
First snow-blow of the season - just headed out the garage on the J.D. (500X), for the first run down the driveway...when - thunk! I knew right away that I'd sheared a pin (right out of the block...ugh! I hadn't sheared a single pin all last winter!). Stopped to pull out what at first looked like a large stick, only to realize that it was 1/2 of a pair of channel lock pliers - which I then vaguely remembered having left on top of the blower...stoopid! Yeah...it was still dark out - but I should have at least checked first!
Later...dug around that first path for the other half of the channel lock - but could not find it. So...it waits for me - it will either take another pin this winter, or maybe a mower blade next spring!
