I did the mower deck to blower switchout on the '69 Wheel Horse right after T-Day. Since then, I've only gotten one day of use here in WY, as temps have been as high as 60F! I'll take it, but we are ready for Jan/Feb dumping.
The hardest part of the switchover is always attaching the Tire Chains...
The Mower Deck was cleaned, lubed and the blades sharpened for Spring...
