Joe cringed when I told him what I would be doing with the tracks that I bought from him, but I think it all turned out all right in the end. Anyone have a blade or snowblower that fits the front of these?

The steering arm is connected to the brakes. When you turn left, the left brake is activated. When you turn right, the right brake is activated. There was a picture on here a while ago of a 140 that used levers to steer, but I wanted to retain the wheel.

Hey Mark,
Nice to see it done. I still think your nuts, but it looks cool!

Tod,
Do you know what model they are? Is it manual or hydraulic lift? I'd prefer hydraulic since this already has the outlets up front.

I got a 54" blade for it this summer and it is really a snow pushing animal now.

This is what started the whole project. Since we farm with a 9520T and an 8400T we thought a 316T would finish the family.
