John Deere 726 Snow Blower Repair & Modification Video #2 B&S Intek Powerbuilt Engine Snow Load Test

John Deere 726 Modified Monster Snow Blower clearing 12 snowfall on natural crushed rock driveway.
This JD snowblower was modified from its original 7hp Tecumseh to a 11hp Briggs & Stratton Intek / Powerbuilt engine using most of the original John Deere parts with exception of the turret crank handle support and the guides for lower part of deck.

The John Deere 726 Repair & Modification took place 1 year before the JD 1032 project.

Do you get allot of snow where you live because that's a big snow blower which are usually used for big snows just wondering?

[slowride55]

@31pockets Can you go into detail on how to do this?

[31pockets]

@slowride make sure you check your power settings and set them so the PC never sleeps and is set to High Performance on the CPU at all times on all the settings! a lot of problems happen when these newer PC's go into sleep mode in videos on youtube

with windows 7

The only thing you want to sleep is the monitor screen

those were the problems I had at first

@31pockets well i ran a diagnostics test and the hardware checked fine. so the idiot dell person told me to talk to the software dept. i wish windows 7 didnt have this bug. UGH

@slowride55 I think the 3.2GHz i5 is a dual core with a quad step thread but not sure? I use my PC's for video work only with 1080p and they haft to have a true quad core. When we get the 430's they only have a 2.5ghz with 6 gigs of ram and they also crash with the hot animation, it's only once their speedup they can handle movie making.

I use windows 7 home premium basic

@slowride55 I did have a problem with my dell 5150 last month with a random crash problem, it started with once or twice a week then got worse to once it started to warm up it would crash over and over? I did change out the video card and the problem went away for right now but, the 5150 is only a 3.8GHz. single core and not sure with a 8100?

@31pockets Ours is win7 home edition, 8gbs RAM, 3.2 ghz i5, 1gb graphics, DVD cdrw drive, and a 1tb hd. We don't like it currently because it randomly freezes and reboots all the time! It's very annoying and I've called Dell on it 6 times and it still does it. But if it didn't have that problem it would be very nice. She's a beast.

@slowride55 The xps studio 8100 with the i7 2.8GHz. 8gigs of ram was the original PC I wanted but could not afford it at the time because they were still to new, so we had to get the next best thing for editing 1080p witch was the 430, they work almost as good as the 8100 after the CPU and memory are pumped up! I hope your happy with the 8100?
