  15. Yeah !!!! Another Brockway group build !!!! Know Dave just cast some fresh 361s , mine was part of the new run.
  16. Hey guys I forgot to mention when ya start your builds . Please start a separate thread w brbo in title so they're easier to keep track of sorry I've been slacking off at the helm lol
  17. When I was there last yr they were talking about clearing them out . Thankfully Brockway owners were successful in gaining access to parts before they will eventually hauled away. One truck was purchased, and 2 others kept to restore . It was very humbling walking around looking at them, after hearing stories of their lifetime
  18. Starting and finishing my Brockway 361 mixer for the 2021 BRBO . A tribute build to the retired fleet at barney dickenson. Sadly these iron workhorses have started to be scrapped .

  20. Today I wanted to focus on the discharge chutes. Their an enormous focal point on the snowblower w linkages and brackets going every direction. The chute " leaves " as their actually called have ribs ( not the KC yummy kind) and welded stiffening plates all around. I first double walled all the outer shell to strengthen it up, I originally made it scale thickness but had to fatten it up to avoid damage . Then working front to back adding plates and thin ribs . I spotted a glitch during construction w angle of the long channel, I mounted it too flat. The brace points about 45 degrees when leaves are stored. Trimming the section away and adjusting the angle had everything lining up. That putty mess was needed when the glue melted dips in plastic from my new clamps..oops One last part the squirrels made for me was the bank cutter flap support bar . This rod attaches to a small ram adjusting the angle of the cutters while clearing snow . Thanks for following Have a safe and happy New Years day
  21. Like the direction you're going definitely says Olds w the curves
  22. Bumper and lights look great , really like the winch too
  23. you cant just hand over 100 K for a 700+ HP truck ??? I was blown away when they announced the first run was sold out ! I had to walk out for a peek at my 2020s Bighorns lights, they would be challenging, but you'll nail them ! somehow even w my poverty level truck I scored the awesome LED upgraded lights
