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 .

Fantastic work

Pete68- thanks for joining us ! Looking forward to your IH 4300 build Larry - glad your back on your feet, and thanks for joining us Jim B - hey man glad your joining us! Your Bison sounds fantastic. Have a safe and happy New Years folks see ya tomorrow the kick off of the 2021 BRBO !!!

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 I first double walled all the outer shell to strengthen it up, I originally made it scale thickness but had to fatten it up to avoid damage .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

Like the direction you're going definitely says Olds w the curves

Bumper and lights look great , really like the winch too

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

a 442 camino !!!

Nice!!!! Fresh off the lathe pulleys

Looking good ! I'm starting my 59 next week really like the direction you went

Man your nailing this build ! The tint looks perfect, and the under hood sound deadening loos great ! A TRX would be awesome, the real deal is just rolling off the assembly lines now whoo hoo

Off the charts Bill ! Killer paint work too Happy Holidays too

Jacobus - tough call my friend they all look good

Few more days and we can get building!!!

Tossed a few braces and Meng bolts on for detailing. After looking at bare plastic for weeks this felt really good! One major part i wanted to knock out was the drive motor / cylinder that rotates the drum . A few pieces of rod, and square tube made up the assembly. The gear was found lurking in a spares bin Back to work tomo to pay for my snow tires... Thanks for following

Good work ! Always liked these platforms

Good choice !

Really starting to look ready for duty !!

Big mock up day ! Assembled the chute tower mount and had to see how it looked together I almost had a panic attack when it dawned on me the impeller drum wasn't gonna fit..but it dropped right in..whew !!! now for the chute drive motor and bank cutter parts ..the end is closer !!!

plenty of widgets..half the fun of building from photos is trying to figure out how parts get fabricated !! Theres a bunch of fun parts coming soon..just tackling the chutes now. Thanks ! Thanks ! theres still a ton of parts to make yet ..but its how ya eat an elephant one bite at a time ! Thanks ! funny how those kept me awake, then it clicked ..I think the major assemblies are close, now to add life t each making a small model from all of them. looking at certain parts now look boringly simplied, but once the bolts, widgets, and thing a ma jigs go on..it should pop
