I shure hope the down time is the killer. 1 1/2 tanks of gas before a breakdown is getting old.

The axle is not snapping at the snap ring groove.

I didn't think the Axle was Splined that far out ?
Is there a Snap ring grove at the spot it is snapping ? To me that is a Very ODD Place for an axle to snap !
Must say you got me on this one  :o

I posted the images of the break and found that the opposite side front axle is bent.  Fancy that so we’re pulling that one tomorrow and a new one has been ordered.  Is this when you say I hate my machine.

 rofl hilarious    I can’t remember yesterday but the grandkids just say it’s cause “pop pops old” and after raising 5 kids I’ve learned it’s easier to agree than argue.

At least when the next axle breaks and it’s gets drug out, it looks like it would either keep the carrier from bending or it will bend all of them banana I’m like a kid with a new toy now.   Just have to put it all together..

Oh. Sh t. They are definitely missing and are a key component now that I see them, looks like I’ll be making them. Hopefully tomorrow we will start tearing it apart.

Look at this pic and you will see the Bar/Plates running down the side tying all 3 axles together. This Will Keep the axles in line with the frame when running Tracks. It is a MUST Not just for a snow plow. It came Standard on max 4 Track kits ! Think about it . It is Like 3 frame rails instead of 2 !
