Rebuilding a Worn out & Abandoned Old Snow Pusher 4 k
What happens here
The team proceeds with the systematic disassembly of the snow pusher, focusing on removing the side wings. During this process, they observe and note the severe wear on the pins and bushings, which are critical pivot points in the plow's design. This observation reinforces the decision to replace all worn components. They continue to use impact guns and other tools for removal, emphasizing the plan to replace elements like springs, cutting edges, and blocks to update the plow.
Goal: Disassemble the snow pusher's wings and other components, noting specific areas of extreme wear for replacement.
