Rebuilding a Worn out & Abandoned Old Snow Pusher 4 k
What happens here
The team discusses the design improvements in newer Arctic snow pushers, specifically the inclusion of thicker pucks and reinforced boss plates on the moldboard for enhanced durability. They showcase the severely worn original pins and bushings, which are completely rusted and damaged. The process involves installing new, upgraded pucks and the spring system onto the individual moldboard sections. They explain that the newer design incorporates boss plates on both the inside and outside of the moldboard for added strength, unlike the older model which only had them on the outside.
Goal: Install new, upgraded pucks and spring systems on the moldboard sections, incorporating modern design improvements.
