.....600 bux. i had to call back to make sure....
That is pretty clean, looks a lot better than the homemade ones that go out the fender. I don't think I have ever seen an underhood shot of TRS1 so that is an added bonus too.This is how I did my snorkel on TRS-1:

It is kind of the honeybadger of my place. The '45 don't care. Mildly amusing, I stuck a 4wd truck of similar weight in that drift. Steering with the brakes the tractor went right thru it and once straightened out I dropped the blade and took the drift with me.Ah, the ol' WD to the rescue.
A good ol' WD almost never fails at the task at hand.. Unless you're severely over-estimating it. Definitely been there before.

Yeah, I keep a good account of where my terrace is and get along pretty good. I am the the fourth generation owner of that tractor.you got to be smart with them....they flip right over
squash ya like a bug.
Yeah, the turbo style precleaners are not cheap. I don't know if a NA engine draws enough air to make them work consistently though.best way to do that snorkel. i priced a 400cfm swirly style prefilter....
i will be shopping around for that.
i have a stang dual somewhere.
Sadly it still happens. I keep the rear wheels out set in the middle for more stability. '45 has wheel weights, fluid and front end weights. That is why it is the snow pusher. The WD is naked and dry at the moment, I need to find a correct rim for it so I can get the right sized tires back on it.
The pre snap coupler WD's (and I think Snap-Coupler was an option for awhile on the WD-45's) were the bad ones. They had the pin hitch underneath and shear pins in the lift arms. Something bad underneath happens and if both shear pins don't shear (and I doubt on a good day many used the correct pins to start with) what you describe would happen. With the snap coupler the lift latches they are supposed to blow open and let go of the implement.The most dangerous thing about the WD series is the snap coupler hitch being worn in the front coupler. One should NEVER operate a rear snap coupler implement without safety chaining it up so it can't fall and dig into the ground. A local man was using a snap coupler plow when I was a kid, without safety chains, and it popped out of the snap coupler but remained attached to the two upper lift arms. The front of it dug into the ground, and before he could get it shut down, it flipped the implement over on top of the seat and squashed him so bad he was unrecognizable. They were basically pulling his body parts and guts out of what was left of the rear of that tractor. His family had it cut up for scrap after that.

I don't do much plowing or ripping with it. I do use it on a 12' snap coupler disk but that is a different kind of cat. It spends most of its time either the three point rig (winter) or a snap coupler carry-all platform (summer) on it.I was just on the Allis forum last night and a guy on there still has a bad back to this day and was complaining about it, because his WD flipped an implement on him when the snap coupler let loose decades ago. The spring loaded release latches didn't release the implement. So safety chains on the front of the implement are paramount. Don't wanna rely on those latches as your only failsafe..

I refuse to ever be that bored but I applaud your efforts at beautification.
That's about an hour with a dremel, buffer wheel and mother's wheel polish. I might have another hour into it before I am ready to swirl it.

It is a quarter inch between the slots so there is 3/4” of meat on the outer mounts and 1-1/4” on the center.
