Yes, JD and Toro use the same engine. They call them "snow series." I think this one is the 1350? The 8hp is the 1050. The snow series are made for snow blowers, where the other motors are retro fitted to work on snow blowers.

I'll try to grab a pic when I get home tonight.

Why do we want Whitebear's pics from 2008?

Coupla nice one's WB.

yeah he took those pictures 2 years before he purchased that camera.

Actually I think I'm going to settle in on 63 gr of powder for my 264 load.

Whatever was in the load you posted the picture of would work for me.

62.5 and 65 gr both shot well.

But I'm a little worried the 65 gr is too hot for my ruger.

I think I'm going to back down to 63 gr of powder and do some experimenting with overall length.

I'm off the lands .046" right now. I think I'll repeat that seating depth and also try some at .020" off the lands, possibly some at .010 off the lands.

Either way, I know I'm pretty well set with what I've found already.

here's a group with the 62.5 gr charge.

Good glad to hear that Dave.

Dat Whitebear not so smart.....

Forgot to reset the time/date stamp after changing batteries.

They are from the past week. Will you forgive me if I go out tonight & change it?

It don't bug me none. You need a bear hat to do it properly though.

from the dusty cam

wow! very cool! is Nathan gonna try to trap him this winter? I caught one once many moons ago, neat critter

We don't have critters like that here!

Hey there's one of them new fangled Ruger single 10's in the classifieds page 12 I think. Tzone you need that !

Thanks Grizzly Bill Kinda sad now that I dont have a few hunert
pages to read its kinda adicting !

Just wait a day. This time of the year the pages pile on quickly.

Just returned from the Eagle River area. Helped my old friend close up his cottage. Beautiful day in the northwoods. Tamarks were just glowing in the sunlight.

I'm thinking that's a fisher, seems too big for a martin.

I think you're right. The only thing cooler than a Single 6 is a Single 10. I carry that gun nearly every time I'm in the woods now.

For grizzly bill.





and as you can see by the antlers...this Deere is a buck.


Bill, I checed the specs now that I'm home. The engine is a Briggs 1450 Snow Series, 305cc. It's a bit of a beast at 242lbs. Ma said it didn't matter, because she's not going to be using it anyway.

I would tend to agree with Dave, looks like a fisher, martin are smaller and slimmer.

Could be good money for someone looking to put out traps.
