I go through this too in as the winter snows arrive, also for the past 12 years or so. Sometimes I can go through the winter without putting on the snowblower. I keep the blower in the shed, tipped up out of the way. I drive in, slide the mowing deck out sideways and tip that up on its side against the wall. Then I back out. I then tip the blower back down and drive back up over it and hook it up using many of the same spring clips as well as a couple of other relatively simple connections. It is usually really cold when I do this =). Tomes
