In Puerto Rico we have a summer weather all year round, ..but I will gladly take a trip to the states just to have the same kind of fun you're having plowing that snow...!!!!

Hey Austin nice video! Great to see the little Carry pushing some snow 👍
These old carbs seem to be a problem on these trucks, I bought mine with carb problems as well, someone messed with all the vacuum lines and choke circuit and screwed up the linkage. I also think the stock jetting is very lean, my Carry had a bad flat spot down low, once I fixed some vacuum line leaks it really helped mine out. I actually bought a new carb with a mechanical choke to install soon so I can delete the entire water heated choke.
I’m also replacing all my coolant lines when I’m in there because I have had a few lines split. I will hopefully have a video of the new carb and how it runs posted sometime soon. Take care Austin 🙂👍

Mine plows like a big truck, and it is way more comfortable than a UTV. When one is sitting without the plow on, it has a a perfect fifty fifty weight distribution front to rear.

Putting the electro hydraulic plow on the front added 280lbs to the front, and took about 60 of the back. I ran buy the concrete plant and had them put some sand in the back, and then went out to the scales and shoveled off the extra until I had it back to a fifty/fifty weight distribution.

I bought chains the first winter five years ago. They are still new in the bag, and taking up space in the tool box. I’m running studded snow tires front and rear, and it has never slipped in snow, and rarely when it is icey.

Two years ago, I bought five bags of sac-crete and put them in the back, right above the axle, instead of loading sand. When spring came I left them in the back, and started luring a cup of water over them every day for about two weeks, until they set up. Then I put numbers on them so I know which one stacks where and took them out. Probably put them back in the bed, and mount the plow this weekend.

NO TURBO. Turbos make top end power. Superchargers make low end torque. Trucks need low end torque. Daihatsu in the late eighties, early nineties put superchargers on their Kei trucks, and turbo chargers on their kei cars, becasue the rucks need bottom end torque, and the cars needed top end horse power. An AMR300 supercharger would be a better solution than a turbo.

I was looking at the Carry and thought to myself, “How awesome would it be to have a canvas topper for the back?”. Easily removed and keep stuff dry. I think it would be a great DIY project.

I want one of those now. Not only to help with plowing but would be an awesome trapping and hunting rig!!

Nice videos! If I can pass on two tricks, they are when you push, after you get to where you want, reverse an inch first before lifting the blade. Second, I had to weld a post and gusset to the plow frame angled about 15° from vertical back towards the bumper, with a single shieve pulley at the top. This way the rope runs straight out from the winch, over the pulley and down to the frame. This takes out a lot of line tension believe it or not. The reverse trick...that's so the blade doesn't try to lift the snow. Couldn't tell you how many times I snapped the cable before. Good luck and keep modifying that thing!

I've been wanting one of these but with the dump bed, and rear diff lock. Would make moving dirt, gravel, and rock around the property really nice and easy. Adding a winch and plow would just be a really nice bonus.

A fantastic upgrade from an open-cab tractor. For some reason, I'm betting we see some performance upgrades soon.

[sidermino]

been folllowing your builds for quiet sometime.. hoping for a samurai/jimny for your next build..

[CaptainSkidmark]

If you have gage pins, you may be able to compare the old and new jets.... that thing makes plowing look fun!
I just made a contraption using a drill operated fluid pump to change the gear oil, swapped the gearing in my Tacoma and the recommended gear oil is 85w140, which is like molasses, made the job super easy.... pfft...and my teachers said i'd never amount to anything....lol

Austin, looking forward to a series on this KEI truck with an engine swap and tracks.

[robertbradford]

Excellent little unit for what you doing sometimes I find those low-end stumbles are problem with the accelerator pump in those carbs thanks for the video.

[PurpleCollarLife]

First time watching the channel. That’s an awesome little plow truck! -Chad

[majormojo]

You can get an inexpensive set of carb jet drills that could help you to a)determine what size jets you have, b)clean them out if clogged or c)drill them out larger if needed. You're probably running rich because they are jetted at the factory for sea level. To lean it out, you'll want to try smaller jet sizes.

An older Jeep CJ 5 with the 4 cylinder . narrow snow tires on the corners, best rig I've ever plowed snow with. 78 CJ 5, 3 spd manual..

[SpecialKeiz]

Austin / Mike I changed every hose.. cooling/vac/fuel on a Sambar made a major difference in the way it was running..

[corydriver]

Awesome setup man. Thanks for the video.

[davidgoeken]

Yes you did pick a interesting truck.
Plowing is so much fun!

[johnpearson]

Im planning a similar setup with a Suzuki Carry as well as using it to pull a tow behind mower in the summer.
Im considering a front mount side by side snow blower but am unsure about the weight.

[ronthompson]

Very cool 😎 👌... need a good stereo... a little angel adjustment to the plow helps too... very cool 👍
