Got the cars covered, blower tractor and plow tractors in position, the little Toro 521 2-stage blower is ready and the truck is plugged in. Ready!

February 22, 1888 “Father of American Golf” John Reid first demonstrates golf on a Yonkers cow pasture to friends.

It's those small acts of kindness that make the most difference! Bet that guy never forgets. Imagine if everyone "pays it forward 3 times"

Today it was hard to believe that there’s a blizzard coming. I went down to the ocean to check it out. It was beautiful! Monday the seas are supposed to be 9-15’! As I looked to the east I noticed someone stuck and close to the water with an incoming tide. I walked back to my truck to get my binoculars and saw the guy digging out with a DOG BOWL! So I figured I’d do the right thing and grabbed the shovel and two tire pressure gauges out of my truck then walked about a quarter mile down the beach. Where I was parked you can’t just drive on. When I got to this gentleman he was super appreciative and really nice. We dug and dug and aired it down to 15psi. As we were almost done another guy walked down the beach with two of those plastic board boards with the nipples sticking up that are supposed to help you get unstuck. Apparently this guys wife saw this going on and called him to come lend a hand. We jammed them under the rear tires and he was out! The owner of the vehicle was very happy with our help and asked for my name and address. Three hours later two nice bottles of wine were delivered to my house from the local liquor store with a thank you note attached!

Let he who hasn't done something stupid cast the first stone! LOL I can't

Raffle tractor for this year...Coming along!

Nice day today so...

Ok 3 cars and 2 tractors covered out side before a big storm. What's in the garage?

How about flames?

Yepp. The Military Tribute Tractor is mentioned above. That red one is my 1975 C160 Automatic. Brighter red than OE Wheelhorse.

How about these two Eric.

I use a cheap tubing bender and hardware store compression fittings.

Exactly ... I been driving on frozen lakes here for fifty years .. dad & gramps alot longer and never had this problem. They just new & guess I learned from the best.

Correct @Handy Don he pretty quickly admitted that he didn’t know what he was doing. I grew up driving on the beach, learning from some old timers and experience. Since high school (which is about two miles from where those pictures were taken) I have been towing and/or helping people off the beach.

Not an experienced beach driver. Close to the soft sand at the water eded and driving into a low spot where water has flowed farther up the beach.

Interesting to live where you do Don. We can't fathom that kind of $&^T here. Thanks for sharing.

I always liked this one, from @jachady. We haven't heard from him in several years, but he used to run a small garden tilling business with this tractor, maybe still does.

Polished the hood and added decals thanks to redoyourhorse very very nice decals!

How bout crappy rattle can red over rust??? 🤣 Thats how I bought it. My 654 is a 10 footer. The paints lighter red than Regal Red.

@nylyon yup , ready , generator run , covered in calf hutch , blower set in garage , for initial , house to road opening , 50-60 mph winds , should make it interesting , we are are on a main road , usually regularly plowed , been here 45 years , my neighbor across road , is very good , we regularly open up for each other , just to get it going , plow / blow back , that alone is a major assist , others near me , have no clue , brain dead . ocean pizza last night , hamburger / bacon pizza , and clam strips , little house on the prairie , IDIDAROD PETE

Only have a 2 car garage keeps the wife’s Q5 and a classic 1987 300ZX Turbo

Used the 418 yesterday to remove 5'' of snow. Waiting on 9'' to 12 '' on the coastline starting tomorrow morning between 4 and 7 am. Try to get some more pics. I'll try to get in touch with this guy, just maybe he can lower the snowfall a bit , not sure though even he has a confused look on his face. When I hear the word heavy snow fall I know we are in for a workout. Oh well add the amount to the already tall snow piles. BE SAFE OUT THERE NOR' EASTER ON IT'S WAY ?????

did one in sublime green mopar color,

24 years on a 91 520-H. Still on the original fan. With a spare in stock just in case.

Eaton's are usually pretty cheap at the show. The cost climbs with the hot dogs and root beer floats you have top buy for the help you need moving and loading them. Things are freakin heavy!

Alright that's it! Me seeing you happy! LOL And BTW, Highly doubtful "You got some"

I got some Don ... don't take much to make me happy ... the SG club badge .. Handy.

So now you got something against wheelies?????

When the national weather service upgraded the warning for my neck of the woods to “Blizzard,” I started to take this seriously. Current we’re in the 12-18 band with the localized being 11-15. We’ll see!

Be safe out there!

Lots and lots of folks run chains and a fan without interference. There must be a way. IMHO, it is a poor bet that a cold ambient temperature will somehow offset not having a fan during a plowing/blowing session which has a lot of direction changes and forces the Eaton to work hard. It is no accident that WH added a transaxle high temp warning light to higher horsepower models.

Man, I envy you fellers that are in them target rich areas. We just don't get that many opportunities around here, especially on any S/G models. I did get lucky the other day on the 520h and 312-8 and the assortment of equipment. really couldn't afford all of them, but they would not separate. I just couldn't pass on it since it was just a 45min drive to pick up.

$5.00 shipping is what it shows in my shopping cart.

I spare Handy Don and RI Bill. Yes, Viton is comparable with gas, oil, grease. It is an upgrade from conventional rubber.

yes - here in Hudson River Valley --- a t-shirt and lite sweat shirt on top of that a couple days ago I was wandering outdoors completely comfortable -- looks like the Monday 40 mph wind with the wet snow may make for an adventure - might be some lost power issues ????????? UGH !

Yah ... learned to not let Kev do my shopping ...

All perspective. There's an hour you learned something too. Learning what not to do is just as important as learning what to do. It ain't gonna take you an hour the next time!

Just crazy this weather lately. Today I was in just a sweatshirt doing things and was comfortable! And now we have to believe it’s going to snow!

nORM! had his Black Horse set up for judging plowing matches! Marvin was just WH colors in reverse

Atomic Orange might be cool?

I had a sudden battery failure in a large busy parking lot on Friday, a little old lady and a young chick with a jump pack both stopped and offered help. The dudes in the Silverado and Ram diesel idling nearby avoided eye contact. I had help coming but it was interesting to see who the good “guys” were.

Enough my gut hurts again...

Absolutely Don like Ed Dog posted. .. I run some pretty rad chains but have everything nipped in the bud. Coupled of machines I simply have them loose ends tie wrapped/wired out of harm's way. No fan blades have been harmed in my tractors. Stole that fine fine SG club sticker Don Looks good on you

Well we can track it then ... maybe some dna too? ...

Go text Bob he's like me he's gotta buy some friends too. Lowell you gotta pay to be his friend. He's prolly got just the rubbers too. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product/brass-fuel-fittings-qty-2/

I've got some. How many do you need? Text me 443-398-6544

During summers in high school I had a job painting houses. One client wanted their farm outbuilding painted as well as their house, including a huge barn with a second story hay loft. It had a Dutch gable wood-shingled roof that needed some repairs and then full roof paint. That was by far the scariest job we ever had and it took about a month for the whole job.

First instinct is to replace the fan blade and stop whatever is breaking them from happening again. Like a well placed guard or 2 maybe? Cage? But an oil cooler would work too. Probably need a small 12v fan to run air through a small radiator. All of that stuff is available on amz but it seems like a lot more work and effort involved vs just protecting the fan blade IMO

Got bundled up to walk down to the barn in the back ground. Driveway down has significant drifting./ Already feels hard. Will have to use the blower but wind continues tomorrow so may wait until Monday. It is 15 degrees in the shop where she is parked....
