RMCIII 838 #102 Posted October 30, 2014 AJ - nice fab job on the wheel weights.... What do they weigh? Hope you get your seat covered by then, may get a little chilly on the back side! Great choice for the winter duties! Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ_Thanatos 516 #103 Posted October 30, 2014 They weigh very close to 90 lbs each! I am also waiting on my new chains as well. I will snap some pics when I get everything mounted up. Yeah going to have to do something with that seat. The original is so hard to find! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,902 #116 Posted October 31, 2014 I was hoping to start getting things ready this weekend but medical issues will delay that some. But the good news is an epic tractor build may be in the works complete with pics and video! I just need to find a short frame plow within reasonable driving distance from me and we are in business! I do have Elvis ready if needed butStay tuned for further developments as they come in! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fun Engineer 859 #117 Posted October 31, 2014 Looks like this will only last a day [emoji30] PERIODS OF HEAVIER SNOW THIS MORNING ONGOING RAIN WILL TRANSITION OVER TO SNOW ACROSS INLAND AREAS OF NORTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN BY 9 AM AS MUCH COLDER AIR SPILLS INTO NORTHERN MICHIGAN. PERIODS OF HEAVIER SNOWFALL ARE POSSIBLE REDUCING VISIBILITIES DOWN TO LESS THAN A MILE AND PRODUCING A LIGHT COATING OF SLUSHY SNOW ON AREA ROADS. IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW NORTH WINDS WILL INCREASE QUICKLY THIS MORNING WITH GUSTS OF 25 TO 35 MPH COMMON ACROSS THE REGION AND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH NEAR THE LAKE MICHIGAN COAST. THIS WILL PRODUCE WIND CHILL READINGS IN THE 20S. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RMCIII 838 #122 Posted November 1, 2014 Well, I thought, since it is November 1st. and I did no mowing in November that I would get things started for the winter season.... Took the deck off, and prepped it for spring, hung it on the back wall of the garage greased the tractor washed and waxed the tractor mounted the snowblower mounted the rear weights - 60lbs Between the rear weights, wheel weights, and myself, there is close to 400lbs. of added weight to the drive axles.. Seemed to really help last year, the additional weight in the back. All I have left is to mount the cab and put the chains on. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doc724 924 #124 Posted November 2, 2014 Hey Bob, looks sharp and ready for action! I still have one more week of cutting and two more weeks of leaf sweeping before I convert my machine for winter duty. I hope your snowblower belt woes are behind you now! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,728 #125 Posted November 2, 2014 Hey Bob, is that cylinder in the lower chute section stock, or is that something you added? My tall chute has a ZEE shaped wire there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
