lynnmor 6,762 #10 Posted January 15, 2018 I keep one of my 520’s in an unheated barn. It must have gotten jealous because it peed transmission oil all over the floor. I’ve seen this before and now I’m convinced it is extreme temperature changes that causes the uncontrolled bladder problem. The oil appears at the dipstick tube, runs down and spills quite a bit on the floor. Oil level shows correct on the dipstick. 3 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge 3,462 #16 Posted January 15, 2018 We got 4" here , temps are right at 10* and 30+mph winds. Still got the flu, today has been the worse so far in the last week - 102* fever . The wind can move the stuff for all I care...not going out until maybe later in the week. Sarge 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,844 #17 Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) -13 this AM on the Sienna thrmometer. Ran out to get the cable luber for the 520. Got home and wanted to clean up the driveway and sidewalk. C-160 went 10 ft. and died. Electric fuel pump quit. Went and got a pump and finished up and almost got run over by a state plow. Now I got carb problems on the 160 as well. Maybe if I buy 5 more tractors I'll be able to plow once with out an incident. Edited January 15, 2018 by squonk 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,229 #18 Posted January 15, 2018 Squonk, if I were you, I would run screaming into the nearest corn field and hide for a while. Sounds like you have some bad karma brewing...maybe pet the monkey. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,670 #22 Posted January 16, 2018 I’m welcoming the warmer temps the we have been seeing the last couple of days but we have had our fair share of nasty cold temps this winter. I’m so thankful to have this Harman pellet stove to keep our house warm on these cold days... we’ve been heating with this stove for 11 years now and it has been great. We generally burn a softwood mix most of the winter but if it really gets cold, I change to Douglas Fir pellet. I did some snow removal last night but it was about 20 degrees so I was comfortable in my Carhartts. Looking forward to above normal temps after a cold snap tonight into Wednesday morning... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,487 #23 Posted January 16, 2018 We go from frigid cold to warm. Maybe 20 inches in total this year so far. "Maybe" tomorrow 2 to 3 inches. That's ok, my son Mike has been longing to be on the C-175. Those of you with colds, stay warm till your better, been real lucky this year with no colds myself.
