PeacemakerJack 10,650 #11 Posted April 16, 2018 Another round done!!! RED worked great but I did have one small mid step—take a close look at the tractor and see if you see anything missing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benji756 341 #12 Posted April 16, 2018 tire chain? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,650 #13 Posted April 16, 2018 Exactly!!! Good eye! Anyone ever lost one before? I thought these were on really tight but apparently this one unhooked or spun sideways off. I’m just glad I saw it before it wrapped around the axle housing tight and busted something. Old RED was probably kicking off his “shoes” saying that he is tired of his winter clothing and is ready for spring too!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpete1 331 #14 Posted April 16, 2018 Just think how lucky you would have been if the BLOWER found the chain for you..... Even your tractor is tired of the snow. I feel for you guys, I had enough about 2 months ago. Hoping you guys get a heat blast soon.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,650 #15 Posted April 16, 2018 You said it! I can’t inagine the carnage of running a tire chain through a two stage blower— I’m very thankful that I saw it as soon as it slipped off to the inside of the wheel and was able to remove it without incident. I am so so looking forward to spring. Driving around this morning everything looked just like January. We haven’t seen this much snow at one time in our area in a couple of years... Round three of snow removal for me will take place this morning. I have to clean up around vehicles and doorways—still lots of drifts! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
