17 pointsThis storm is really the first major use I have had in three years for my cab-covered C-175/Blower. (Not that I'm complaining)! First off, I was getting hot sitting in there for the 45 minutes to do my drive and a few of the neighbors driveway openings from the plow going by. It really is the Cat's A**! However........I'll need to get a small 12 volt fan to run against the front plexi-panel. I was fogging up a lot. Out on my township road, I wouldn't have seen a semi coming without wiping all the panels down every couple minutes. It was nice to not be covered in snow, have a wet butt and I didn't use hearing protection. (The cab cuts down on the sound quite a lot)! I should have had one on my plow and blowers back when I first started this WH madness. I could get used to staying dry!

15 pointsI have finally finished the restoration on my 72 Raider. I want to thank FunEngineer, Vinyl Guy, A-Z Tractor, and most of all, Glen Pettit.

12 pointsFinally it looked like Winter was going to arrive today! This - after the daffodils and cherry blossoms were already blooming. But, the line moved further North and the sleet and rain took over. We were in the 8-12" forecast range but was actually 4-5" of wet, wet snow and a lot of sleet. I have to admit for this snow storm I wish that I had a steel edge on the plow instead of the UHMW.edge. It had a tendency to "ride over" the ice underneath. I always wait until the county plow comes by before going out to do my neighbors and my driveways. It was nice to have the second cab on the plow tractor considering my other cab never got installed this Winter!. With the 25-30 mph wind blowing I hardly felt the weather while plowing for two hours.

6 pointsThis is a chipper I use to make leaf mulch. Got tired of picking up the mulch off the ground after running through the mighty mac so I added another attachment!

6 pointsGreetings comrades . A friend of mine ( who wishes to remain anonymous ) wanted me to post this here because he is too chicken . Anyway would anyone be able to help put a price tag on this Cub Cadet ? My thinking is in the neighborhood of $1200.00 > $1400.00 USD . Cub Cadet 169 16hp Kohler, runs great. Hydraulics and 3pt hook up in rear. Great shape with new tires?

6 pointsJust because it is snowing outside A-Z Tractor is still able to sell parts because the goal is to disassemble the tractors as soon as possible and have the parts on a shelf ready to ship. Enjoy winter with the rest of us but don't hesitate to call for parts at A-Z Tractor because our inventory is inside and future parts are waiting outside for spring. Phone 1-717-821-2542 email is aztractor255@gmail.com website http://a-ztractor.com/

6 pointsJust tell the wife, "It's on clearance!!!!" For some reason, my wife can't seem to avoid the clearance aisles and usually buys something that we really don't need only because it was on clearance.

6 pointsThat is a sweet looking horse. My dad's old 161 looks dark too and it's original paint with some touch up so it might be age. This is it compared to the redone 701 I got from Denny Clarke.
-
5 pointsWelcome to RED SQUARE. No the 3 point does not go to the Transmission It is in depended on its own runs off a hydraulic cylinder under the tractor and a pump off the side of the engine. I have 3 D-250s have questions just contact me.

4 pointsSometimes when she tells me NO...I'll just fall outa my chair and throw a fit ...Then she just looks at me and tells me that's some good therapy...now lets seeya get back in... Hate to see what will happen if I come across a reel mower...
-
4 pointsThat is a hand push cultivator, when I was a kid my dad had a 1/4 acre garden next to the house we had a couple of these great tools. We used this between rototiller session to keep the weeds under control. Many of these were made by Planet Junior. In soft soil they work wonders and are easy to control and limit damage to the vegetables.

4 pointsI got it! Man is it a beautiful machine - 481 hours with the bagger and canopy and a deck - there was no oil leaking anywhere at all - the column motion control will take a minute to get used to but not really an issue IMO - I got it for $525 - I can probably sell my junky craftsman for close to that so it will be like I traded for it - its bigger than I expected which is good - the bagger is an original wheel horse so that's a huge bonus and it hooks up in basically seconds - too easy. At idle this thing is SUPER quiet - that was unexpected. The only negative I could find on it is that the seat needs replaced - I hate to even say that - very grateful to have this thing - thanks everyone for your input! oh yeah, one more issue - the idle adjuster when set all the way up immediately starts to jog down about halfway - seems like a simple mechanical fix but has anyone else ran into this issue? would love some more info on that foot pedal kit if you have it or remember the guy that did it

4 pointsThe wrapper 20a is the main snowthrower body including the end plates. The wrapper name likely comes from the fact the sheet metal wraps around the auger. Most of us think of it as a blower housing assembly as it is welded together forming a single part. Your model may be slightly different than the 1978 model as minor improvements were made over the years. Garry

4 pointsI recently purchased this one and has the same color paint.. Mine looke to have had some touch ups but not a complete repaint. I bet that is the color paint used at that time..
-
4 pointsFor a professional rebuild of both the pump and motor that is not way out of line. (I was quoted about 500 for the motor a few years ago) They will use new parts and they are not cheap. if you have some skills and time you can do much better on your own. A lot depends on how badly worn/damaged your unit is.

3 pointsHello all, This storm has been boring and all too commonplace. Maybe it will pickup... I dunno. Im not looking for death and carnage but the stupid weather guys made it seem a whole lot more impressive. At least I got day off! Tony 20170314_081147.mp4 20170314_080442.mp4 20170314_081526.mp4

3 pointsWHX9 I got to thinking about the resto comment after I looked at that muffler.
-
3 pointsMachine was in rough shape when i got it. It sat in a friends shed for years. He was gonna scrap it and I decided if I could get it running I'll use it to roto-till my garden. Well once I got it running, well you know the rest, complete restoration, transmission, engine, every nut and bolt. Transmission lever I believe it was just set on there for the time being. Started around the end of September, finished about 2 weeks ago. Gonna go look at 2 more up in Dudley Mass. this Saturday. Not sure what they are. Thanks

3 pointsI see quite a few parts that could be salvaged, painted RED and used to rescue a distressed .

3 points24" and wind. That 16hp Kohler was working the governor...right up until the belt broke. Replaced that (by the way what engineering genius made the drive pulley so close to the housing you have to remove it to put the belt on!!!) Finally broke through to the road (only one pass by the town plow. Then the cable for the chute pulled out of its clamp. i do not have a cable cutter and the end was frayed so i couldn't get it back together right away. got her back to the shop (snowblowers do not make good snow plows thank the heavens for the 10 pinion ltd slip.. Got the cable rethreaded but i was cocktail hour...besides i ain't going nowhere for the next day or two. Will be back out i the AM to do it all over again

3 pointsReally nice restoration on a classic and with . I gotta ask though...at what point did you realize the tranny shift lever was on backwards?
-
3 pointsNot a 250 expert but they will be along, I know @maxiblue is tho ... in the meantime Tiny

3 pointsWe got the condensed version Jeff. One of the heaviest ever. It was a challenge for 520 tall chute. I had two clogs in an hour of throwing. Then I switched to the 312 w/blade. I'll say it again, those rubber chains are amazing. I am glad I replaced those little 6" fronts with 8"ers. They gave the plow a little more height which was a big help in stacking the snow.

3 pointsGot some seat time in Litchfield County. They are saying 18-24". This is the third time I hit the driveway today. Did the neighbor's twice

3 pointsIt's needs vs wants. I don't NEED 15 Wheel Horses and implements but I do WANT them! I didn't NEED to purchase a N.O.S. Wheel Horse planter but I really did WANT it! Then there's wants vs financial ability, I really want a 420 LSE but......

3 pointsPost some pictures of your tractor and you will get a definite answer to your question plus any others you might have about it. Otherwise it's just a WAG.

3 pointsI'm surprised guys are using E clips to hold their front tires on instead of snap rings. E clips seem to come off much easier than a snap ring does.
-
2 pointsI like tractors. Am averse to closets:-) id like to have that one in my stable. Would like it more with a 3 point through.
-
2 pointsLooks like a good solid tractor to me. Your definitely in the ball park with your thought on the price. Of course I like my money in my wallet so I would try for a lower price.
-
2 pointsSay cluck cluck to your bro for me Digger! I'D say you are not too far off the mark if your a Cub collector. I would personally start the bidding at say 900 just because I always want something for nothing and top out at 1350. Might very well go much higher than that to a Cub freak. Looks to be well cared for and a decent resto. Unless it's not a resto??? As with our horses that girl was made with our grandfather's steel. No aluminum blocks here! I just always like the way cubs had their Kohlers twisted.

2 pointsWe should let some of our European members do this one. Some of the British slang and colloquialisms would be a blast to figure out. Oh, by the way; today is National Pi Day. Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi) in the US. Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14 in themonth/day date format) since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant digits of π.[2][3][4][5] In 2009, the United States House of Representatives supported the designation of Pi Day.[6] Pi Approximation Day is observed on July 22 (22/7 in the day/month date format), since the fraction 22⁄7 is a commonapproximation of π, which is accurate to two decimal places and dates from Archimedes.[7] The earliest known official or large-scale celebration of Pi Day was organized by Larry Shaw in 1988 at the San Francisco Exploratorium,[8] where Shaw worked as a physicist,[9] with staff and public marching around one of its circular spaces, then consuming fruit pies.[10] The Exploratorium continues to hold Pi Day celebrations.[11] On March 12, 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution (HRES 224),[6] recognizing March 14, 2009 as National Pi Day.[12] For Pi Day 2010, Google presented a Google Doodle celebrating the holiday, with the word Google laid over images of circles and pi symbols.[13] The entire month of March 2014 (3/14) was observed by some as "Pi Month".[14][15] In the year 2015, Pi Day had special significance on 3/14/15 (mm/dd/yy date format) at 9:26:53 a.m. and also at p.m., with the date and time representing the first 10 digits of π.[16]That same second also contained a precise instant corresponding to all of the digits of π

2 pointsI'll show you my tally sometime.. record of times a tractor would not start and after an hour of wringing out wiring circuits, you discover some dummy left the PTO engaged.
-
2 pointsThe knobs thread on or thread and glued on but maybe @GlenPettit sells the smaller style control knobs to replace them on those new assemblies. Vendor A-Z tractors seems to have a bunch of parts so he may have an original set.

2 pointsIt's coming down pretty good right now. They're still say'n 18" - 24" for my area. Bet there will be some big drifts too since the wind is screaming and the light fluffy snow is come'n down sideways.

2 pointsMy wife has that same saying. My saying is a little different: " if I needed it I wouldn't want it and usually if I want it I don't need it. ". Of course our wives are right.

2 pointsI use the starter/generator for its intended purpose. It beats pull starting the engines! As far as the torque measuring system, it's very simple. The engine spins the shaft, the brake actually floats on the shaft and as you apply brake force the brake wants to rotate downward. That's where the fish scale on the end of the arm comes into play. It measures the torque output in lb/ft. However I did slow it down to half speed, therfore I had to make my measuring arm 2ft instead of one. I think this made it safer and more efficient my self though, as it really keeps the heat down when applying the brake. joel

2 pointsWhile doing some more searches, I have found some hand plows, but this doesn't really look like the other ones. Any type of hand plow must be some real work.
