Made sure my plow rig was ready for tomorrow’s possible snow event. Won’t be a deep snow but still needs to be cleared off the driveway. One headlight…but like most of ya’ll I have spare old/used ones kicking around. My 510-8, half the horsepower but twice the dependability!!!

They will untangle. Start at one end and pass the short end thru to get cross chain #1 and #2 laying correct. Then continue with #3,4,5, etc. untill they are all laying correctly. Here is a correctly laying chain. And by passing the red hooks thru #1 and #2 cross chains, you get this. The same as your picture. The cross chains appear to lay correctly, but the twist is in the side chains.

blasterdad...sweeeeet CJ! ML3...beer, crown royal and cigars. talk about like minded! too bad you live so far away. regards mike

Looks like we're forecast for another inch or two tomorrow.

RJ25 to go with the 35 will do, or if even smaller is needed a hooded walk away Jr. please.

Matt’s seats are high quality. Matt does it right!

I know...... Was looking forward to that too. Imagine my disappointment. Got a potential lead on 18hp Briggs & I been exploring alternative power options.

Calling for 2-5 here overnight, maybe will get some plowing in tomorrow.

Sure wish we could have seen a vid of the Ber Vac chuckin some snow.

This showed up today unexpectedly. 12hp Raider with a box full of parts. Guy I bought Workhorse from felt bad bout motor being bad. Last week we spoke & he offered up the 12hp & 8sp if I wanted them. He said they could offset the cost of replacement engine. Thought it was a nice gesture. Shows up today with the entire tractor!

Oh, look! Santa came early!

Picked up these rubber tire chains at this summers Wheel Horse Show. Anyone use them? Thoughts? Might set up a second plow rig with these on it, see how they “grip”

Swapped a few things around here. Workhorse GT1800 outta the workshop space. That's staying by the firewood until @OldWorkHorse gets a day to stop by. After Millie was done plowing snow she went in the workshop. Millie needs both belts. S/G and main drive. Gotta diagnose why it's already eaten a main drive belt. May be normal usage. May be a burr on the belt guard. Also did some experimentation with the Super Scooper on the front of my '75 C160 Automatic. I've posted a video in the Implements Section. Got The Ugly Bruce tractor out for a bit to play in the snow too.

Their version of LOTO. Lock Out Tag Out

Our village is home to a major railroad equipment maintenance facility that occasionally invites the public for tours. One year I learned that when mechanics begin work on a train that must be completed and inspected before the train can be moved, the mechanic hangs his name tagged blue-flashing lantern on the controls. Only the mechanic should ever remove it.

Glad you made this post. Changed the oil in the 418-C yesterday. Drained the old oil, drain cap sitting on the foot rest, put the funnel in the fill tube, measured the new oil to be put in, got a phone call, went over to neighbor's house to assist him, came back, picked up the oil can - - - - stopped, asked myself "What would @Bar Nuthin do next?" Put the oil can down, looked at the foot rest, installed the drain plug and saved myself from wasting a quart and a half of oil.

Glad I’ve never done anything silly to be in this thread….
