Congrats Mike, hope the wheel weights were worth the price of admission!

 

On the plus side of those front tires, you could fluid fill ‘em for better plowing steer action…

  This ol’ gal won’t see any snow chores while it lives here. Right now this is a test to see if I even like a short frame hydro. It’s one of the few models/types I have never owned. 
  I paid a bit more for it than the weights are worth so it was actually a good deal for me. I can’t loose if I decide to sell it with the plow but keep the weights

I'm sure you are going to love it. Short frame hydros have become my favorites.  Now you need a short frame, big block, hydro !!

  Lesson learned that I should cruise through Craigslist more often.
  Tend to forget that not everyone is on Facebook and Facebook Marketplace and those people will still utilize Craigslist.

If the hydro is strong, shorties are great for quick clean up of moderate snowfalls because they turn so sharp and the hydro is faster.:helmet:

For me Mike it is easier to handle than F/B marketplace. That confuses me a lot. Spider webs in the belfry. LOL.  Bought and sold a lot on that site thru the years.

You can do like some people and save searches on CL.  No real browsing, just emails when a posting that fits my criteria come up within my search radius….

A brush Brush happy restorer :angry-banghead:,couldn't tell by the pic.Im sure you will take care of that. 

CL is one of those places that will occasionally get a few WH deals now and then, not too often but worth checking in once in a wile.Found a B80 and plow for steel there last time I checked .

She needs to be gone thru…fluids, filters, carb/RPM adjustment etc. But for now I swapped out those 18” fronts for a set of “factory Wheel Horse” fronts with the logo and all. Removed the rear weights, tire chains and plow. Much easier to muckle it around now. 
  The way the air filter housing say I assumed it didn’t have a filter element, turns out it was just a really shallow one. She has a proper filter now. 
  Hydro pump was clean as a whistle!! That’s a good sign!

Not sure how I’ll attack the brush work just yet. First order will to be get it mechanically sound and trustworthy. Then aesthetics will be dealt with.
