Ready For the Snow

[Suburban 550 28]

Well, it won't be too much longer before the snow starts to fall, so I figured I better get ready. Got both horses all ready last weekend and they're rarin' to go.

Here's the C-121 with the snowblade

And a couple of pictures of the Raider 10 with the single stage snowblower and homebuilt cab

And a couple closeups for Mike (bustedglass)

And the two of them in their stable patiently waitin' for the first flake to fly

That' a neat snow cab! Can I be nosey and ask if it was expensive to build? Nice tractors by the way, have fun in the snow.

Neat cab!! Kinda looks like that thing the Pope use to ride around in! :scratchead:

Al, you're not the first one told me that. Well I'll have somethin' for him to ride in if he ever decides to come to town. :scratchead:

real nice pair of horse,i really like the matching stripes,is the cab plexi glass and if you dont mind how much for the gless?

Don, the cab is 1/4" plexiglass. All the materials were donated by a friend and it was up to me to design it. The cab was built back in 1996.

Ray those look great!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just another reminder to me that I need to get on the stick! Nothing worse than trying to get things hooked up with snow out in the driveway! :hide:

How well does it plow without wheel weights???

The cab is very cool, been thinking of doing something like that only using building foam board, and plexi glass windows, to keep cost down.

As someone who has had much comments on lighting

I like the hood stripes.

The first thing I thought was pope mobile. Looks like you are ready for battle. Some fine looking tractors.

Kinda thought that maybe I will at least get the oil changed before then. Now that I think about I have to get the plow out from its hiding place. Get the chains out and put them on. Check the oil in the gearbox for the blower. That reminds me I have to make a new foot for the plow. Grease everything. Oh man what am I doing here on the computer? I need to go and get this stuff done.....It can wait till tomorrow. :scratchead:

Thanks guys for all the compliments. Bitten, I know what you mean about gettin' off the computer and doin' things that need to be done. This is the first year I have everything done so early. Paul as far as wheel weights both tractors have about 60 lbs. of home made lead discs in each rear wheel behind the hubcaps. The C-121 is virtually unstoppable when it comes to plowing snow. It's a real worker.

Thanks Ray,

Ingenious design and fabrication. I am a retired glazing contractor, and we did a lot of projects with plexi-glas. But, this is the first time that I have seen a "COMPLETE" tractor cab made from plexi-glas. All I can say is, you sir are a "Master" .
