Kelly 1,028 #1 Posted November 20, 2011 Well my oldest son Nick moved out this fall, and into a apartment in town, but part of the deal there was he did the yard work including snow removal, the drive is a circle drive about 50 yards or so, not bad but more than he wanted to shovel, so he asked Dad if he could borrow a tractor we dug out a trusty machine I had used a few years ago for snowblower duty a C-141 8 speed, I've tried selling it here but no bites so we changed the fuel lines and a new filter, he bought a new batt. greased it up changed the trans fluid and engine oil, smokes on start up but runs like a top, we checked everything over, and installed a set of weights and chains, picked out a plow and installed it, we need to put a new shifter boot on and I think he will be set for winter, it's ugly but who cares if your not shoveling, and the boat seat is VERY comfy.

Sparky-(Admin) 19,731 #4 Posted November 21, 2011 , it's ugly but who cares if your not shoveling, and the boat seat is VERY comfy. She aint ugly. Snow shovels are ugly Kelly ! Looks like yer boy should be all set since we all know that shiny paint and perfect decals aren't what make a great tractor. Mike...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gene_S 93 #5 Posted November 21, 2011 I've seen much worse Kelly!!! Your boy will be pushing snow instead of hurting his back shoveling snow!!! I'd be happy with that!!! I think this year I'll try turf tires... I've used ags and chains for years and it seems like everyone likes turfs and chains more... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #6 Posted November 21, 2011 Gene I like the turfs and chains, he got 4 link cleated chains, I like 2 link chains they ride smoother, but he's not complaining, same with the beater plow, and weights that have chunks missing out of them, we picked stuff that would not sell as good as other stuff. And yes it is nice to be able to go out back and pick and chose tractors and parts, we were going to use a C-81 I picked up, but it needed more work than we had time to deal with, he works second shift and most weekends so it was I do it all, or we pick a machine that needed less work.
