RMCIII 838 #77 Posted December 20, 2013 MAN O MAN, you fellas posted some really cool pics of your snow gear. seems your ready to battle the white stuff and win. question: I like the snow cabs, where do you buy them? I would like to investigate one for my 416-8. Seems that would complete my rig. And if any of you have positive or negative comments on the snow cab, would like to hear about it. After all thats one GREAT thing about this forum, the accumulated knowledge helps us virgins make good decisions, thanks. Glenn I'm just getting to know mine, first year, but I can tell you exhaust fumes are an issue for me - and it doesn't help that I have asthma. It is nice to be out of the wind though. I wear a mask now to help with the fumes. I've thought about extending the exhaust up above the top of the cab - it may help. Timo - something must be wrong.. I realize GT engines emit fumes that are very potent... But it really should not bother you under operation... Is the exhaust blowing the wrong direction?

Hodge71 663 #78 Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) Heres my plower…at least until the 18 Auto makes its way home from the doctor. 1971 Charger 12 Automatic, wheel weights from a 1974 C-160, chains from an old Buick that I shortened to fit the tires and a 42" plow from 1969…or at least thats what I was told about the blade. SHe clears my half mile long driveway and does a great job except for the bald front sneakers that cause her to slide with an angled blade and a full head of snow… It is a great runner for a $175 because it didnt run when I got it Edited December 20, 2013 by hodge71 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMCIII 838 #79 Posted December 20, 2013 Hodge - you got the hook-up! Blow and bring wood in at the same time. Saves on the gas and overall wear and tear on the GT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,116 #84 Posted December 23, 2013 My Bro KenB having a little fun with his first use of his 2 wheeled snow pusher I picked this little True-Trac walk behind tractor up from my brother Dave via one of our trades, he is also known as JimmyZ. He picked it up from my brother Jim thru one of their trades. I must say, I didn't think I'd have much use for this little walk behind. That is until I tried it, it is fun to use! It has more power than you would think it would. It has a little Clinton engine for power and it has a nice posi that unlocks when you turn it around. It has some real nice heavy cast iron wheel weights on the inside of the tires. I have a lot of walk ways that I clear at work. I have a real nice Ariens snow thrower and Ariens snow blower to use at work. Trouble is, when I salt the walk ways before I leave for the day at 3:30 (so the employess don't fall, law suits etc.) I often come in the next day and have a nice accumulation of fairly heavy mushy snow (thanks to the ice melter) that plugs up both of the Ariens machines. I then wind up having to manually shovel, which sucks, and at 45 I ain't gettin any younger. I'm going to take this walk behind to work and see if it helps with that problem. I was considering bringing one of my Wheel Horse's to work to help with that issue but in all honesty I think this walk behind will be easier to use...We shall see! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shallowwatersailor 3,213 #87 Posted December 30, 2013 FINALLY have the crew together (including my 48" squeegee ) for this year's winter weather. It started off nicely in December, and hopefully the rest of winter will be full of snow! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RMCIII 838 #90 Posted December 31, 2013 John: looks like you have great herd lined up for the white stuff... Nice... Like Craig mentioned, just a few more and you will be able to have one for each day of the week..... If I may, here is a suggestion. A cab, on any one of the GT', would reduce the need to have any additional horses.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

illinilefttackle 399 #93 Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) This year, because I sold my Wheel Horse Blade, I went back to what I had first-a Jacobsen blade modified to fit the C-125A. Everything works, although its kind of Rube Goldberg in places. I do have a blower, but I can't get down to put it on-Thanks for looking-Al HAPPY NEW YEAR!

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,040 #96 Posted January 2, 2014 @Ken- I just saw the walk behind two wheeler for the first time today. Very cool for sure. If you need a set of chains for it, let me know. I have a few laying around. Here is my snow clearing crew. The first is my 1989 520H with 48 inch blade. The other is my 1992 520H with 38 inch berco blower and snow cab. They are talking 6-10 inches in the next 24-36 hours so.... ready to roll !! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
truckin88 104 #97 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) It is not as fun as the horse, but with my work schedule and having no time it gets the job done quick. Here she is at the train station in the last storm. The truck is Beast in snow, the manual hubs are old school awesome when needed. Since fords have the solid axles and not IFS they handle the plows really well. Plus I put new ATs on her and they self clean nicely in deep snow. Already got called for overnight storm duty for thursday with this storm. I am actually going to look for a maroon stripe or c series with blade as the truck has limitations where it can fit into and how close to the house and fence.
