What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

[WHX?? 54,785]

Since the 867 is done brought this one in. This is the mother of all originals. Only thing that wasn't was the cigar lighter & quickly replaced. Lift cable broke & fan screen gone that's it. Well la dee da. Needs a bath, a little degreaseing and the new to check list. Just can't believe how unmolested this thing is. Yes thats the orginal seat!

The deck is super quiet so just clean that up & check over. 

I really lucked out on this one and you guys would rip yer shirts off i told ya what I paid. 

It may go in the living room when done I'll help her pack.

@WHX?? What are you plans for it other than putting it in the living room and admiring it?

Was supposed to take over mid mount grading duties from the 857 ... now not so sure. A tractor camp mower for sure. Deck seem to lift higher so easy to load without hanging up.

We're expecting 7 ish inches of snow tonight and more Monday. 

The BBT has her Military Tribute Tractor "Millie" ready to go. 

I have The Ugly Bruce tractor being warmed on the engine. 

Both rigs have the batteries on trickle charge.  

The cars are all tucked away in the barn. 

Generator is full of non ethanol fuel.  ⛽️ 

Propane for the stove is full. 

Both interior wood racks are full. 

Plenty of coffee and creamer. 

 

Bring it!!

Geez @ebinmaine... kinda overkill when all you really need to do is send BBT out there... 

[pfrederi 19,850]

Millie's plow seems to be way out in front of the tractor???

 

I see you have the same issue i do the Exhaust (i have the same set up on mine) on ugly bruce heats up the blade and you get ice build up on the back especially...and a bit on the front.

Yep. That's a Long Frame on a short tractor. 

It appears even longer because of the angle of the blade we use.

It do. Yessir. I also haven't done a smooth paint job or any type of lube on the blade. 

We don't find it too important here because there's plenty of open space for extra pushage.

It looks like the left front needs a little air there @ebinmaine

It's good. She keeps em low and those are wide for the rim. 

Soft tire = better traction.

Very important! Ive had one snap off and fall into the engine! If that happens, you've gotta pull it.

Got 8 ish of that really wet heavy crap. It was really like blowing concrete. Kept plugging up the single so took that hooby doo out of the inside of chute and helped but just blew it everywhere. Out come the deuce. 

How much you get @Achto  it was weird 10 miles away as the crow flies they only got 1".

About 6" at my house.

 

Oshkosh had maybe 2"

Still snowing lightly... but we only got maybe 5 inches. This was a nor' easter and we live on the southern side of the mountains. Usually we end up with less than the other side of the ridge.  

 

Looks like another 4" forecast for Monday. 

[Handy Don 15,850]

Got tired of wrestling my mower deck around the garage in the off-season so I threw together a simple cart with casters. Now it fits nicely and isn’t tempted to fall over.

We got about 5" here in Brunswick as well. I just finished clearing the driveway. It's sunny and just warm enough that it's melting off the asphalt pretty quickly...just in time for more on Monday. 

 

I'd rather have rain than snow, but at least every snowstorm counts toward relieving our drought situation. I'm also hoping for a cool, wet spring, partly to lessen the drought, and also to reduce the browntail moth population.

Brunswick Diner breakfast...👍

[Sparky-(Admin) 24,573]

  I picked this up at one of the Wheel Horse Shows (I think ). Maybe I bought it from someone here?? Either way it caught my eye and came home with me thinking it would make a good wall hanger. That and I can’t afford the price that authentic WH signs bring. 

  As you can tell it’s the back off of a bagger hood (bagger pic for reference). Still needs a second coat, and trying to decide if that lower wide stripe area should be “linen beige” .

Thanks! 
  I think if I actually had a WH bagger I would do this to it

Reckon what another red stripe would look like?

[WHX?? 54,785]

Way cool Sparky.  Cut this off the back off of one of those trashed fender pans. 

[WHX?? 54,785]

Ok @Sparky on further review please tell us you didn't buy a whole gallon of paint just for that.

Her car getting a makeover?

Matching the new living room drapes?

Want us to bring over some paint rollers?

Nah! 
  It was a brand new gallon that was leftover on a job and we aren’t allowed to store paint at work…so it came home with me. Have had it a few years now, today was the first time the lids been off. Took quite a bit of stirring/mixing to make it become “paint” again ! 

[WHX?? 54,785]

Ok your allowed ... yep paint the stripe linen  ...  no wait paint it a really bright white. The 'Fish @wallfish will dig that.
