Thank you. It's a trial by fire thing just kinda thought it up needed place for some leds other then the headlights for snowblowing in the dark. We'll see how turns out once all done.

Just saw you're from Maine. 

 

Welcome to Redsquare!!

Couple other nutcases fairly close too. 

@JCM Jim. 

@Stepney Spenser. 

@Oldskool is up a bit more north. 

 

@WheelhorseBob is pretty close over in Rochester NH. 

 

Maybe about time for an impromptu Meet n Greet at this Bear's place. .....

I do not just the yard. But shes getting a amber just cuz I think shes earned it. Plus I live on a blind turn, so the more noticable I am vs the plow truck the better.

Lovin that tall shoot. I spent month or so hunting down any blower I could get hands on after I got the horse. Found 1 about hr up north off a 416-8 for 250. Noobie me left the mount for the blower tube at there house was all excited to mount her up and o couldn't for the life of me figure out how. Lucky some research and a quick visit to E bay got what I needed.

The more lights the better! When it comes to a :wh: vs snow plow situation you need all the help you can get.              :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I see you run turf saver tires on your horse. Was just looking for some input on my AGs people say chains dont work well with them I was gonna get wheel weights and call it good. Think she'll bite?

Ain't likely. Need the metal to grab. 

 

I run ags with chains and it does well. 

 

You'd be fine. 

 

Lemme know if you need chains and I'll what I got laying around.

Yeah I dont have any chains. Like said saw few mixed reviews on AGs and chains. So wasnt sure if wanted to invest in more stuff to collect dust.

I get snow in my face with the tall chute, I try to play the wind, but there are times you just have to take what Mother Nature hands you. I had a cab at one point, but being on the short side I couldn't see when I got up close to things. So I sold it. I'm on the lookout for a snowmobile helmet to see how that might work.

I've never been much of a cab guy myself but I'm also not much for a frozen beard. So it's a love hate relationship. The helmet is a good idea alot easier to put away at the end of the year too

I run chains on those turfs.  Lug tires the chain can in between the lugs and not work as well.

Think I might hunt down a set of rims and get a set of turf with chains for winter use.

Nice light bar!  Having forward and rear mounted lights will surely help you, just make sure they are pointed as so to not get in the back of the snow shot... the reflection off the snow might hinder your actual sight.

      You know those people that have too many projects?? Yeah me neither!  
       
      Another tractor added to the heard. Case International 585 with canopy/sunroof.
      It's a 60-ish horsepower tractor with very limited electronic gimmicks. Has a nice tight turning radius. It was built in Doncaster from 1985 to 1990 and the hourmeter says it has ran 4700 hours since then, I'll take that with a grain of salt though.
       
      Plan is to use it for all kinds of jobs around the house and barn/stable for my gf's horses.
      Ofcourse it is not a new machine so there are things that will need looking after but all the basics are there.
      Pictures you say? Sure!

      I have for sale a 1984 C-105 with deck and Snowblower. I got this as part of a package. There’s no battery and I haven’t tried to start it. I’m selling it as a project. The deck has one spindle out, but with it, as prior owner claims bearing was replaced. The snowblower has the flag and looks to be in very good condition. All but 1 tire holds air. The mower is complete. Includes mule drive. The extra hood (c-175) you see in the picture can go with the tractor for an additional $50. Thx for looking.

      Hi! The shafts of my fathers old 314-8, deck number 73449 have worn to the point the blades don’t stay secured. I’ve struck out tonight trying to find a part number. If anyone can assist, I would greatly appreciate it. 
       
      thank you,

      I finally decided to restore my grandpa's 1974 C-120 with the original HH120 motor on it.   
       
      It will be a big project and i look forward to getting it completed for everyone to see! 
       
      I would like to hear anyone's criticism or advice as i have never done a project this big especially engine work on this level! 
       
      Happy 4th to everyone out there!  
       
      BTW he (my grandpa) is waving at everyone in the picture!
