My boss said I'm not allowed to go out till it's over. Time to fry up some deer scrapple then watch some football.

Still dark outside and miserable--three degrees and a goodly amount of snow for southwest Missouri. If it's that cold, I'm sure it's even colder in Hell--Hell, Michigan that is. I'll bet it's froze over! It's also breakfast time. Wife made ham and beans yesterday along with cornbread. Cornbread means.... Cush for breakfast. I'm sure I've mentioned this before but Cush is a meal my grandma would make. It's crumbled cornbread, plenty of pepper and water added to give it body. Grandma would heat the cornbread mixture in a skillet but we use microwave. The gravy has some of my double smoked bacon. I cook the bacon so it's just a little crunchy and we make the gravy somewhat thin so it mixes with the cornbread. Mercy it's good eating.

+9F with a stiff 15MPH East wind that is drifting the fine snow. Just on the leading edge of the storm now. As it moves Northeast the wind will shift from the North and pile up some snow. About 3"s down now.

Well ready as I can be... That time of year in this soft state. Grab a few buds, some suds, and a sharpened stick and you could overturn this entire state. half inch of ice so far here.
-
So that's what you look like...

You got you a good strong solid working beast there mister.

I do the same. I give a shot or two right into the flywheel screen while it’s running at a low idle so that it gets distributed under the engine shrouds. And of course it also gets on any wiring under the shrouds.

Ready to go in SE Ohio! Since the last post: --fabricated new drag links with adjustable heim-style rod ends --ballasted both fronts --added from tire chains --replaced shifter boot --replaced clutch/brake spring Should be ready for this latest storm 🦾🦾

I use this on and around engine when in storage. And other areas of the tractor. I even use it for the truck engine apartment.

@pfrederi I never tried them in the snow on a wheel horse. I had a very old Sears tractor early 60`s from what I can remember they did work good in the snow. This was before I even heard about wheel horse. I think early 90`s. Thanks for the reply.

I'm Not Sure Why, But I Now Have a B-80
Racinbob replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Round or flat is fine. The problem with how yours is connected is that the only floating you'll have with a mower deck mounted will also move the lift arm. You need the deck to float. The longer lift link bypasses the horizontal lift arm and goes from the blade directly to the upper arm. Sometimes there's some interference with that horizontal arm when the blade is attached. It's ease to remove it for the winter or, in my case, year around. I have a tractor dedicated to the blade. -
'Tis the calm before the storm here this fine morning. - 14⁰ F Expect we'll see the white stuff around 1 to 2 pm. We're forecast for approximately 16".

Internet...yes RED SQUARE ONLY! These guys and gals know stuff! I do not know as much as the collective members. That stated I know a lot about a lot. Toot toot or some such nonsense. Feel free to ask the web about something, anything you are absolute about. (something you actually know to be precise) Trust me it will @#$$ the bed.

That is the best AI comment I've heard to date...

The moderators have issued a one time, emergency, dire-need waiver of the Redsquare "no pictures didn't happen" rule. The collective sigh of relief is palpable...

diggin the new gloves ya got on Spark....

Should be a fluffy/light 12-20” snowfall here in Central Connecticut (that’s what we’ve been told) so clearing it will be easy enough. No rush to clear it, do some on Sunday and again on Monday. Company already said we could work from home so I won’t have to venture out in it. Might even be fun dealing with it

Figured out the problem. Apparently when a mouse builds a nest under your engine cover and chews through your spark plug wire it's hard to get a spark. After taking some things apart I found a dead mouse and his giant kingdom he build in my engine. He chewed right through the plug wire. Luckily I had my nephew with who had a friend close bye with a new ignition coil. We were able to replace the part, tape up some exposed wires and the horse was purring like a kitten. My shed isn't mouse proof, I feel like I let the tractor down, she deserves better. The 312-8 has been moved to my attached garage and has the blade and chains on waiting to tear through Snowpocalypse 2026!

just a dusting so far not even enough to turn driveway completely white. Wedderman calling for 3 tenths ice tonight and I hope he's wrong. Hope everybody stays safe and warm and may your Wheel Horses always have fuel and enough air in the tires to get ya home.

Remember kids, artificial intelligence is no replacement for natural stupidity. But they are working on it.

FYI. So, as you may know, the scraper is reversible. When I removed the old one I was able to flip it around and use the other edge. In doing that I got accurate dimensions as follows: 3/16”(7 gauge) x 2” x 34-1/4” There’ s your dinner!

@lynnmor just went and remeasure the camshaft end play with out the shim, measured .016 so a .010 shim should do the trick. Well I have to get a shim now, I buggerd up the .005 shim. Ok just ordered .005 and .010 shims, will be here Tuesday. Thay will have to come by dog sled. Were supposed to get between 12 to 18 inches even up to 2 foot, depending on who talk to.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Skwerl58 replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Today I got the 414-8 ready to move the snow and sleet that is forecast for tonight and tomorrow. Have chains if needed and the rear tires are filled with rv antifreeze and have a mule drive weight bracket with twenty pounds. Hopefully all is ready. Be safe! - Yesterday

Interesting mental image. Not sure it's one I really needed. Brings new meaning the phrase "Freezing your B@ll$ off".
