    Pics of front tire chains

    I am with you on that John. We have an old drive way so no big deal. The wife wants to see black no white because of her new knees.
  3. Today

    Im ready for these! Where did you get T-Top Z28 from?
  5. My garage is 24x24. Walls are OSB then insulated w/Rockwool (expensive but worth it) Ceiling is foam insulation board with 2' of blown on top of that. Insulated overhead door too. I have 2 1500w electric heaters. I keep 1 set @40° all the time & it will maintain the temp. The 1 heater will get garage warm until about when it drops into the teens outside. Thats when I need both. Even with as cold as its been for weeks here it takes about 1-2hrs for both heaters to get garage in the mid 60s to almost 70°. I dont worry much about cost to operate them. We have a small, efficient house & just 2 of us living here so none of my utilities are expensive. I been looking into installing a mini split heat pump unit then I'd have a/c as well.

    D Series Part-Outs

    I've got 2 D's I need to part out. Mostly complete tractors. 3pt is $350 shipped. The rest is TBD. I can get pictures upon request. I need enough interest to make it worth parting them out. Thanks for looking
  7. Seems like it. Just hasn't really quit snowing here since New Year's Day. Working all the little bugs outta it right quick. Turning out to be more reliable than I thought it would be.

    What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

    Fer sure, I cut right thru hard Penn Dot snow banks along Rt 30 with that thing taking small chunks at a time but it got the job done

    Pics of front tire chains

    The ABSOLUTE last thing I worry about is a few winter time scuff scratch marks on the driveway when I'm out there freezing the gonads off doing snow removal. Especially this year with the extreme low temps. ALL of those marks are gone by March anyway if you don't dig the chains in and no one would ever know the difference either way. I even run V bar chains on the rear tires too on asphalt. They don't spin on the ice so they don't dig in any long lasting marks either. The asphalt is hard when it's frozen. Pay attention to what's happening and there shouldn't be an issue. Don't drag turned fronts with roller chains on them and don't excessively spin the rears with any type of chains and the asphalt will be fine.
  10. Ya know, I didn't really think of it that way but you're 100% absolutely right! There's something to be said for a lot less aggravation! Bugs in the new paint really sucks bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  11. After removing the balance gears from my Bronco 14 a while back, the oil pan developed a pretty big leak. I didn't have a gasket at the time, so I had made one and it just didn't work. So today I pulled the engine and replaced the gasket. Gonna do some touch up on the engine before reinstalling. My Bronco looks sad with so many parts missing...

    What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

    Today I took out my 417-A after replacing the transmission idler pulley. The old one was making noise so I got a new one from Brian at K+B Wheel Horse Parts. Put in a new correct belt and it worked perfectly. They called for 1”-2” of snow today, we got at least 5”! I was going to plow with my 418-C but it doesn’t have a cab and the temperature was in the teens with wind blowing 20-30mph, so in the cab I went! Sorry no pics this time!

    Since I'm too old to lift engines...

    Well I used my setup for it's intended purpose today, and it worked like a champ. K321 now has a new oil pan gasket and I lifted nothing. This thing is awesome!

    to Red Square! It’s a vortex you’ll never be able to pull yourself out of!
  15. True, but NO BUGS landing in your fresh paint is totally worth it to me.
  16. That's the sacrifice of winter time painting! Not to mention the heat bill for the shop. I don't paint much but I still have red tinted everything! LOL

    @c-series don, perhaps you meant a few pictures? A picture is worth a thousand tractors. Or something like that… 🤣🤣
  18. Just wait until you see the fresh coat of red over spray that I get all over every thing tomorrow.

    @WHX?? Don’t worry Jim, your planter is hanging in my garage right next to the heater. Nice and warm and dry!

    @JCM I think what I meant to say was I got a FEW MORE since I took this picture 8 years ago. I think maybe 4-5 more?
  22. See a few of them at the BS and they are quite proud of them. Not to mention the paint brush jobs. Now you know why I took up work clothes & patinas. Oh well to each his own.

    Holy molly you got your hands full. Why isn't Trina spin kicking and back fisting the $#!t out a you to spend that money on another C-160 instead of those things?
  24. Plus some other stuff in your garage with the over spay dust too! Nice Job!! All you do on your stuff is a real restore compared to just a simple spray bomb job on some of the sheet metal with new decals then call it "restored".
