I got the 417-A with two stage blower out for the first time this year. Last year I serviced it and never used it, but it looks like tomorrow it will be put to work. The C-175 was blocking the 417 in and when I moved it I noticed it wasn’t charging so I brought it in the shop to have a look. The 418-C is ready to go, I’ll probably use that first until it gets deep and then use the blower. Not pictured is the C-160 automatic with 56” plow as a back up, the C-141 8-Speed with loader to pile snow. C-141 8-Speed with C48 Sweepster rotary broom for clean up and the GT-1848 with 50” grader blade in case I need to scrape some ice. So I think I have this snow removal thing covered! Now if I could just have an attachment that does the front steps instead of me shoveling!! Be safe out there everyone 👍🏻

Wheel Horse 36” Snow Blower in Excellent Condition!
Joker72 commented on Tim's Toy Tractor's classified in Wheel Horse for Sale
Can you assist with shipping? Thanks! -
Shoot some video if possible. Let's do a "going for distance contest" and I'll get the wife to take some vids of mine too. Sometimes this deep light stuff looks like a huge pyroclastic flow of doom coming outta that thing! LOL

Same here for my hands and feet. Mine were nearly frozen when I was a 12yo. I never lost any parts but they were white. I remember mother put my hands and feet in a wash tub of cold water and added warm water very slowly till the color came back. These glove/mittons with a zippered pocket for chemical hand warmers is the only thing that works to keep my hands warm and still be able to fully use my hands. The rubber boots with 1/4" thick felt liners work for my feet.

Me too. Meeee toooooo!!!! Might occasionally win an argument with her, but you'll sleep with one eye open for a day or three.. But my wife will back me up no matter what! TOUGH woman!
-
@wallfish you saved my bacon. TYSM! Excited to give this setup a go for the upcoming snowstorm, be it 12" or 20" -- time will tell. I'll also post some info on the GX670 upgrade, for those looking to make the switch. Tight fit, but it fits with some perseverance. More to come!

I just about choked on my glass of water!

Can't speak for that brand specifically, but I most definitely agree with using whatever comes with clear coat in a kit. Actually looks nicer than factory, and the types I've used have lasted several years.

This whole thread is one of many that I can't say much on because we (in NC) just don't get snow and winter weather like many of you do. That being said, if this incoming storm is anywhere close to what they are forecasting, we're gonna get slammed in a bad way. No snow, but sleet and up to an inch of freezing rain followed by several days of single digit cold. Whatever we get is gonna hang around. My wife started early with the prep work. We got plenty of food, and a couple heaters with enough fuel for several days. I have about 55+ hours of fuel for my generator (all my gas cans) just for the evenings. We will hopefully be fine for several days if needs be. It's been over 20 years since we had a bad ice storm. Some folks were without power for weeks back then. Typically our long power outages come in summer after bad thunderstorms. At least then folks don't freeze to death... Looks like areas west of us may actually get more freezing rain than we will. I would ask all of us to remember those folks in your prayers. This is not something we southerners are used to dealing with and it could get very bad. Forgive the hijack. Just seemed like a good place to put this.

I've wondered this also.The ones I seen that are about the right size for the engines we use say they go up to 450 degress and just wonder about them getting to hot. I would hate to vaporize my oil out . Web sayz motor oil will start to boil around 450 but starts to vaporize/evaporate around 300 IDK?

The regular host of the morning show I like is off this week, and the head meteorologist of the affiliated TV station has been filling it. This morning they were talking about how there were a bunch of line service trucks staging at the gas station across from the radio station, getting ready to head south to help with expected storm damage.
-
Look, we've all been drunk and desperate at 2 at the bar and let the beer googles get the best of us once or twice and ended up plowing a whale, but this gives it a whole new meaning.
-
I suppose we are: I couldn't get our generator to run, nor the neighbor's walk-behind blower. Both run bottle fed, but have not been run in a few years, so I suspect that clogged main jets is the culprit for both. Gonna try to deal with that before the storm hits, but it's supposed to be down to 7 tomorrow morning. I'm also really hoping neither is needed in this storm.
-
I can't tolerate the heat either. Much easier to get warm than cool down. I can always layer up in the cold. In the heat, I can only take off so much before the neighbors stop talking to me, or call the police.😄
-
I'll leave these on the oil tank for about a day and a half with this storm. Lots of oil to heat and it has to migrate.
-
Our bodies certainly change as we add clock time but mine is the opposite. I can NOT tolerate the heat. In the cold I can always wear more clothes. Have a vest. Works good. Tried socks. Meh..... We use the temp hand and foot warmers. Just bought a case of the feets ones.
-
How long you leave them on a cast iron engine block?
-
I have that part. Picked it up at the big show a while back with some other rod type stuff. I don't live in the NYC/lower CT region. So let me know if you can make a road trip up to central MA. Looks to be about 1:45 ish time distance.

Plowing with a Whale
SylvanLakeWH replied to T-Mo-(Moderator)'s topic in non tractor related discussion
Trail cam at @Pullstart plow day secret prototype testing field... that's Kevin driving wearing a disguise... @Achto and @WHX?? are just off camera feeding the whale er... tractor, a steady stream of fried cheese curds... that was a confidential video!!! Top secret! Who leaked it??? -
It don't matter which you choose but if your like me as soon as you get them painted you will see a different flavor and just know it is a better .

And so is Duplicolor Ford Argent Silver Wheel Paint. Up to personal preference to clearcoat it or not...
-
Boy did you open a can of worms Don. It has been said that Eastwood rally wheel argent silver is close to WH factory color. I have NOT used it yet. I have used the following Rustoleum High Performance Wheel Custom Shop # 248927 . Rustoleum Silver metallic #7271 and Rustoleum #7715 Bright Coat Metallic Finish. For a close match I liked the # 248927 . I have used others like 30 + years ago but not sure of the color # 's. Good luck @Sodaking27

Bought Mrs Sylvan rechargeable battery heated gloves, socks and vest last year for Christmas... game changer. We walk every night. She was always cold... now she's toasty... even in this sub-zero weather... Dewalt and Milwaukee make heated vests / coats that use their respective batteries, so that's another option... Just a thought...

I think a lot of has to do with getting older. I remember in my younger days the cold didn't bother me, but now I just can't take it very long at time.
