P'chop 49 #1 Posted January 19, 2013 Dad let me plow again last night. It was very fun. My "horse"was plowing a hole lot better than I expectided. I got to plow half of our stuff and all of the neighbor's and made some $. It's supposed to snow for the next few days so I should be able to plow again soon. Here's me at work 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankman 3,518 #4 Posted January 19, 2013 Grandson is prayin' for a pile of snow, he sits on the '85 416-8 ready to go for any snow! At 65 I look but don't touch. Why not let the kids move the snow? And grab a few bucks from the doubting neighbors while they're at it? Pork Chop is learning the biz early! Good for him (and his lazy Dad!). Pay up Daddy-O!

roscoemi 245 #7 Posted January 19, 2013 Tankman, Daddy has paid plenty! A 9yr old with a 4 wheeler, a tractor and a gun. He's spoiled, but a good spoiled. I have to crank mine up before he gets home or I get no seat time! He insists on doing it all and if I crank the Ranger there is hell to pay! He inspects the yard every day for any evidence of horse play that he didn't get in on. lol When he's plowing, there is always a group watching, amazed that a little boy can run it and do the job. He's a worker with the memory of an elephant! :handgestures-thumbupright: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
varosd 1,185 #8 Posted January 19, 2013 bundled up against the cold and having fun!!! growing up we had a 2 stage walk behind so I never had the fun of plowing/blowing using the B-80. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's a worker with the memory of an elephant! Now, that is a smart young man! Years ago a neighbor pulled me aside, "I don't want to sound nosey but, when you're not home your boys are racing your 's up 'n down the road." I never mentioned that chat to my "boys." Couldn't keep the wife (or "boys") off the Old Horses, one had a 36" RD mower pulling a sweeper. Yard was always groomed when I got home. Snow was always plowed, when I got home. "Boys" smilin' too! Too bad no one adopted the gas cans? Grandson prays for snow nowadays (all winter!) and wants his ATV fixed and he "wants" it NOW. Wow! Demanding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clemedc 29 #10 Posted January 19, 2013 Looks like your doing a good job Pchop. It reminds me of when I lived in Alaska and they held the FUR RONDY in Feb and there is a carnival with carnival rides and the children were all smiling riding the rides IN FEB IN ALASKA I couldnt help but wonder if the smiles were frozen to there faces :happy-jumpeveryone: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fun Engineer 859 #11 Posted January 19, 2013 Looking good Porkchop. Keep up the good work and don't forget to have your dad show you how to grease the front wheels and axle, steering and check and change the oil when its time. Regular preventative maintenance is very important if you want seat time. Your doing a great job with him Russ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roscoemi 245 #12 Posted January 20, 2013 Thanks Dave. The front wheels are wobbly, do they have bearings or bushings? I haven't had time to check and it doesn't get enough ground time right now to worry about making it worse. Come summer tho, those puppies need some attention. :eusa-whistle: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,968 #13 Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Good work PorkChop! I know Dad is proud of you. My grandson is hoping it will snow enough here this Winter so he can plow some too. Keep up the good work Son :thumbs: Edited January 20, 2013 by Wheel-N-It Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P'chop 49 #14 Posted January 21, 2013 Hey! I got to plow again. It was so fun. I got to plow with the back of my blade. I was building up the snow bank so I could make a ramp so I could dump the snow right over. My neighber wanted me to plow but he wouldn't pay so I said,"pay or you can shovel." He didn't pay so I didn't plow his yard. Dad let me plow on my own cause he had to do the other side of the house with his tractor because mine would tear up the lawn. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,968 #15 Posted January 21, 2013 PorkChop, do you have any videos posted showing you plowing? My grandson and I would like to see them if you do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbartlett1958 96 #16 Posted January 21, 2013 Porkchop, Thanks for allowing some of us to plow vicariously through your efforts. Keep up the good work! David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fun Engineer 859 #17 Posted January 21, 2013 I don't know Russ. I would think that they would have a bearing. I've never had the front wheel assembly apart. Maybe LaneRanger can tell you. Looks like Pork Chops getting some good seat time. I was out on Friday with my blower and Sunday with my Polaris and plow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roscoemi 245 #18 Posted January 22, 2013 Van, I'll try a vid with my phone as that is where the pics are coming from. I'll just have to figure out how to get it to my computer without using a hammer! I can email pics, but videos are too big and the software is a pia. It's supposed to snow thru Thursday so there will be a chance to get one or two. I would not let him out today as it was 20 below with the wind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roscoemi 245 #21 Posted January 22, 2013 No vid today. It was -7 at 5:30 this morning and up to 0 at 5pm when I rolled in from work. I cranked the C-121 and blew out the yard in 10 min, a record for me. P'Chop was teary eyed when I came in 'cause he didn't get in on the action. I explained it was just too cold out in the wind and he would have his turn yet this week. Supposed to warm up to almost 20 and snow thru Sat, and he will not be denied!

Fun Engineer 859 #23 Posted January 23, 2013 Russ Sorry I forgot. Send me your address in a PM and I'll mail the copy to you. I tried to send it in an email but it was too large. I'll get it to you asap. Send me Pork Chops real name and I'll address it to him. Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,968 #24 Posted January 23, 2013 I do understand. -7 is too cold for little PorkChops to be out on WheelHorse, thats for sure! He will get his turn Saturday. Hang in there PorkChop. Saturday will be soon!!! :happy-jumpeveryone: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
