RMCIII 838 #28 Posted March 23, 2014 Update again.....Since it was a little too cold outside to bag all the deprie that my wife had raked up..Cold is not a factor for me, wife said it was too cold for her..So, I decided to dive into de-winterizing the "XI", and make it even more spring ready...So, chains are off and hung up..BTW, no need for oiling them or sparying them down, they were brand new last year.....<LOL that is just a litte jab regarding the thread about preparing chains for storage...Those of you who were on it will understand... Continuing on, dropped the snow blower, then placed it on the dolly. Now it is ready for a good cleaning when I see a nice sunny day in the forecast. Did a once over on the xi, gave all the zerts some grease, and called it a day...I know, I have to post photos..Coming... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rydogg 186 #32 Posted March 31, 2014 Spring cleanup and herd reduction has started I am listing a lot of parts, tractors, advertising, manuals etc. I am using ebay and craigslist to sell if anyone sees something they are interested in give me an offer and I can end the auction if I have no bids. Tractors currently on ebay are a 551 and a 502. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RMCIII 838 #38 Posted April 3, 2014 So, another update... I took off the light housing to clean it out and remove the winter residue from inside.... Well, now it is still out, becaue of the 2 housing clips I still can not get back into place on the top side of the light housing..... Between the space that the hood does not provide, the frame housing that is rock solid, and the limited space to work with, I now have a major project to try and get back together ......What a pain this night turned out to be.... So, tomorrow, I hope to have it back together......Stay tuned for the update..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMCIII 838 #39 Posted April 5, 2014 Ok herd!! I just spent 2 hours cleaning trying to pressure wash the snow blower and tractor... the pressure washer seems to be less than eager, to enguge, in it's duties as a washer... This may need some coaxing on my part... I know it has the ability to produce 3k in poressure, but right now, it seems to be lacking..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
