My sons home so Ill take him Wakeboarding this afternoon Plenty warm in the cab. I was in Texas in 1980, the great Texas heat wave, 100 degrees for weeks. I don't like heat. Was drilling for oil, 2nd shift, plus extra 3rd or 1st shift when someone didn't show up. At night on the deck was a four foot fan (propeller) to blow away the flies so we could breath.

Sarge 3,464 #55 Posted January 5, 2018 I watched the clowns on the Weather Channel off and on all day yesterday and the progress of the storm - be careful with the temps that are coming . I knew there would be some pictures this morning of the aftermath - thanks for that, the highlight of my day so far . Sarge 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WVHillbilly520H 10,374 #60 Posted January 23, 2018 Dude, you have the herd I'm envious of, I need to find me a NOS looking low hour 520 to complete my trifecta, plus I've only plowed once this winter a whopping 1.5" off the blacktop last week just so it would melt, Jeff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 39,084 #61 Posted January 24, 2018 Some guys get all the seat time...and that 520 does look happy. Maybe we should all take a road trip to Woodville Jeff. Looks like that may be our best chance to get some plow time. BTW, I see you have your blade at max vertical. Do you find that to be the best position? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 39,084 #63 Posted January 24, 2018 I'm assuming the white cover on the engine is a heat collector for the cab. Can you show some details? I have one on my 520, but only on the rear cylinder. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 39,084 #65 Posted January 24, 2018 Thanks for the pics. I bet your cab really stays warm. Mine only collects the rear cylinder heat and it stays 30 F above the outside temp. I did vent the belt guard though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 39,084 #67 Posted February 1, 2018 We got 1.4" on Tue with a strong North wind that stacked up drifts to 1.5'. I got about 2 hours on the 312 cleaning up 4 driveways and mailboxes. The PennDot plows have the snow packed in front of the mailboxes. I am always amazed at what this tractor will push. Those rubber chains and the foot control are the bomb. 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
