Where I am its low 40s. It's coming down as snow, but not laying. There is one of those atmospheric river things heading south to the west of Ontario, but hitting a lot of New England down into PA.

 

Also, if @pfrederiis in Northeast the town, and not Northeast the region he's right on lake Erie, and they are getting lake effect with system. My aunt who lives in Erie had a few inches on the ground last night.

How is the front end control with that big blade angled?

 

 

Not too bad. I did throw a front wheel chain early on went on with out it.  it will push you when it get up above the blade and is like to day heavy wet stuff. After it pushed yo off course swing atound an push the stuff straight off.  I do have weights on the front and the blade is pretty heavy.  over all I really like it.. Yu do not reangel unless the blade is up and even then it more than finger top pressure...and yes I greased the heck out of the picot area

Ok.

 

I know we have a member who is from Northeast the town near Erie, I just can't remember who it is.

 

I was supposed to stop and look at an issue with him on one of my trips up there, but he figured it out before my trip.

Today, on Wheel Horse corner… I painted the battery hold down and installed it in the 308. I mentioned in a text to @ebinmaine “it’s getting too nice for a bungee cord.”  I’m about 2 hours from @ebinmaine and it’s high forties and fifties with rain off and on all day. When the white stuff comes, I've been practicing by pushing back my brother's horse manure pile with the 308.

That's the kind of snow we always get, take a snow ball and you can squeeze a quart of water out of it.

 This made me LOL - I painted a battery tray and looked at my tractor thinking - "It's not ready for a nice battery tray. The bungee cord will suffice for now".

Wanted score these seat pads while they were available. You never know when sources dry up.  Had to try them on for size before packaging them back up and storing them for future use.

Sourced on FB?

There's a tire recycler business about 12 miles from me. 

They pull and stack "possible good tires" as they unload the the trucks.

They also let you walk the outside of the huge 2-4 acre pile they are constantly working adding to and removing to grind.

I visit one or twice each winter.  to many crawly critters in those tires during the summer.

I bring a chopping hoe with me to reach a little further to pull tires off the pile.  It also keeps my hand out of unknown things inside tires.

I was looking for 2- 23 x8.5-12 turf tires. didn't find them, but found 2 NOS tires. and one very lightly used one that still had some nubbies left. 

Prices have gone up, now $8 ffor the 2 smaller one and $12 for the larger one.

I'm amazed that almost every visit I come home with at least one NOS tire.   

I guess businesses just change inventory and toss them (at the state mandated $5 recycling charge per tire)

 Look what followed Moo-Wah home tonight. I traded a Jetski I can't ride anymore for this Special Aniversary Edition with 2 mowing decks ( 1 side & 1 Rear discharge ) & a Snow Bade. I wonder which club this 1 puts Moo-Wah in ....... Any who lots & lots to do now....Then tomorrow is wheel horse day all day. ( I know I said that before but the contractor we hired showed up the day I was supposed to be working on Ol' Cyclops So Wheel Horse stuff got pushed back a few days.. . & Now I really need the blade as I have 46 ft of new driveway.... The guys were really great to work with as I had a few conduits I wanted to put under the slab for future use they even dug the trenches... It has been a busy week.  off to bed....

I don't do the books/ faces thing. 

 

I believe the maker has a username here but is rarely on. 

 

@Retired Wrencher. Gary might know how to contact.

Can anybody tell me anything about this tractor? The model and serial number is missing, I believe it's a suburban 400 and it has a Wisconsin engine on it, which I don't believe is original (correct me if I'm wrong) and I plan on doing a full restoration on it.
