What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

[Gregor 4,845]

Put my new hood on the 656. I gave it a quick spray of primer red to sort of match the rest of the tractor. I am getting use to this color. Might just keep it that way. So with the new hood, the snow plow lifting mechanism had to be re-located and re-vamped.  I thought under the seat was a good spot. It's out of the weather, but I'm gonna have to find a new place for my beer. To be honest, at -22 wind chill, I'm not really drinking a lot of beer out there.

Installed my Jim Kemp stack! Sounds and looks great.

Where can I get me 1 (or 3) of those? I've looked, can't find them.

Just send @jimkemp a message and he’ll fix you right up. They are very heavy duty and high-quality, especially for the price.

Tractors lined up with the blades and the chain ready to go out the door. We got basically sleet ice last night and the driveway is covered put salt on it last night put salt on it again this morning. Waiting for the next big round to head out of Texas. Most good comes out a Texas except for the storms they keep throwing at us !! @ZXT Thanx Jonah for helpin usins with our seat time!

4 to 5 more of the fluffy white stuff. I haven't had a good snow here in six years

here at the Crib!

[rjg854 11,349]

Made sure the C160 plow tractor and the 16 Auto with the blower are both fueled up, oil and hydro levels are good. Calling for 8 to 12 inches of snow over night. And this is only the first part of the storm, more coming Friday. Sounds as though I'll be getting some seat time this week.

You can have all of it! We got about 4 inches in total and it was 1F when i got up this morning. Warmed up to about 12, but we're having rolling blackouts.. Lots of people didn't prepare for it at all and are feeling it now. 

 

Here's some snowy Horse pictures for y'all! I had put bags over the seats before the snow started, but they're all gone! Animals must've stolen them for a nest.

Where did all the snow in the yard go? I still got 6" where the piles a'int!

[rjg854 11,349]

Oh I've still got plenty of snow piled up around here, that's an picture from before that 15 inches we got a couple of weeks ago.

I'm hoping I've got enough room for what's coming.

For a minute I thought you were making up for the lack of seat time earlier in the season and cleaned your entire yard. 

[Ed Kennell 38,021]

Still stacked pretty high here, but it looks like this storm will pass to the North of me.

[Greentored 3,201]

I recently learned about different rear wheel offsets and now realize why the rear track width on Hoss was so wide. Quick (probably permanent ha) fix- flipped the hubs. Gonna need to switch to the smaller 5/8” lugs to clear one set screw, but otherwise think it’ll be fine. Track width is much better, Hoss looks better, and oughtta sit in the furrow and line the plow up better too. 
Anyone else tried this? 

[Greentored 3,201]

PS- you guys with the snow are making me jealous and homesick! Nothing but cold and rain here in nc- like, non stop!! 

[Mike in NC 341]

Greentored, I know the feeling. It has rained here off and on for the last week. It stays just above freezing. I have talked to my family that lives in PA and they are getting snow, wish it was here instead.  Where are you from?

[Blackhood Bill 721]

 Im sure anyone would be more than happy to let you come on up and play in it if you want! just drive safely.

I heard a rumour that car shaped rig may be mildly powerful.

Changed some gear oil and made these plow feet for the upcoming storm. Going to give it a try but my driveway is asphalt and I have them set to hold it off the ground by less than 1/16?  Am I doing it right lol?   Never quite understood these things.

Put a plastic wear bar on that dude and drop the blade all the way down on the asphalt so it cleans off the snow completely.  You can set the feet so that they will stop your blade from going too low and damaging your driveway when the plastic wear bar eventually wears away.

Yes certainly makes more sense than these feet....  plastic will happen for sure.

You know, I didn't think of that! That picture was around 5pm yesterday. We got more overnight to get to the 4". 

 

If I wasn't trying to conserve gas for the generator that i've been running for a couple hours to keep the house warm and well from freezing, I'd try it!

I’m in Grifton, south of Greenville. Yes I’m still hoping to do a meet and greet one day. Working on it little by little.
