ebinmaine 67,408 #2452 Posted October 7, 2023 Sort of almost at Side Shot Front End Friday combo status but it's a twoferr. My 75 C160 Automatic and Trina's Military Tribute Tractor, Millie. I'm moving a snowblower for a friend. She's got her momma over and working on firewood. 5 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 8,687 #2453 Posted October 7, 2023 @ebinmaine I don’t know Eric, I’m kinda surprised that living in snow country you don’t already have one of those! I’m thinking a dedicated snow tractor, cab, lights etc. Like that nice 520 that @JCM had !! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m thinking a dedicated snow tractor, cab, lights etc. Like that nice 520 that @JCM had !! We have a commercial walk behind snowblower. It's much more useful to us because of the small hilly tilted pathways around the 3 buildings. I know it sounds odd to lots of you folks but I have no interest in a cab. I'm ... not small. Cabs are confining, tough to access, and restrict my visibility too much. Definitely AGREE on the dedicated snow tractor. That's the sole reason I bought and restored the 75 C160 Auto at all. I put a bunch of nice bright LEDs on front, side and rear. It carries the 60"+ wide monster plow built by @wallfish THAT beast moves some snow!! I've even gotten ahold of some side wings to make a scoop like a parking lot machine uses! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,607 #2463 Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Rears are 22.5 x 8-12. I have to be able to get them around those big weights though. Edited October 9, 2023 by D_Mac 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the chains we have here are for either 23 x 8 or 23 x 10.50 tires. The 22.5 tire will certainly take a chain made for a 23 but it'll set the inner chain ring a hair lower into the wheel. You may be able to install 23 x 8 chains by getting the outside ring setting against the weight then tighten up the inside ring some extra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a set of 6 x 12 tires I thought of using with the weights. Wasn't sure if it would be worth the hassle of switching over and wind up with the same issue. I mainly use a snowblower for my driveway because I have high curbing running the length of the driveway making it impossible pushing the snow to the side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 9,130 #2475 Posted October 16, 2023 Excellent picture @PeacemakerJack . Reminds me of when I was that age with that haircut. I think my Mother used brylcream to make it stand up in the front. Only difference is your son is a lucky boy being around a bunch of WH tractors in the family. I hope those memories stay with that young man the rest of his life. And I'm sure they will with a Dad like you. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
