Here's a few pics from the past few days.  

This one's kinda more like a topshot.

Had to drag a few out today for some much needed run time. They’re dusty, but will all get a bath come spring!

Had the 312-8 out today first time since the M & G to help the 420 hauling some firewood for the 2 woodstoves in the house. I know @kpinnc likes to see the LSE earning it's keep. Only problem is two tractors and only one driver.

Tractor shuffle. Drive one say, 30 feet. 

Go get the other. Drive it 60 feet. 

 

Repeat. 

Repeat. 

Repeat.

Good progress.

Oh no I just had to start that one… 

 

LSEs are gorgeous machines. I should clarify what I meant. These tractors were several thousand dollar purchases in their day. Wheel Horse was quite proud of them. I’m just too poor to imagine buying one. 
 

Now any new tractor would have been hard to get dirty or scratch, but the LSE was literally a serialized collector’s item. Just hard to imagine justifying the expense in my tiny mind.

I dunno.

Tractors side by side. Duct tape a board to the two motion control levers. Left foot on left tractor’s right footrest, right foot on right tractor’s left foot rest. One hand on each steering wheel. Nudge the motion control with your knees...

Interesting thought. Wondering how I could do that with the 312 being an 8 speed ???

Thanks @BBQVultureWings for bringing those pictures back. The only one gone is the C-165 that I just sold this Fall.  

[ebinmaine 68,393]

I have a buyer for that C-120. Not sure if this fall or Springtime , depending on storage for him ?  Along with one 17 CF dump cart.

8-speed on the right so you can get to the clutch with your right foot, obviously!

Older picture before the upper dash and lower shift plate refurbish. Enjoying the 420 worker.

856 on the 65 Snowco 946

[JCM 9,407]

Removed the SD deck last weekend. May try to get the weights, chains & 48'' dozer blade on the 418 this Winter.

[JCM 9,407]

Last weekend hauling in more firewood. No weights and chains yet, just some good tongue weight needed.

[Andy N. 2,183]

Installed some cast iron wheel weights on the rear wheels. Found them on FB Marketplace about 30 minutes west of me.
