Kinda like me with mule drives. A couple of months ago I looked in one of my cabinets and thought how the heck did I end up with this many mule drives?

Four snowblowers plus the one I actually use.   2 or three unmounted plows.  Don't ask about unmounted decks...

In case anyone hasn't heard, there is a show in a couple of months!

Maybe @Ed Kennell has a bucket you can borrow!

Those axle brackets usually come on a new to us so I guess we know how many tractors been through Sparky's barn....

I've been spending March and April sorting out tools in all of my tool boxes.  Taking pictures of what is in each box, so I can pull up pictures to find what I need.  Way to many pictures to post, but I could show you all of my screw drivers and wrenches.  Just know that my Grandfather was a truck mechanic in Chicago.  He left all of his tools to me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

@Shynon  notice the wrench from Owatonna, Minn at the bottom of this picture.

When my wife asked me how many tractors do I need? I said, how many did they make?

that was my max 5. seems like every machine I bought came with one. I am down to three only one useful. 

brackets might indicate some kind of strange issue. that is scary!

Mine leaves that alone now, I ask her about those 30+ coach purses that are under the bed! 

It didn't go well!

Mine came home with two kittens for our barn last summer because one of the old ones had passed. She didn't even ask me, she just brought them home. When she walked in with them in her arms, I just said, I have sixteen wheel horse tractors. Her response EXACTLY.

[squonk 41,150]

I have 3 blades. One on the 953 that floats and is the main plow. Another on the 857 with solid link to scrape. And just the blade part mounted on my Power King loader bucket to push piles. (didn't need it this year.)  I do have an extra short frame (just the frame) I'm going to get rid of and another complete long frame plow out back that I have to mount on Neighbor Ralph's C-160

   Now if you can remember where the pictures are you will be half way to getting the tool you need.

Steve I am with you on that. I have 11 toolboxes in the garage. always looking for that one tool cannot find. But good to have when you need it. I like those funky box wrenches. Spanners are my favorite.

[Retired Wrencher 5,464]

Mike, I hear you on that too much stuff, with four now things are a little tight. It was nice to see you and Tony the other night dropping off the 74 B80. Looking forward to Zag`s next month.

  I bought this one in New York probably 15 years ago. The swap from the 16 Briggs to a Magnum 10 was already done which is what was appealing about it to me. Plus it came with a bunch of attachments. 

  It’s been a great tractor and has handled all my snow clearing since I brought it home.

I was wondering because I was thinking the Work Horse GT-1600 came with 16 hp Briggs twin only… and do you know if 1984 was the only year of GT-1600/ Briggs twin(16hp) ?

The LT-GT Series Work Horses were available from 82-84
