I'm holding out.....

[TAHOE]

I still have the mowing deck on the Sears, holding out installing the winch/snow blade. I think if I hold out long enough, we won't get enough snow to worry about it, at least that's my plan haha.
If it does snow heavy, we have 3- 4x4's, I'll just shovel the walks and let God remove the snow on the drive

I broke down and put the plow last Saturday. 4" on the drive and no sign of melting anytime soon. You could try to use the mower deck Just blow it out the side.

might have to give it a try

Looks like I gotta break down and put blade on, predicting 4-6" of snow on Friday night, maybe more.

If you set the deck on low, you can cut that down to 2 1/4"!

I am so ready for spring! Had one snow that I plowed and that was enough.

Well crap, I knew I would screw myself waiting.....winch will not work. I have taken motor apart twice, cleaned brushes. Separated from winch to make sure no binding, etc.
It's made so simple, but nothing, grrrr.

Then is it back to Armstrong lift?

Yea, it's called a shovel.

I just rebuilt my shovel. It's one of the one's that are curved aluminum w/ a wood handle. I replaced the worn out steel wear strip.

You actually wore out a shovel?!!
I still have one I got about 20 years ago....

 

[Lily'sDad]

Well, what can I say?

 

[TAHOE]

I ended up removing the side plates from my box blade and plowed the drive yesterday, we ended up getting 3-4 more inches, glad I was off work.
Then, I loaded tractor up and took it to church. Took one swap and smelled electrical. Hopped off and the plastic connector feeding my regulator was on fire, guess I got road water in it from travel and it shorted. Fire went out when I shut it down, hopefully it didn't damage stator or regulator.
It's always some thing.

I'm definintely done with winter now, out of salt and I broke the back blade.

I hear ya on being done with winter. I am so ready for spring! Tired of hurting fingers from the cold and always tending the stoves.
