Came across a Mr. Funnel at TSC for $20 - hadn't noticed them there before.
Know many here use them.
Worked good topping it off this morning!

Congratulations! Let us know how that mid mount snow blower works.
I need a set of Polar blades for that lol
Greased up all pivots etc.
Installed the hose new protector I got from Ken's Bolt-on Hooks.
This is a great addition as I run long hoses from the rear remote to the front mount implements and there are some chafe and rub spots on route that now won't be a problem.
Plus it is a velcro wrap style that you can install on the hoses in place.

Got something like that in the barn but might be a bit hard to mount on the tractor
A piece of pvc pipe and 2 hose clamps. Attach pipe to rops with hose clamps. Slide pole saw into pvc pipe.

You bet, bear. Hadn't noticed them at TSC until yesterday.
I always thought "removes water?!?" - - that's BS...
The "stem" of the filter element is about 1" higher than the cup-shaped bottom - so the water would settle down there and not go in.
It sits in the fill-opening very well. I'm careful, but sometimes "stuff" blows/falls around when filling, etc. This should help.
Yes, after you posted I went on the web and checked them out. Could save a lot of problems over time.You bet, bear. Hadn't noticed them at TSC until yesterday.

Well either a wise or stupid decision today, decided it was time to take the blower off and put the fel back on and man it was a good feeling to have it back on. Only problem, the mud season is not far off.
4 more inches of wind blown snow to plow. Got mine and my folks and will get to my neighbors later.

I let my neighbor operate my tractor to dig a hole for his tree today. He's a professional excavator operator, really fast and operating equipment is like second nature to him. But on the tractor he was all thumbs since he's used to the CAT control lever arrangement. A little comical to see him try to compensate by crossing his arms! He's a nice guy and he helps me a lot too. Most of you would drool over having dirt like we have to dig here in the desert!

Our property is on the foothill slope below nearby mountains. A few times a year we get flash flooding in a couple of washes. The last one damaged a driveway and eroded the wash pretty badly. So this was my first tractor experience in repairing the driveway and flattening out the wash. I'm pretty proud of it, having never done this before!

I sure do. We run into a few 6" rocks once in a while! Another plus is that, if undisturbed, the surface is like decomposed granite from the mountains above and doesn't normally get muddy.Bruce, it looks nice. Looks like you have a big sand box to play in!
The water-filtering-funnel reminded me of my job back in the '70s flying hunters/fishermen down into Lake Guerrero Mexico near Ciudad Victoria. I was flying for an early Delta-Connection and we hauled sportsman safaris down there usually consisting of planeloads of doctors/lawyers/professionals, etc. and sometimes the flight crews would stay a week or so in town then fly them back out or elsewhere.
The first trip I did I was horrified (but later amused) by the re-fueling equipment at the airport. It consisted of a large steel tank on a trailer pulled by an old tractor. The fuel was pumped by an aircooled Wisconsin or Waukesha motor and there was NO METER on the thing... one Mexican would pull the hose over to the airplane and hand it over to a guy standing on the wing (they didn't have such sophistication as single-point refueling) and another guy would start the little engine and wave his hand that he was ready. The guys on the wing would stuff a felt-cowboy hat down into the wing-cap shaping it into a funnel and wave back at the engine-guy..who would then open a valve and, using his wrist-watch, time the delivery process in some fashion that he felt would approximate the amount of fuel we'd ordered. He'd close the valve when he thought it was right.
The first time I watched this I was a bit concerned...but the aircraft gauges were dependable and when we ordered 4,800 lbs or whatever... they were exactly on-the-mark. When I looked at that felt hat as they pulled the hose back to the trailer, it held about a cup of water and some flakes of some kind of sediment.... rust likely.
But the fuel never gave us any problem and those turbines ran just fine. It took me a couple of trips to have any faith in those guys but after a couple years when I up-graded to Captain... I took perverse pleasure in pretending to my new co-pilots that I was completely disinterested in the process ...which caused them no small amount of alarm. LOL
