    Tire Chains on BX

    I did not use spacers. When tight, all is good, so far. I've done the driveway several times now without issues.

    Something I do for fun

    You bet - my mistake. I'm a Chevy guy, after all. A friend of mine was the owner of MOPAR dealership. He knows I'm not a fan of MOPAR's, but he would never forgive me for that kind of error!!

    Something I do for fun

    GTX, as in the AMC GTX? There ARE 2 fans of them! A buddy, who passed away a few years ago, was big into AMC cars. He was restoring a GTX when he passed. He had several. Skeets - you make the 2nd friend into GTX's (if I got the right car). Another bud was at Hershey on October, and ALMOST...

    Something I do for fun

    Like Old Cars? We all have interests beyond orange tractors. One of mine is old cars. I'm from the Muscle Car era, after all.:D While I don't have an old car right now (Harley in the garage, and 2 kids at Cornell University), I've been a part of this non-profit corporation for many years. I...

    well its now project , well lost count but its my L225 refurb.

    Rob - Looks great!! Folks on this side of the pond often apply that kind of talent on say.....'67-69 Chevy Camaro. I prefer red over black w/black striping by the way...RS/SS a big plus. Seriously, looks great thus far. Look forward to your progress!

    BX Front mount Snowblower?

    I posted this on the "What have you done..." thread. No shear bolts gone yet! That's my backyard - the dog's gotta go, too.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I did this, for the umpteenth time. That's my backyard, so my dog has a place to go potty.:p Lights are workin' good. :D BX2750D has yet to blow a shear bolt. That's why I have spares, then you won't need 'em. :cool: Skeets - The first couple times I used them, thought the location of the...

    fuel additives yes or no ?

    Yeah - 056 was a little much. My pulp saw was broke, and that was the only option. For a lot of years I said the only wood I cut was lilac bushes, but the 046 would cut 'em REALLY fast! Amazing the difference between the 056, and the new generation 046 (now 460). Only Husky I ever ran was a...

    BX Front mount Snowblower?

    Mine is the same. I had hydraulic rotation on my JD - don't like this setup either, but its all we got, unless you spring $800 for hydraulics, or $400 for electric that sucks too. Some white spray grease around the base of the discharge chute will make it work easier. I'm still getting...

    Card board.

    I think Eric is talking about a 1-ton pickup. I used to see some kind of radiator screens on tractor-trailers often years ago.

    fuel additives yes or no ?

    Wish I could! I have the 2 Stihl trimmers, 046 chainsaw, and the little guy MS-211 that I just bought used last year. We live in a very rural area. I can't get non-ethanol gas 'round these parts reasonable. A station 45 minutes away did advertise 93 octane that was ethanol-free, but...

    Too Cold Here

    How cold did it get? Try a rubber mallet to see if its solid? I also remember calcium filled tires with frost on them, but it was very cold (well below 0?), and they were brought in the warm barn with 100 cows in it. They generate a lot of humidity. Same theory as the frosted glass...

    Card board.

    Eric - Ironic you ask - I saw the first piece of cardboard in many years just this week. As several other guys said, while I don't see an issue with your truck in COLD weather - watch the temp gauge - I don't know the "normal" winter temp in Virginia warrants restricting air through the...

    BX Front mount Snowblower?

    Did you use it yet????? Dying to hear if it met your expectations! I did driveway and probably half an acre of the lawn - only 4" or so. Some was necessary - rest was just playin'

    fuel additives yes or no ?

    I've used Power Service (white bottle) since I bought the tractor in April. After my run-ins with ethanol gasoline over the last couple years, I'm more apt to use an additive. My old (22 years) Stihl FS-86 trimmer was killed by ethanol. After tearing carb down, used Seafoam. Ran for a month...
