    Struggling during the last snow storm.

    Here's my snow removal beast! :ROFLMAO: Complete with homemade pusher blade and removeable heated cab just for winter duties. My snow blower is now about 30 years old and on its 2nd tractor. That's one big advantage to the 3 pt blower in that they're not tractor specific for the most part...

    Soooo Booored !!

    I've also watched his channel since he started the rebuilding of his "Tally Ho" sailboat. What a project he has, along with the skills to do the work. Wishing he was closer, as that would be a great working vacation to take part in!! Love those old wooden boats, whether powered by sail...

    Air Inlet Pipe Deformation?

    Household Appliance Maintenance: Share Your Successes and Failures

    Here's a few of my oddball small tool kits that have foiled many a manufacturer's attempts to keep you from a repair/replace fix it job yourself. These are used for those odd little fasteners that you find when you're just about at the last piece to remove before getting at the part that needs...

    Air filter clogged with snow

    Welcome to OTT, Coveylane! I still make these covers for our B2650s and others. If you'd be interested in a set of covers for your B2650, I'd be happy to get a set to you. The only downside is the extra postage that Canada charges. If you have any questions or concerns....just ask.

    Tractor "school"

    Back in my younger days....I think it was 7th or 8th grade approximately....all of us kids that wanted to work for or on a farm went through a lenghty tractor training course geared towards that type of work. I haven't heard of any such similar courses at present....but haven't a reason to...

    Pros and cons of snow removal options

    I disagree that using a rear mounted snowblower with a mirror is anything like backing up a trailer. Backing up with a trailer: if you want the trailer to veer to the left, you have to turn your steering wheel to the right (clockwise). If you want the trailer to veer to the right....you turn...

    Pros and cons of snow removal options

    It's been close to 30 years now with the same 3 pt. blower and have never experienced a sore neck. The blower is now on its second tractor, the B2650! This same, wide horizontal mirror (see picture) mounted up and in front of the driver all but eliminates any need to look over your shoulder...

    Another Heavy Safe Move......Maybe

    The "move" went so quick and easy that there was no time for pics! :) It was done in less than a few minutes. It pulled so easily across the snow covered gravel that it might have been moved with a rope around the waist and a couple of ski poles. Well, maybe 20 yrs ago.... Here it now sits...

    Pros and cons of snow removal options

    I've always kept a pair of these Wells Lamont insulated PVC coated gloves handy when moving snow. When you have to clear a clogged chute or just clean the snow off of the blower and blades when putting the rig away, etc. ...... these will keep your hands warm and dry. Plus the snow doesn't...
