    So how often to grease the snow blower?

    lol! Doesn't look so hard to me :) I made up the angle iron rollers that bolt right into the shoe holes. After mounting, just lift up and swap out for the shoes. In the spring reverse process. Oh, yes getting into basement is so much easier when one side is walkout, with a garage door. :)

    So how often to grease the snow blower?

    I just mounted my 3pt blower yesterday and was getting ready now to go grease the zerks and wipe some down the chain. In the past I have always greased it at the beginning and end of the season. So the 1st thing that occurred to me was it's just been sitting in the basement for 9 months. . . ...

    Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

    Why don't you post your bloody dead animal photo in the hunting section? I used to hunt and have no to ax to grind with that but I didn't open this thread to see that.

    What's next?

    A few years ago when I was actively chasing DX stations on amateur radio (rare or unusual stations) I would go to my local Wells Fargo branch and 'order' $200 in $2 bills. I would send one with my 'qsl card' (a postcard size card with confirmation info of our contact) to cover the postage for...

    and at night I'd bet at 200' away someone is going to identify it as a full size machine. It is legal to fly your drone at night - with anti-collision lights. People saying these are 10' long, or more, have no perspective at night how far something is away and how large it is. I'm betting its...

    At What Point.

    Sore subject with me :( As @InTheWoods stated most people can't afford the risk - even on their cars. I was always under the impression if you had a good personal relationship with an insurance agent you would get good advise and 'reasonable' pricing - which was fine with me. When it came to...

    Question on holiday etiquette

    Several years ago we and 3 other couples would get together for 'pig outs' on every warm holiday. We definitely solved the 'how to eat pie' issue. A couple of the wives made ribs you could die for. While warming them up on the grill the guys would stand around and with 1 fork and pass the pies...

    Cold weather OPEN station snow plowing/blowing.

    I never cleared snow below 10 deg F. It's just not that important to me. Driving in reverse with a 3pt blower is challenging enough for someone with a cervical fusion. I use insulated bib overalls, sweatshirt and heavy hooded coat with a balaclava (orange). Although mittens keep my hands warmer...

    Give me a lever, and a fulcrum on which to place it..............

    nice job! Many years ago when cast iron oil boilers weighed 800-1100lbs we used to get them into a house on hand trucks. Used plywood much the same as you did (2 layers of 3/4") to protect the floor. Whenever we needed rollers we used 2x12" steel nipples. We stupidly would lay the boiler down on...

    Battery powered fuel transfer pump?

    As other previous posters, I used an Amazon 12 volt 'kit' and made my own refilling station of sorts. It was easier years ago when I burned #2. I just had our oilman fill it when he came. Now I use the forks to lift it into my son's pickup. The drum dolly it sits on makes it much easier to...
