We havn't got that much snow in Otsego County N.Y. yet and I have the same all weather structure to store my tractor's. The 2nd pic is the same tractor on our farm in Delaware County N.Y. around 1982 when it was all 1555 diesel. I sold it in 1994 and in 2011 found it in the weeds and bought it from its 3rd owner. It has a 1650 gas engine now and some original parts were lost in the 2nd owners shed fire and can never be original again.

We are about 45min. East of Buffalo, so we get the lake effect and the lake temperature is warmer than normal!! So that equals snow.
As for the "all weather parking" no matter how big you build a building its never big enough! When I mention to the wife about adding on a lean-to I get the look, and am told I have to much stuff.
At least you got your tractor back even if its not original anymore.
 
The 1650 engine I bought in Gennesseo in 2012. It was about a 4 hour one way road trip but glad I went. The add was on Craigslist and he wanted it out of his shop. He liked the Oliver for cultivating beets and had bought a replacement tractor but had the gas engine. Pulled the gas and installed a diesel. My tractor is on a YouTube video under 2012 Oliver 1650 tractor pull and I got first place! The last time I pulled tractor was 1994 with the same tractor with a video Delaware County fair Oliver 1650 tractor pull.
 
That's cool Ill check it out on you tube. 4 out of the 5 Oliver's we have were all local tractors with in At least 50miles of us. Our first 1800 we bought in Illinois and brought it home. That tractor is in the shop completely torn down for a full restoration. My father in law and his brother have a 1800 that is still used. It was a gas tractor and that motor spun a bearing. They replaced it with a diesel out of another 1800 that had a bad rear end. That was done before I was around. We hope to get that tractor someday to restore and keep in the family.
 
That's a good idea. Ill send them to someone who puts to together a calender, if anyone does that and has contact info shoot me a Email. I thought it would make a good Christmas card.
 
I'm sorry I was wrong 3 of 5 were local besides the 1800 from Illinois, our 1600 was in Ohio we went and brought that one home also.
 
A couple old snow pictures . My Dad on Super 55 here in Maryland , and my Father in-law on what I think is a 660 in Ohio.

We still have the super 55, Maybe this winters project.

So up until this year I had an all weather storage building as well. Not anymore. Broke down and built something. Probably not enough space either. We are 2 hours east of Buffalo NY.

1850t, How's your Grandpa Ernie. We drove by his farm taking the scenic way home a couple months ago hoping to spot the 1655 out in the field.
 
Nice. Nope never big enough, they look happy inside! I built my building 2 years ago. 48x54 I thought was enough but 3 campers 3 classic cars(not all mine), skid steer, lawn mowers, forklift, a few restored tractors, lots of parts/misc items. Has it filled...
 
Hes still trying to go strong- although I think age catches up with all of us at some point. Im surprised you didnt see one, there are Whites and Olivers and MMs all over the place there. The "twin stack" 1655 is living the easy life now, pulling wagons.
 
1850t, Glad to hear Ernie's still going strong! If you see him tell him Greg with the White American was asking. He always liked my tractor.
