NUTZ

I was out plowing snow with a Case 444 yesterday and just about 3/4 of the way through, A BIG BANG and she was all done. OOPs, I think she through a rod. I can reach in and spin the fan very easily. I went out and got the Power King with a plow and luckily the old girl started so I could finish the driveway. A friend of mine showed up and we pushed the Case into the shop. Had to go to the doctor so didn't get a chance to look it over. Later today when I get back from a stress test at Basset Hosp I may get a chance to look it over. OR maybe I'll work on the Case 444 that I'm putting a snowblower on. Still gotta put some weights and chains on it. I prefer to use the Case tractors for snow removal because of all the forward and back when plowing. The PK is gear drive. I have a Kohler from an old Ford GT but I think it's a 12 Hsp. Supposed to be 8 inches of snow coming tomorrow. If all else fails I can call my grandson and give him a good laugh.

This morning I went out and plowed snow with the Power King then I worked on getting the other Case 444 with a $400 rebuild on the engine, ready to blow snow. After lunch at 2pm I went out with the Case and blew snow for about an hour. I used it on the tractor that blew up and it worked great. It is working great again this year. I cleaned the driveway and also made a path so I could get the truck out of the backside of the garage. Then I started on the one that threw a rod. Didn't get very far but I took off the fuel pump and looked through the hole and the rod is no longer connected to the crank. We got a total of about 7 inches of snow today.
