Well.....the snowGod decided I needed a little bigger snow cake....SOOOooooo, after getting 6-7 inches of the 'Global Warming'....Here is the 'New' snowcake!!!! (SAME OLE TABLE THO!!)

Looks like plow day will be in the sched. for snow removal, in the upper drive, and frt. parking area!!!!
B.G. (the ford 3000), was having a little trouble with scooting around on the thick Ice, for the last plow day, and since His chains, have not gotten here yet......I built a platform on the rear blade to hold 7-8 sandbag weights, just to the rear of the Three point hitch. Gave him approx. 275 lbs. more for the rear tires. I already have 240??? Lbs with the 'FORDMOCO' cast iron wheel weights, on each rear side axle.
Sure did help with traction, and when the chains get here....B.G., should be set up just fine!!!.....(I HOPE)!!

Here is a couple of pix.....B.G., with the added weights!!!

LookiN' good, Gary! I thought those were bags of seed at first

We just got 3" of your leftovers, accompanied by 35 MPH winds, so I may [i:7609e75ca5]finally[/i:7609e75ca5] get an opportunity to move some snow tomorrow!

Yep, those bags are lined gunnysacks, they use them around here for grain seed!! Hold 40 lbs. each.
As for the weather....it's like you and I were talking about.....sparse then colder than usual.....then rain to ice everything up.
I don't remember how long it's been, since the weather has been so screwy!!

Hope all is good for you and yers.
Hello to the wife. Enjoyed your visit here, and glad you finally found out where that carb piece was supposed to be!!! :lol: :lol:

Gary :wink:
 
I guess if I thought it was gonna ice up, I'd wait on plowing so the ice isn't down on the hard surface... IDK..
 
Good idea for the weight. Is that a flexible exhaust attached to the left fender bracket?
 
(quoted from post at 06:35:31 01/18/20) Good idea for the weight. Is that a flexible exhaust attached to the left fender bracket?

Yep,....stainless flex exhaust pipe, comes off the top of the muffler pipe, and runs down the left side to the running board,...then back to the rear of the left fender edge.
I installed it to throw the diesel exhaust down and back toward the open shop door, to keep the diesel smoke/smell out of the shop, on 'warm-up's'.
It will be coming off, as soon as I get a little work/cash saved up, to get/buy the 'Under the axle exhaust', and manny.

Looks kinda ugly, but works like it should!!! :roll:

Keep it warmed up, we are just getting the tail end of anyther storm moving thru. 1/2" of rain since midnight.
 
Gary.... if you're going to convert to the horizontal exhaust i have a good manifold for ya. You pay the shipping and it's yours. Check out the pics

Here is my bird feeder. Filled it just before the 'snow event' Lucky for the birds ! This is the day after. Snow was over Bud's shoulders on day 1 - he took to tunneling.

You coulda kept it out there! We got ice last week and then about
8 inches of wet, heavy snow last night. And today it has been
raining all day. Kind of a misty rain, not enough to melt snow, but
enough to add to the wet and weight. For the first time in quite a
few years, I wish I had chains on the 3000. The snowblower really
made it bark with this heavy stuff, but it got the job done.

I just finished clearing that crap with my 9N and back blade. I had plenty of traction with my chains but the deep wet snow had ice underneath so the fronts wanted to just slide. I did a lot of steering with brakes.
 
Did someone say snow and 3000s?
We got 2-3" on Thursday and 4 - 5" last
night.
I will clean both batches tomorrow
morning.
Gary, how are you liking the diesel in
winter? Other than the stink ha ha.
I'm sure you have a block heater on
yours by now.
I say plug them in for an hour or two
and they Go.
I regret not putting the front plow on
this year. Back blade works ok but not
as handy to use.
Poor thing has had to sit outside for
much of the winter.
Snapped this pic just as the light was
fading.

U.D.;
You ask....:"Gary, how are you liking the diesel in
winter? Other than the stink ha ha."

Lots of power to spare......starts right up, when warmed up for about 20 min's before use....AND, actually does not smell bad, unless I forget to put the exhaust tube on the muffler pipe,.....shoves all the smell right out the big shop door.
I back the tractor out, then remove the expanded pipe.
Keeps all the smell outside, and not inside the shop.
Runs like a bandit.....just kinda loose, on the icy driveway.
Won't be that way when my chains get here!!! :lol:

So far......I'm really liking it!!!

Gary :wink:
