Yea that's what i am talken about. I did the truck plowing for 19 years , till my last truck got totalled out When a 17 year old kid lot it on a curve while racing his buddy and slammed into me broad side head on . Went to buy a new plow set up for my newer truck and about had heart failure on the price . So i just stopped doing it . But still needed something for myself . So i made up a plow set up for the Super H , i had a 7 1/2 foot western plow i had steel , welder torches drill press and a blueprint in my head. Pulled the H in the shop set up four jack stands and started with two pieces of 4 inch channel and went at it . Three and a half hours later the plow was on and working , Put the pulling weight brackets on it used some all thread and put four sets of donuts on the rear wheels and hung 2000lbs of iron on it and it sorta worked but if you tried to back up on a hill you was stuck . So back to the drawing board . I still had two sets of 12-16.5 tire chains left over from my old plow truck and a whole bag of repair links a bag of side ling chain , So i took them and made a set of chains up to fit 13.6x38 tires . Now it would plow snow and move . So i would bring it in to the house and once here i would put the chains on an cover it with a tarp. Now comes the down side of H and home drive snow plowing , When the snow would come and i would go out and get the tarp off of it and fire it up and like all old gas tractors ya would have to let it warm up , so that would take about fifteen min. Then the plowing would start a push here a couple pushes there and i was done . Back it into it's parking space and cover it back up once the muffler cooled . Then here would come all the FREE LOADING lazy neighbors that during the rest of the year that would go out of there way to not even wave or say HELLO would be knocking at the door to get you to come over and do there work for them . Well call me and arres hole but why should i when they would not even speak to you the rest of the years But would be the first to sue you if something happened . Nope ain't going to happen . Even with this SHARE drive that i have now with the last three neighbors that have come and gone they expect me to do it all and with out even a thank you. When this new one that just had to have the house and we first talked i told her that this is a SHARE DRIVE and where the propperity lines were and NO you DO NOT OWN wright up to my garage and her having THREE teenage BRATS Who would NOT do anything it was MY resonceabilty to keep the drive clean and salted so she could get up and down fifty times a day . That is when i asked her WHY I should do this when it is a SHARE drive and until the snow gets over two feet deep I do NOT NEED to cleanit as we have Four wheel drives and as long as the TRUCK can get up and down i DO NOT have a probelm YOU have a problem and YOU can park your car down at the car wash and market and WALK home.
Or you lazy Arrse kids can get out there and DO your Half and i will do mine . Well now this disfuntional family the kids are all gone and she has a Boyfriend out of town so One week she goes up to his place and is not at home and one week she stays here . So i only have to put up with her twice a month . Now the Fatman across the street and i get along as he will help me and i will help him , but we do torment each other He is good on small engines and well i am good on the bigger stuff . when one of my Lawn and garden THINGS does not work and i so do hate working on something that you have to PULL start or crank. IF it don't start by the tenth pull it get drug across the street . When he has a carb proble with one of his older TOYS here he comes with Carb in hand Or if he is trying to work on brakes or needs a stronger impact here he comes . If he needs something done in wood working here he comes with wood in hand . Yep he and i get along . But the rest Nope people around here don't get better till ya get south of the Bypass.
