Nick, back a million years ago when I was younger, a bit dumber, and a lot more optimistic, I had a neighbor that plowed snow with his '73 F250, and talked me into going out with him with my '69 IH 1200D (both 3/4T) to make a few extra bucks. After 2 winters of burning both ends of the clock working days and nights, getting stuck and sitting waiting for my buddy to get free to pull me out (and vise versa), welding his and my broken stuff between runs, dealing with customers who felt that THEY had to be plowed out before anyone else, especially when it started snowing at 6pm, was still going strong at 6am and their place was already done once, or even twice... a FEW bucks and a bunch of painfully frustrating moments at the time, though laughable in hindsight is all that I can claim.
