I never wanted any snow removal jobs, but over the years, folks would sometimes call on me to come with my tractor/loader/snowblower. As I stated, I never went looking for these kinds of jobs. When you look for this work, people have a different expectation. Most folks that I have worked for, have typically called on me near the end of a tough winter, when either they can no longer cope, or the snow removal person they had is beat by to much snow. Long lanes to rental homes on farms, or hobby farmers that have reached their wits end. These are the kinds of messes I have been called to. I charge a dollar per minute from the time I leave home, till the job is done to their satisfaction. So for 60-80 bucks I would clean out a plugged farm lane. Usually these folks have sealed their fate by pushing up snow with a blade, or small tractor, and first good blow, they are plugged again. I cleaned one fellas lane three times a week for a month, he told me I was a crook, and I was breaking him. Next time he called, I told him that I was busy, go find someone else. The whole family walked through knee deep snow for a week, and he called me up and apologized, and asked me if I could come and clean out the driveway for them because the fuel truck couldn’t get in. Told him I could, did he have the cash ? When I was done his wife came out and paid me, then winter ended quite suddenly after that. They moved next summer. Snow removal is a thankless job

In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together.
