Had to move a pallet of Clip-Stone boxes inside the fence because the shed project is finally ready for them. Originally unloaded them a couple months ago from the truck with a hand cart and restacked, but didn't feel like loading them back onto a cart, dragging through the landscaping beds all the way around the fence through a gate. So I filled the bucket of the little loader multiple times, and lifted it above the fence, and grabbed them out of it on the other side and stacked them near the work area. Wife thought I was nuts and created more work, but she wasn't the one that would've been dragging around a hand cart of 60 lb boxes of stone veneer through river rock over and over.
Lifted the loader higher on future loads and curled the bucket down to make unloading by hand easier. Hopefully will have all the excess lumber returned, and debris hauled off this weekend so I can finish grading out the area with this massive piece of earth moving equipment.

Bought a new to me 2182 second serial #break removed the 54 gt deck and doing a fluid change as well as adding some parts from xtreme. Going to be putting the blower on it soon and get it ready for snow also just did the engine oil and a new air filter and plugs along with new coolant. I have the haban reinforcement to help the rockshaft found that out thanks to reading previous posts on the form thanks everyone for all the good info and stories!

Predator engine swap
 

Finished up the electrical and PTO install. It's a 1440 that's getting a Predator 670 installed.
I also have a 1782 with a very tired Kubota that will also get a Predator 22hp, once I'm done with this one.

Ready for snow
 

Got my 86 all ready for plowing snow. Snowing tonight so I'm ready. Amazes me every Fall how after sitting idle nearly all summer, it just starts right up. Time to show it some love next summer and do a bunch of maintenance. Hoping Cody is still working on tractors - I'll need his help.

Welcome to the OCC forum Bobssonbob.

We had a dusting of snow here last night and I'm happy for the help I got Thursday to set up my 1872 plow tractor. It does feel good to be prepared.

I put the lift link on my 1811 for the sleeve hitch. Next up is the extreme beefed up bracket for the al rear end. Might finish it tonight, as we're projected to see snow later this week and the 1811 has the plow/chains this year. Tempted to try my 782 w/ ag rears and rear box blade, too, in the snow.

Got to try the Original out with the lawn sweeper. Loved every minute of it! :ThumbsUp:

Well, will see if we get 18-inches or Not. But Glad we are getting snow. This will be the 1st Year I actually try out a front Blade On My 106 for snow It has usually been outfitted with a QA36A since I bought it in 2003 I am Just using it On are sidewalk that wraps around the front of the House and Maybe the Paths for the dogs In the Backyard. I actually have had the 42-inch Front Blade for 15 years and Never really used it Much other than Pushing Mulch Into a Loader Bucket

1811 is all finished, another Brinly adapter from PBJ is ordered and en route. :beerchug:

This, like every weather event, is blown out of proportion.
