Tim, nice video you have there. :beerchug:

And yes that 551 will blow the best of all we own, thanks.

Awesome vid of the 782 in action!

hooked up a wide-band oxygen sensor to the Original puller to check the A/F ratio. Kinda geeky, but I had it here.

Dare I say that this is probably the first "O" to use an O2 sensor? :biggrin2:

Very cool. On my list for someday. Do the rules allow a egt? If you run both for a while it is easy to get a feel for Afr on the egt. Then it can cover daily tune.

147R sees its shadow:)
 

Had to move some items to another storage location so the 147R got some action. This thing will do awesome burn outs and donuts on the ice! The fresh 14 hp sounds really nice and the straight pipe barks real sweet!
Yea most folks put the blade and snow thrower on the tractor. I just pull them around for show.

Nice pics of the 147R Chris!:beerchug:

Great pics, guys!

Felt great to get the cubs out today! Also picked up some limbs from last weeks snow and ice.

Snow is all gone there Allen!:bigeyes:
Looking good! Wish I could see the grass here!:biggrin2:

Thanks Mike! It was 65 here today. :beerchug:

Rub it in Allen!:biggrin2:

Sorry buddy! :biggrin2:

Maybe June I will see some grass!:biggrin2:

:beerchug: Great pics guys, yeah we are knee deep in snow and this warmer weather and possible rain in the next few days is not what I want to see.

And Chris get the thrower on the 147R and really let it BARK,lol.

Looking good! I love those duallies.

Didn't think to video, until I was almost done. Sorry about the shaking, tire chains on concrete!

Won't be too long Mike. On Monday, we got 5 inches of snow. Yesterday, our temp got up to 45*. The warmest we've been since November. Most of the new snow melted. Problem is, we still had another foot of snow under the new 5 inches. Hopefully the warmer stuff is headin' eastward for ya............

Allen,
Good to see the cubs put to work. The Super is getting left out from all the fun. Hope you get it back soon.

Thanks guys!

Made a new lift rod for the snow blower. Old one broke welds and I wanted an adjustable one anyway. Turned out pretty good I think. Had not welded the washer in place on the blower end in this pic but you get the idea :-)
Thought I would show how I made the bends in the press. Used a bar for the initial bend then then a angle to sharpen the bend more for the connection end.
One shows the new bar matched up with the blade bar. And a spare I tested a sharp bend with before I made it on the lift bar.

moderators - Can I get this moved to homemade or implements?

Got the 1864 out on this beautiful 63° day and smoothed out some ruts in the yard and got some wood to have a fire on top of the stump in the foreground. :beer2:

Moved some stuff from the garage to the new shed today. (metal) Kinda got over ambitious. Started out ok, moved it a little for a photo shot and big surprise. Decided to pull some off to drive it. lol I put my sam on for other loads and taught him a little about driving with a light front end. Could not take a pic cuz I had to hold down the front while he drove.

Cool pics of the 782!

Nice cub pics!:beerchug:

Got the new belt on the 551 yesterday and I am going to put it to the test later this afternoon. :Salute:

Wood
 

Putting in a little wood,before the next snow.
Attachment 47664
I hope this works.

Great pic of your cub and load of wood!

Got a "new" engine for my 1811. Doesn't smoke, starts good, has about the same hours but better PO care, so I'm told. Came out of an 1862 that had tranny problems and fuel tank problems. My 129 found a new home so I could get this motor. I did the swap last night and it runs great, compared to the old motor :biggrin2: No smoke, no knocking, and didn't burn any oil (plus it had the flywheel guard and an air cleaner with no holes in it). Good news is now I've got a spare M18 sitting in my shop for parts should they ever be needed. Anywho, here's a pic of the new motor next to the old one. The new is the dirtier one :biggrin2: In this pic, I hadn't wiped it down or anything else. After I took it, I removed the shrouds and found a surprisingly clean motor. This had been sitting for about a year so that accounts for the dirt...I guess :bigthink:

Sugaring with a 1711
 

Spent most of today running sugaring tubing with the 1711. We have over a foot of snow in the woods but with the help of a mini dozer I built a few years ago and the 1711 I was able to plow a road down back and start setting up for the next sap run. Will be using the 1711 to haul sap as well.

Like to see some pics of the mini dozer. So when do you guys start sapping? Certain day/month or certain temps? (I have no clue, so I'm asking just because, :biggrin2:).

Glad you found a nice engine!

Nice 1711 and thanks for the pic!

Nice pics guys and glad to see you found an M18 Ryan!:beerchug:

Me too, but I'm always on the lookout for more of them. Love the twin's!

Sorry if this is off topic (yes the color is wrong). Here is the mini-Dozer.

As for sugaring. Trees are tapped in the late winter to spring. The sap runs best with freezing nights and above freezing days. Once the trees bud you are done. Collected close to 700 gals of sap last year to make just over 14 gals of maple syrup.

1711 hauled all the sap.

Should have put this one up yesterday. Here is photo from last year with the 1711 set up to haul sap. Back rack was built to hold 3 - 7 gal water jugs.

You have some nice machines!

That is one very cool crawler!
Enjoy hearing about the sugaring and fantastic to hear about cubs working for a living.

Nice dozer and 1711!:beerchug:

i like that mini dozer!! :ThumbsUp:

If anyone is interested here is the link to my mini dozer build.
