you got that right.

Had the granddaughter Lily over for her one year birthday today, and she had to sit on the Original. At least it get's some use when the kids are over.:biggrin2:

She is ADORABLE!

That looks to me like in just a few years you will be losing that beautiful tractor to an equally beautiful granddaughter.

Its good to start them young. :biggrin2: Great picture!

Happy Birthday to Lilly! She sure seems to be enjoying her time on the "O".

Plowed about 6" of heavy wet snow with my 149. Very impressed with its abilities. Glad to have the hydraulic lift.

More Snow!
 

Hey all, I have been out with the model 72 with IH 56" blade twice this morning already! The snow has been falling heavy! I'd say we're well over 12" by now in a matter of 24 hours. I can't say enough about the model 72 with the rebuilt Kohler K241 all-gear drive tractor! She'll load up that IH 56" and power right on through! I can push that snow clear back into the yard, and not worry about wrecking up the lawn,... something you'll never do with a full-size truck! The 72's greepy gear makes operating between parked cars safe and careful. Back-dragging most of all our walkways, and minimal snow shoveling gets the remainder! This year I have reconditioned the blade shoes, and have been using them from the start of winter. I have the shoes set about 1.5" above, and I notice a lot less stress on the blade during operation. Before, with out the shoes, when the ground is still not yet frozen, the blade would dig into the gravel drive, and peel up strips of sod. I'm now a believer of the shoes on my IH 56" snow blade!

Have a good day enthusiasts!!!!

Walloped today, everything shutdown, 1811 on the job.

Better you than me, I hate snow. 30, sunny and windy here. Supposed to be in the 60's to 70's this weekend. :biggrin2:

Have fun with the snow. Looks like the 1811 is Gittin Er Done. :beerchug:

Went up the road to EricR's and got the old 102 with the blade and plowed both of our drives. Did not get pics but refer to CCGuy's pics and that is pretty much the pic of me.

Love the action shots!! Looks like the 1811 is doing a great job!:beerchug: But looks like the snow is falling faster than you can push!!:biggrin2::biggrin2:

Better get a blower for that 1811. You might run out of room to put snow!

Looks like the 1811 was up to the task at hand. Great action shots.:beerchug:
Better you than me... I WANT SPRING!:biggrin2:

Last night I finally got to find out if the 1211 would plow snow without chains, it will but it sucked. After getting my driveway done I went out to my mother in law's to plow and after digging it out of a huge snow drift the 1050 fired right up and purred like a kitten, that 1050 has to be the smoothest running cub I've ever had.

March Nor'easter - 12" & Counting
 

4+ Hours of seat time today... and as of 7:30pm still coming down sideways! One more run at 10pm. Love the low end torque of the Magnum 18. Just wish I had a wider blade!

Man, you all got a PILE of snow.:bigthink: (Better you than me:biggrin2:)
Good to hear the Mag 18 was up to the task.:beerchug:

I had to get the 1211 out for the second time all winter, it does ok without chains but it spins alot. The 1050 is out at the mother in law's and sadly it has to sit outside but it always fires right up and runs great, here's a short video of it pushing snow in third gear, there was only about 4" but some of the drifts were deeper than the blade.

Cool video Tim.:beerchug: But just to short in length.:biggrin2:
You must be one tough some bitch, plowing without gloves, or no feeling in your hands...:bigthink:

Sorry, I didn't have my camera crew with me. You can't operate a touch screen phone with leather work gloves on so they had to come off, once I was done they went right back on, it was about 15° and the wind was blowing hard enough there was a few times it started​ to lift the hood.

Fixed the lift arm for my blower but I still have to fix the augers that broke in all this snow.

Pulled the loaded and chained up tires off the 1650 and replaced with the Tru-Powers and weights.:beerchug:

The cubs are looking sharp, Todd!

They look great Todd!:beerchug:

Used the rear blade with 121, loved every minute of it! :beerchug:

You're the grader man now Allen.:beerchug:
Good job.:beerchug:

Thanks Todd! :ThumbsUp:

Well done Buddy. I need to get a back blade for my driveway. :beerchug:

Fleet is looking sharp, looks like you need more wheel weights.

Thanks guys! :beerchug:

Sam, they work great! :ThumbsUp:

No pics, but I put the 48GT back on the 1864 and greased everything. Killed some grass and put the 1662 in the work bay to get that done. Sounds like I need a bearing somewhere on the deck.:bash2: Should have disassembled all the spindles while I had it off. Oh well, I'll find time someday.:beer2:

Myla and I got the 2372 out from a short winter nap to play pickup sticks. Maybe some lawn sweeping and a fire later?:beerchug:

Put the mower deck on my 1604, made sure she was ready to mow. Tried looking over the headlight wiring to see why they aren't working, and tried to see if there was a way to tighten up my loose shifter.

2372 is looking good, Travis! Want some 75lb wheel weights for it? :biggrin2:

Broke out the 1864 from winter storage and rolled the neighbor lady's and my yard. Also changed the engine oil after I finished rolling.

Good looking cub, you have there!

Went to Napa and had a oil line made for the 782. No More Leaky.:biggrin2:

Very nice, Todd! :beerchug:

:ThumbsUp:
