Thanks krisb! :beerchug:

You guys have been busy. :ThumbsUp:

I plowed my drive the the second time this season. Tire chains, the 200 Lb weight box and washer filled tires add a lot of grip.

Anyone ever added side boards on the end of the blade to turn the blades more into a snow pusher, like the blade you see attached onto loaders and backhoe that clean out parking lots. I could save a lot of time cleaning up if I did not have so much spillage from the blade.

medic75, these are for you.

i got some seat time in today. blew snow with the 1650 in the driveway then out to a wood pile in the woods. then i hauled up some wood with the trusty rusty 129 and the #2 cart.

Sweet spreader...where you find the plastic hopper....its a good size!

Great looking salt spreader, IHinIN! :beerchug:

ihnick: Thanks for the pics of your 129 and #2 cart. :ThumbsUp:

I think I'm needing one of those 129's...Nice wood hauling rig!

Pulled the Engine out of the 169 today. Needed to replace the oil pan. Old aluminum one had some damaged threads. Put a Cast iron oil pan on. While i was in there i removed the balance gears. They were really sloppy. I don't know how they had stayed in there. When i pulled the one off of the shaft a couple of the little bearings fell out.
