I'm done with winter!
 
It's 50° outside, the sun is shining, and the snow has melted. So I decided it was time for the snow blower to come off. I'll get the cab off later today. I may take it off in pieces since it will be getting painted over the summer. Hope this doesn't come back to bite me! (knocking on wood) :beerchug:

if it snows now you did it Lol :biggrin2:

Looks good, although you do realize you've just brought about a 2nd winter for all of us, right? :biggrin2:

R Bedell 03-12-2015 12:08 PM

45° here and start to see grass creeping through the snow.:biggrin2:

Sam Mac 03-12-2015 12:49 PM

59 here, plow and chains are put away. Think I'm safe till next winter. Green stuff starting to show. Both 2182's are pretty much ready to cut grass. :beerchug:

olds45512 03-12-2015 12:49 PM

45 here also and the sun is shining, most of the snow is gone except for the piles from plowing. Now if only the 3" of ice would melt of my driveway. I'd remove my plow but I'm getting 5 ton of gravel in a few weeks so I will be putting it to work.

I am ready to kill some grass.

Shrewcub 03-12-2015 02:13 PM

NO MORE SNOW!!!! at least not here :)
 
Cabs off!

My blower and cab are coming off the 1572 as soon as I get around to it. Even if I have to move some more snow I will just use my plow on my ATV. Hope the next time I use the Cub it will be for killing some grass.

Me too. You can fly up/down the driveway and not get bugs in your teeth!

Just checked the local forecast for the first day of Spring. NOT FUNNY WEATHER CHANNEL!

Either that or you're drunk mother nature, go home. :biggrin2:

My cub isn't shedding her winter gear for a good long while. Still snow on the ground. We've been bit with a heavy snowfall in late March before.

I like our weather more than what you have.

I actually pushed some "slushy" snow around tonight to have better access to the drive-way. Knocked down a pile. :ThumbsUp:

Sounds like you had fun. I sat on the porch and enjoyed a cocktail, thermometer says 75. Won't be long before I open the pool, sucks to be me. Seriously we have a couple crappy days coming but as long as we don't get any white crap I'm good with it. :beerchug:

I think we have all had enough winter, bring on the grass and HOT weather.

Fixed that for ya :beerchug:

We managed 67 this afternoon. That was perfect for raking the gravel out of the yard and filling the potholes in the drive. :beerchug:

I had 75 today here which is pretty amazing. Pushed some dirt/ mud to level out some ruts. I may be done with winter too, just hope winter is done with me

No you didn't, I said HOT and I meant HOT! 95+ is all good with me I just want to float around in the pool like a beached whale. :biggrin2:

You will never here me complain about it being HOT. I'm all for global warming. :beerchug:

:biggrin2: I hooked the cart to it and hauled the rakes down by the road to get some rocks out of the grass. People were slowing down to look at my naked tractor!!:bigeyes:

zippy1 03-13-2015 12:50 AM

Tractor looks good going into the grass mode Travis:beerchug: hope it's all down hill from here. We had upper 50's today and looking for 60's tomorrow, but closer to normal for the next two weeks which would be the 40's.
But that's okay, better than the what we hads:bigthink:

Shrewcub 03-13-2015 01:09 AM

Thanks, Todd! :beerchug: I'm definitely ready to "KILL SOME GRASS" as Sam would say! :biggrin2:

There's why I say warm and you say hot, I don't have a pool to float around in! :biggrin2: :beerchug:

Shrewcub 04-04-2015 08:26 PM

It's almost official...
 
I replaced the leaky crank seal today and painted the muffler and heat shield since it was off. Got the mower deck out of the barn, put on, and tried it out. But I got the last load of wood in the house this evening too. Hopefully tonight will be the last fire inside until next winter :beerchug:

She looks so sad to be tied up! :biggrin2:

Shrewcub 04-04-2015 09:59 PM

She just doesn't like her picture taken! She can roam free again when her leg is healed. :biggrin2: She's getting around too good already on 3 legs! :beerchug:

J-Mech 04-04-2015 10:03 PM

Nice work Travis!

Seems like everyone got more accomplished than me today! :angry:

All I got done was finish tearing apart a Honda V twin, and help my buddy fix the motor in his 169. That didn't take long..... after I got there, lol. He's been working on it most of the day when I he called out of frustration. I told him I'd be right up! We got it....:biggrin2:

Shrewcub 04-04-2015 11:16 PM

Thanks J! :beerchug:

Hopefully I can really put it to work full-time within the next week. I just knocked down a couple high spots today. Next project is getting the 3 point on the Super. :beer2:
