169 winter glam shots
 

Few winter pix since we all like pix. New (to my machine) snow thrower and wheel weights. Thrower came from WV and the weights were local. Blasted them painted with 2 coats of gloss. Fastenal supplied the stainless carriage bolts.:beerchug:

Looks great! :beerchug:

Nice setup you got there Userj8670.:beerchug:

That's a really nicely outfitted tractor. Looks like it did a great job doing what it was meant to do also. Thanks for the glam shot :-)

Where's all the snow? :bigthink:

Great looking Tractor and snow thrower. My 149 with snow thrower sitting in garage waiting for the snow..

No longer on the driveway lol

Sure, but a leaf blower would have cleaned up that much snow.......:beerchug:
Nice eye candy though! Happy New Years everyone.

Looks good user j. I remember you saying that you purchased that one from Tennessee and had it shipped. Care to share about the shipping $$? Only reason I ask is because I just used Fastenal for a bigger item from Illinois to Florida and it was $119 on a pallet. I would imagine yours was considerably more but apparently worth it as you ended up with that awesome 169. If you don’t want to share I understand but was just curious to see if the Fastenal gig is the way to go for bigger stuff. I’ve used R and L before with an LTL and it was right to my door from Texas and wasn’t bad either.

Beautiful tractor! Looks like it is a real snow killer.
Not to hijack the thread, but a quick comment on Fastenal. I have used them to ship quite a bit of large items like a 60" Haban deck (TN to NY) or a 50 hp outboard motor (NY to WI). Their rates seem to be consistent at around $125 per standard pallet. It's a great deal, usually less than two weeks to a destination, and so far no damage.

cool looking setup. I would love to have a snowblower, but since we get about one snow a year, my plow is good enough.

I have learned that Fastenal is the way to go. The snowblower came from WV to Niagara falls and I think it was $160. The seller put it on a pallet for me and could t be happier with the whole transaction.

To answer your question about the tractor I had to use a private company. The seller was quite older and to obtain this tractor took alot of my patience lol. Consequently he was unwilling to invest the time to put it on a pallet for me hence shipping company. It was around $500 door to door. Came in an enclosed trailer - I was very very pleased.

I am sure some people think that is nuts but I have always wanted a 169 and I do what i want with my hard earned money!

Looks great! Thanks for sharing.

Looks like it was worth every penny! Thanks for the pics:beerchug:

Thank you! It's been a fun project. I will admit that I owe alot it to JMech for dealing with my 10001 questions and lending his expertise!
