Enclosed seat time.
 

Finally moved a little snow with the 1872 this year. We had about 2" of sleet snow mix in the drive from several days ago we've been driving on. We got about 3" more of the same last night. So I went out to clean the drive this evening after work. The neighbor had already gotten most of the paved road. The stuff was sopping wet and freezing fast as the sun dropped. Pretty crusty, crunchy stuff. Some of the pics are kinda dark because it was getting dark. No real action shots because no one was available but me to take pics. the new reflectors and the lights show up well in the pics.

1st impression=The cab is warm. I was over dressed inside the cab. Did have to get a rag towel from the garage because of condensation from breathing on the window.

Second impression+ these new Carlisle Tru Power AGs and V61 front tires flat out work filled with WWF. Traction was just about the same or better than I've ever had with chains. Even backing up the hill after ramming a big pile of compacted ice/snow/gravel. I don't think I'll need the chains except on glare ice. I took some foot print pics as many have asked about the tires.

Front 18x8.50x8 V61 and print on crusted ice/snow. 3 gallons of fluid in each. 12 PSI

Rear 26x12x12 Tru Powers on same. 8 gallons of fluid each and 50lb each wheel weights. 12 PSI.

As you can see they made an impression and I never spun a tire unless The blade could no longer push a huge pile of ice/snow where I was stacking it. or was backing up hill away from the same.

I went down to the main road and cleaned up around the mail boxes. The tires worked even better on the pavement.

I'm also glad I installed the rock shaft support strap. I rammed a couple of piles that stopped the tractor. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Nice shots!! It looks like you had some fun. I can never get over how sharp your Cub looks with that color scheme.

Great pics, squatch! Thanks for sharing! :beerchug:

I'm still impressed by that beast! Keep posting pics I love seeing them!

Love the pictures squatch
The 1872 with the cab looks great :beerchug:

Great pics squatch! I agree with the everyone else on your paint scheme! The yellow front tins really look great :beer2: Can't wait for some "action" shots!!

Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for sharing your pics! That cab is so sweet!

Nice squatch! I concur with Methos on that cab, she's a beauty:biggrin2.gif:. I'd love to see some pics of that Haban blade you have, please:beerchug:.

Great pictures.....that thing looks like a beast! Still like the looks of that cab, did a great job on it. I see you have the same problem as me, no one around when it comes time to do the work - even if its just picture taking! Must be a blast to work with that Cub. Any thought of putting decals on it this summer?
:ThumbsUp:
