Too much else going on with Christmas upon us to worry with them right now. Heck, I have a small fortune in parts sitting here for my 2284 that need to be put on.
Other than these, no real plans for extensive Cadet work this winter. But I do have some older farm tractors that need TLC--some of them are red.
Yep, its the slow season. A few weeks ago I took the 54" deck off my 2284 and put the 551 blower on it and it hasn't moved since. I'm sort of wishing I lived up in Erie right now. As soon as we get a good Nor'easter up the east coast the site will probably light up again with tractor and snowblower questions. Or winter maintenance questions to get ready for spring. I may be one of those question askers, since I have never used my blower, and might have some questions... and I surely will post some action pictures if/when that time comes.

By the way, I hate "faceplant" and refuse to go anywhere near it. In 2012 I had a knock at my door from Child Protective Services because my wife posted a picture of our then 6 year old daughter standing in front of a frying pan of eggs cooking, and someone on my friends list took exception to that and thought it was child endangerment. They said in their report to CPS "Where are the parents" and included a copy of the photo. Hey anonymous dummy, WHO took the picture??? A thorough investigation found no wrong doing... So yeah, I blew up my Facebook account and lost a lot of friends over that because I lost all trust for pretty much everyone on my "friends" list not knowing who did it. Whew, that rant went off the "off topic" topic quickly... Sorry about that.
