Here’s an update for you all. We haven’t gotten a lot of snow here yet, so I’ve only had a little bit of play time. The most recent snow was about 5” here and I couldn’t resist getting this behemoth out to blow away the 5”. I quickly found out I needed chains, so I ordered a set and got them yesterday. I put them on and drove it around today through the snow and what a world of difference they made. I have seen all of the arguments about ag tires va chains, and I decided to go chains with no additional weight to try it since it’s cheaper. The weight of the cast iron rear seems to be plenty. If I need more weight I will add it but so far so good. I love this tractor! Now,

That steering cylinder I rebuild is still working great!
