Default 1974 149 Blade duty

65 degrees and windy yesterday and today. My gravel drive got real soft in some places after the snow melted. Beautiful breezy day to get the 149 out and earn her keep with the blade. 1/2" crushed rock moved and spread well with the machine. Waiting on nashcub's #40 copy for the rear,also I have another set of IH weights coming. Those are 52 lb ea.lead ingots already mounted and will mount the IH weights in front of the lead. Plan on prep & IH 935 paint for the blade on the front which is from a spread frame tractor. About the cab: IT'S LOUD INSIDE! I wear ear plugs. IT'S WARM INSIDE! When the sun is out it can get hot in there...doors,rear window and front canvas will be coming off this spring.All in all a great worker,strong hydro with little creep.I recon I'll be keeping this one...and the grandkids love it!
