Isn't that how they all act, anyway?

I mounted my plow to my tractor last night, installed the wheel weights, got all the plow adjustment linkages freed up and working nicely. Have tire chains for it ready too but I'm gonna try it without them first as I don't know how aggressive they'll be on my pavement.

Pretty much guaranteed that this storm isn't gonna dump much of anything.

I petty much did the same thing with my night. :laugh: All lubed up, fueled up, and anti-gelled.
Not plow though, I got the bucket only. Works well for pushing the banks back.
I got my ballast (~950lbs of steel with a small concrete cap to keep it in place. I was shooting for 1200lbs but ran out of scrap) all finished up a few weeks ago and the paint finally cured. I put a slow moving vehicle triangle on the back of it so when I am backed out in the road there is some reflection past the back of the tractor at night.

I still want to get a 72" 3pt snow blower and I desperately need some lighting besides the headlights but that'll have to wait a year (which is what I said last year).

Somebody gave me a giant free welder and a bottle of gas. I tossed this in my bad, good enough for weight. Me and Adam got most of my shop boarded, then THE Ken Stein made an appearance.

It's still coming down here pretty good so I'll probably head out in an hour or so and see how it does...got about 4-5" so far. Someone gave me a powered 48" snowblower attachment for it but it's for a much older (and a size larger) model tractor, I haven't really looked at retrofitting it or if the PTO will even work. For now I'll try the plow and see what happens.

I've been doing all those "little" things that pop up when you move into an empty house as you discover needs. Like when you come in from shoveling snow and realize there's nowhere to put your wet boots, gloves, coat etc without tracking all over the kitchen. Wasn't until I started living in a completely hardwood-floored house that I fully grasped what boot trays, doormats, coat racks, and (yes I'm an old man) slippers/moccasins are for. :laugh:

So I hung all the shelving and closet rods in my mudroom/closet, got a boot tray & hung a coat rack by the main entrance door, etc. Fun.

We have maybe an inch, not much yet.
If your tractor is a standard category size 1 or 2 than you should be fine to toss it on the back since you can adapt those easy back and forth. If your is a cat 0 then you are S.O.L unless the blower is also that.
The 72" one we really is almost scary looking with double stacked, dual stage rotors and a 28" impeller :D I am hoping to save over the winter and get one "out of season" at a good price in the spring.

I hear you on the footwear piece. Hell we don't even use the mudroom as a mudroom yet cause I don't want to dirty my nice porcelain. If you have a coat rack and closet rods you are many steps ahead of us!

The shitbox xj is very controllable in the snow with 25" studded winterforces on it. in 4wd I can barely break traction on a couple inches of sorta packed snow.

I went to a new junkyard today and got a manual transmission for it for $150 with a 13 month warranty. They were pretty dumb to offer that long a warranty on anything to me :eyes::anon:

The aw4 has started slippping for 10 seconds going into 2nd the first time and slams into 1st when starting from a lightas well as the old "ugly rasping from the bellhousing" so I decided I should kick my swap plans into action sooner than expected. I am not putting another aw4 in it, they don't last with my right foot how it is, and I only have a few more parts to get before I can do the swap.

Anyone got factory front/rear driveshafts for a 96-01 5spd 4x4 4.0 8.25 handy? I will make some if I need to, but I am lazy and would rather just bolt them in.

Oh you're gonna be pissed, I think the one out of red jeep is still under my toolbox.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Wasn't red jeep a 95? Different length shaft, the old ones were longer.
