What have you done with/to your GC Series 2300, 2400, 1700 Tractor TODAY

[irvingj]

Yeah, Dave I saw that! We only got 6"+ here in NH's Etna, but my buddy in Leeds sent some pics, looks like he got at least a foot!

Can't wait for this "mixed precipitation" event Sunday.... yuck!

Calling for rain/snow/sleet here, might be some plow work in the morning, or maybe not.
Ready either way.

EverStart Platinum BOXED AGM Battery, Group Size 51R 12 Volt, 435 CCA


last Feb 2025 needed battery for my generator so pulled the 10+ yr old napa legend out that was showing signs of age and used that on generator. put this everstart in GC2400 and it worked great through rest of winter (minus 0 days) and seemed ok. presently below 10 deg it craps out, no reserve. glow plugs kill it.
so new napa legend (same I pulled out) just picked up and will be installed tomorrow. its 10deg out, if needed I could boost and start fluid the tractor but not needed.
I could pursue the warranty but....it would test well at store. no way to prove it craps out after glow plug run at store.

Cleared 2" of snow topped by 3/4" of sleet/ice with the snow blower.

at 10am it was 4 deg out. I plugged block heater in for 90 minutes and tractor did start at 6 deg F. was able to move it.
however due to medical issues not able to change fuel filter or swap battery out today. they both need to happen, one issue feeds other issue.catch22.
presently 13 out at 1330hrs and tractor is now sitting where I CAN work on it if needed. but it can wait.

I got home late this morning, popped on the BH ... My welding job is holding up good, even though it scorched the label!

Just a teaser shot ... In for a quick bite if pizza, then gonna get after it!

You're safe probably until Spring: we're iced in here in the Northeast. Fergie's safe in the shed for now, but she's still hoping for her much-delayed X-mas present.

Legend batteries were my second favorite for years, only beating out Interstate by a little. Last Legend on in my car, only went 4 years though, just like the Interstate before it. Which isn't bad. But, less than I expect.

I am currently trying out SuperStart from O'Rilleys.

The one in my GC has the record in there now, at 7 years, and going strong.

Yesterday I had the tractor in the garage to grease everything up and oil up the chain on the blower. We were supposed to get 6-10” of snow. Got rain, sleet and a couple inches of snow. Ended up using the plow on the 314-8, which I also lubed up yesterday.
