Mainly bought this tractor to use in winter for snowblowing the Long driveway up to my house. Found a new 6' inverted Pronovost on auction for that job. Now I'm looking for a good used L853 fel or westendorf model to hook onto the tractor.

Does your shelter have a dirt floor? My car had corrosion after I stored it in my dirt floor barn for the winter. These photos you've shared look way worse than what I've dealt with, but the car was inside for only 5 months in the winter When no dew came up from the ground like it does every...

I LIKE DAT!

I'd probably pick orange because that's what I have now, and we had an Alis Chalmers when I was growing up. We did have a couple red tractors too; A Farmall Cub (my dad still uses it and it looks brand new still) and a Super C model with narrow front end. Oh, and also a gray Fergusen TO30 which...

That topic could begin a whole new thread😎🤣

I'd guess if you were retired (had lots of time) and own a good size bulldozer and chainsaw it could be quite a project on your own. If that weren't the situation, I'd hire it out if I could afford to. Keep us updated how it goes. This is interesting.

I think you're on the right track with the land plane. I've been looking at them myself. I haven't found a used one near me, and new ones aren't in my budget this summer. I'll probably fab one this winter. There's a few videos on utube that demonstrate how good they work at finishing a road...

For myself and my personal equipment, -serviceable every time. It's usually simpler to use a zirk fitting than disassembling things to access a bearing to replace it.

Yup. Almost sounds like you live In our town here in northern NY. Same story here. Some want it, most of us don't, as at least not where they want it. Solar energy is a great concept, but lately it's gone overboard with promoting it. It uses up good farmland we desperately need. Where I live...

Use the second guy. Textile fabric will keep the mud and loose soil from coming up into your limestone while letting water drain down through it. Road grindings aren't a good base for anything unless they're ground down to very fine like you could use to pave with. The stuff I got from the...

Is it required to use Canadian made blanks South of the border? I know these make good brake line seal washers on Sunday when all the parts stores are closed and you need the truck the next day.

I don't know the dimensions of the shed, but you could get probably few more seasons out of it if you can get a good layer of plastic (tarp or whatever) under the whole thing, then if there's enough space, slide some treated 6x6 posts under it from one side to the other to support the floor...

I've always used aeroquip re-usable ends with the rubber cased steel braided hose. It's usually a quick fix that just needs a couple wrenches. If you have a chop saw, you can make your own hoses easily.

A flatbed trailer will give a better opportunity to see the situation behind the trailer. It could be even better with cameras (I've seen temporary cams that are magnet mounted and wireless transmit to a cellphone in the cab). Cams would be a huge benefit on a box trailer. Definitely practice...
