Good morning!!!!

34F and cloudy @ 20:00

Got a little clean up done in the shop and then got some stove wood split just before I came down for dinner.

Earlier I hosed off the regular loader bucket (upcoming mods and paint touch up), snowblower, and wood chipper and then moved the wood chipper into the shop for maintenance, modifications, and general TLC:

I'm going attach a couple pieces of 4" x 6" x 48" PT lumber to the bottom of the base to raise the unit up so that the PTO shaft isn't running at an extreme angle, cut off the feed roller bar and move it to the back and make it foot-operated, add a couple of pieces of plate into the throat of the feed chute to prevent small stuff from wrapping around the feed roller rod/axle, and, if I can scare up a suitable chunk of sheet/plate, modify the side wings on feed chute so that they angle outwards. Also need to modify the top link attachment point for clearance with the quick-hitch hook.

Might even have a look at modifying the output chute so it can be rotated ...

And I need to grease the unit, check belts/alignment, sharpen the blades, and set the anvil/blade clearance ...

Finally remembered to take the pictures.

Dabsgt nice new tractor. Might think about some chains.

Thank you all. Loaded the tires and I'm hoping that the chains from my 855 will fit.

farmer2009: The slab looks fine. a 1/16th or even an 1/8th of an inch is nothing to fret over.

I'm not Dave. Concrete will never be perfect but the flatter you shoot for the better off you are.

Need to get second cup of coffee poured. 28° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 34° with possibility of some lake affect snow in the afternoon. Off to Dentist for 6 month cleaning and checkup. Neighbor has a 100' trench that needs filling in. May wait a day to do it. Should be a little warmer with sun tomorrow.
DABSGT, nice green tractor.
Good Morning All.

42 cloudy and breezy headed to 47. Rain/snow chances tonight now up to 60%.

Will try to mulch leaves (finally finished falling around the house yesterday) then change oil in 4Runner before rain starts this afternoon. I still need to take the bush hog off the tractor, so maybe the rain will hold up a while.
