Snow Blower doesn\'t blow rocks
Well sorta....My father-in-law moved in recently while his house is being built. He is 70-something. Well he decide to help clear the driveway when it snowed.....what a mistake. Before I left out of town, I had went out and put up the orange driveway markers just in case. I pointed out to him where not to go and he said he was sure. I set down the night before and drew a map for him. As you can see I was really struggling with him getting in my machine. But he said he was okay and for me not to worry he would take care of my machine. My last night out of town, I got the dreaded call. The snow blower quit working. I asked all the usual questions about the pto shift lever, the pto button and all. Everything seemed to be where it was supposed to be. Well I got home, didn't go into the house, went right to the tractor. And looked inside the snowblower and found the shear pins broken and looked further and saw rocks all inside of it. When I calmed down, I went inside and there was my father-in-law waiting for me with a beer, his head hanging and apologizing. Felt bad for the guy, so I told him not to worry I'll repair the shear pins and everything will be good as new. Needless to say, if I go out of town again and its gonna snow, Ill call my buddy down the street with a plow truck and slip him $20 to come clear the driveway. A man hasta do what a man hasta do to protect his baby.......and no one is as careful as you are on your machine
