Winter Projects

[73F100Shortbed]

Well we haven't seen much snow yet (which will hopefully happen soon). I have to build belt covers for my 2 walk-behind mowers. One I completed today with some spare metal that has been laying in the basement for years now. I also have to take apart and paint both mowers. I will also be making a bracket to mount a snow plow to the one mower. Might as well make it useful for the winter months. That's about all I have going on for now.

So what do you all have to do during the winter to make the time pass by?

working on the crew cab.....w/ this nice 'winter' weather...as loong as Ihave the plow on the f150 it won't snow

What difference between this winter and last winter lol. We got about 4 inches here over the weekend and then the rain washed it away by Monday.

here we've only got a little dusting in TN. last year we was getting 2-3 inches a night about 4 different times.. one of the craziest winters here last year..

 

[73F100Shortbed]

Last year here was great. 30 inches in one night. Then a week later 20 more inches fell.

Snow plow mounted to walk behind lawn mower. Too bad I didn't get to use it with this crappy winter.

Mower painted and ready for spring

One more mower to go... Hopefully this week.

can I drop off my trailer for you to do and I can remove that 'old' car for you too!..

why aren't you working on the 'stang instead of painting the mower and trailer?

 

[73F100Shortbed]

You can drop the trailer off lol. The mustang is on the list to get worked on but need more cash first lol

I hear you, just waiting for a guy to come up from south jersey to buy my 3pt backhoe attachment so I can get some cash to put into the crew and bills...mostly bills, this lack of snow plowing put a real dent in my cash surplus

 

[73F100Shortbed]

Thanks Ryan. Probably would come out better if I had a sand blaster to really clean up everything. But I was happy to get that all done with $40 worth of paint and still have some left over.

Yeah snow plowing was greatly disappointing this year.

 

[lostinfords]
