Re: Winter Snow and Storm Pics

And the grand total is DSCN1947.JPG This is more than the entire Winter produced. Funny how it stayed at 11 1/2 yesterday for the longest time while actively snowing, it must have been packing down. The resort close by us reported 27 inches but they do have quite a bit more elevation going on. I'm ...

Re: HF Parts Washer

Let's just go back to "pasteurized oil", that was fabulous! Dave would definitely buy some! I wish mine needed less work... I went for about two years where everything was fine, but have been into a run of repairs lately. And there are cars and other equipment to work on to... Guys, I know it's a b...

Re: Winter Snow and Storm Pics

Well I was all set to post pictures of the storms here... BUT at the moment the ground isn't frozen and the only snow we got didn't even need to be shoveled !!!  I feel sorry for the folks who want to ride snowmobiles, you need to go for a long drive to find enough to even unload a machine.  I was ...

Wow, am I late to the party! Rich, have you wiggled the PTO switch while turning the engine over? I have had to do that on occasion. First thing, I'd find a known good ignition switch identical to the one you originally replaced. That way it is back to where you started. I agree with whoever said it...

Re: Plotting my own demise.

I took care of mine a few years ago. Direct cremation with no viewing or any trimmings. Only family that would show would be my wife and her brother and maybe his kids (who basically ignore me now unless they need something) so why bother with the show. I wanted them to dispose of the ashes as well...

Re: Winter Snow and Storm Pics

I tried something with my QA42 on my 147. I block off the grill so none of the hot air from the motor comes out and blows on the discharge chute. It seems to help as I don't have near as many clogs with wet snow. I always sprayed my chute with silicone spray in wet heavy snow conditions. It helped ...
