    Right where I want to be.
    gmule, I'd love to find a truck like that, but they don't last here in Michigan unless it's been severely babied.
    Mid-late 80's?

    My old girl is currently garage kept but I don't plow with it. Maybe someday I'll buy a plow to mount on it. The frame is in excellent shape the body well it's ok at best. I tell you what there isn't a pile of snow that has stopped it yet! Last winter I pulled a tow truck out of the ditch with it. :rofl: :lol: Threw it in low and walked it out.

    I found that truck and plow for 800.00 on Craigslist. I felt lucky to get it even though the transmission was on its way out. It only l1 l2 no drive and no reverse I was able to drive it home. I have been slowing combing junk yards finding all of the parts needed to bring it back to its former glory.

    Warm temps within a couple hours of the end of a "snow" -sorry had to:D
    I will go play on the quad to break up the slush on the steep part of the driveway.
    don't own a snow shovel down here but I wore several of them out before leaving Maine - my old car scraper brush is actually hanging on the peg board where I put it 7yrs ago:whistle:

    Now why on earth don't you have the 47"/59" blower for that machine? ;) They are ANIMALS with a blower! And the conversion is a piece of cake.

    That will come in handy... I used to have one of these on the front of my tractor when I had a long driveway. Where I live now it's just easier to use a snowblower because there is no where to stack the snow.

    L3130 with anFEL and rear blade for the driveway . For the porches etc., I've found a leaf blower works better than a shovel . Comes in handy for clearing snow off the vehicles as well .

    It's a worthy cause if you get snow, and are looking for something to save your pennies towards.

    Nothing here worth walking out to the barn to take a picture of. Just a simple, old Ariens ST824. At least 15 years old. I bought it used years ago. Starts on the third pull, or a push of a button if I use the electric start.

    Jeep TJ Sport w Meyer 6 1/2 ft plow.
    10 yr old craftsman 29" path, 9 HP snowblower starts first pull ( I don't mind walking behind it. Better than shoveling).
    Also have a 36" snowpusher shovel that works awesome and I use often.
