Snowblower test time

[paulg]

I did my test run on the snowblower. It started.
Also, I purchased a new spill-resistant gas can.
Are y'all ready for the first snow ??

I'm ready here,

got the snow tires remounted on both cars, have a good 150 lbs of salt on stock for the driveway and sidewalks, and have a brand new 26" Cub Cadet snowblower with electronic ignition to use, as well as 10 gallons of gas on sock for the snowblower and fro the generator in case of power outage. I also just picked up my last coat from the cleaners today and dug out the leaher driving  gloves

Thanks

Ugh. Forgot the rock salt. And the "bag o' gloves" is still in the basement. Got the snow brushes for the car and new wiper blades since the car was in the shop anyway.
A new snowblower huh? Must be nice. Mine has the purchase tag on it. It'll be ten years old in December.
Gotta get a new coat. And I saw them at COSTCO today ! I was so focused on buying Thanksgiving supplies I forgot all about myself... well... except for the bottle of Grey Goose...

I Always keep my snow brush in the car all year long right next to my flashlight, but I do need to get 1 new one as I broke one last year. The windshield wipers I forgot about, and that is something I do this time each year. I too was in the alcohol dept today as well, had to pick up a bottle od Martini&Rossi Asti, for my champagne basted turkey, and 3/4 of the bottle for me, I am good on vodka, have 3 1.75 litre bottles of Belvedere and a fifth of Boyd&Blair, no Grey Goose here.

We have friends who moved here 6 years ago from Jackson, Minn and they said the best day was the day they got to sell their snow plow.

Got ours out for the surprize snow that came in 2 weeks ago. Started on the first pull!

I'm hoping for 65 degree weather thru February

After that BIG SNOW we had last year/earlier this year!

I'm actually looking FORWARD to snow this year!

We had an electric snowblower right in my lawn & garden dept. at work at the end of last summer and I bought it, got it out of the box to get in my car (& had to crawl UNDER my car to retrieve the small screw to the crank for turning the discharge chute), assembled it & stuck in my tool shed...!

And more electrics & gas ones have been added, too...

I'm NOT Shoveling This Year!!!!!!

No snow here to use a snowblower on-I use a leafblower instead-we get so little a leafblower works fine.You can't even buy a snowblower in my area!

Still have to mount the blade on the 78 Allis Chalmers, and the snowblower on the 68 Simplicity. Did buy a new battery, though!

Allis Chalmers

I didn't know Allis Chalmers made snowblowers. Is it a piece of converted farm equipment?

 

[goatfarmer]

This is an Allis Chalmers garden tractor. But AC did make walk behind snowblowers. There are a couple on the left in this picture.
