Prepping for the big snow a meggedan tonight but this a truck line up.pic from this summer.

 

[xtremek]

How much you supposed to get? The Weather Channel has been saying 4" for the last 2 days, the TV guy is saying 5", and the other internet folks are saying 8". My bet is on 3".

 

[sublime68charger]

Storm prepped and ready the jd 140 has blower and chains is ready for the 8 to 14 that is on its way

We will get maybe 2 and I'll have to put the blade on the atv to deal with it. Blade is in shop and atv is as well need 10min to put blade on. Putting on blower and chains takes about a hour hence why that is set and ready.

 

[xtremek]

We will get maybe 2

2" or 2'? Didn't you already get a bunch?

 

[sublime68charger]

2" or 2'? Didn't you already get a bunch?

2" maybe is what we will get since I prepped for big snow. Got a dusting this last week but nothing big so far.

 

[sublime68charger]

2" or 2'? Didn't you already get a bunch?

If we get 2' I may be in trouble. Well not really uncle up the road 2 miles has john deere 4440 with 8' wide 3 point snow blower snow eating machine. Have used it 1 time at my place that was before I had the 140 with blower. Also my dad's 45hp boomer tractor with loader can work if needed has cab and heat which is nice.

 

[xtremek]

Your post with the pic of you being ready for the snow didn't show up until this morning. Now everything makes more sense. My interweb has been acting funny. And you're right, heated cabs are so nice.

 

[sublime68charger]

Work in the shop all day today ad its snowing slow and steady outside.

This is gonna be my logsplitter caddy tractor.

Got headlighs installed and hood on.
Grill won't fit with the led lights so it'll run with out the grill.

 

[xtremek]

How much of the white stuff did you end up getting? We got about 5"-6"

 

[sublime68charger]

The 140 putting in work snow blowing today and the atv as well which i got stuck in the snow bank had to wiggle a we bit but I got out without having to get other atv with winch.

10 ish the 140 and blower did a great job. Did not have any drifts taller than front of the snow blower.
Atv did cleanup

 

[sublime68charger]

So im gonna call this a xtremek day.

Took the 140 out for trial runs in the snow and 5 min into the run this happens

 

[sublime68charger]

Hook up the logging atv to get it dragged back to the shop.

 

[sublime68charger]

Going into the shop the headlight bezel gets broken smashed into back of atv Grrr. Not happy with myself on that. But I can jb weld and fix that again.it was already broken 1 time so.not like it was a pristine part.

 

[sublime68charger]

Got the 140 back up on stands didnt break the spindle so putting tire back on should be easy enough.

 

[sublime68charger]

It's the broken bolt in the steering gear box that makes this a whole xtremek project. I'll have to look up how to remove steering column and rebuild the steering g gear box.

 

[xtremek]

Sometimes when it snows, it blizzards. I can feel your pain. Good thing you have a back-up or two. Good luck getting this one back together.

[captain14]

Bring us along in your winter project repair. Can we use the term “xtremek” for other work in the future?

only when its something you have fixed and then it all goes awary and you have to fix it again.
That is the xtremek MO on things!!!!! LOL.

or at least any time something dosn't work out like you want then it becomes a xtremek project or work!

Today's snow removal pic.

This is my intown unit at the sister inlaws house and gets used at mother-in-law house as well.

I always like the snow packed Rim look but can never seem to get booth front and rear rims to be snow packed at the same time.
