It's been a good machine, I've had it almost a decade. I picked it up for cheap($200) , the paints still original. I repowered it (23 hp vs 18) and made the necessary mods for the plow. I only use it to plow snow, and drag fallen trees around. my driveway is just short of 300 feet, too much for a shovel or snowblower.

That's a bit overkill for my needs, nice tractor. I should look into buying a zero turn, I've got about 2 acres of lawn. The rest of my property is nothing but forest.

I've got 2 tractors. My " snow machine " is a 70's southern states, true geared 4 speed. everything is rebuildable and serviceable. I've actually cut the idler pullies apart and replaced the 6203 bearing, readily available, and welded them back together. The ariens is maybe 10 years old and the only thing worth while is the briggs engine. It's one with a pressured oil system. Everything else is consumer grade junk. They want almost 100 dollars for the" variator" belt online. They're really proud of that belt. Here's a pic of the southern states.

Congregations. Beautiful car. Radio delete car or just missing the antenna?

Looks very good in that photo, polished up nicely. What's that just above the emblem?

Fantastic grand prix. Great choice with the color.

I had the same thought, my wife has medication delivered in those every month.

Welcome aboard Don.

Narrowed a set of wheels and started building a tubular irs framework.

Occasionally at work we do small jobs for the public, no big deal. When someone is shouldering fourteen foot of schedule 40 4 inch pipe ( it's about 11 pounds a foot galvanized) it's not the time to exchange pleasantries, gladhand, or generally mess about. Some people have no clue.

More rain and cold,might as well put tracks and ski's on the bike this season. Or pontoons.

More great work Michelle.

Beautiful Hudson, that interior shot is awesome.

That's how is goes, welcome to adulthood. My second car was a classic (1965 in 2001-2) I had a similar situation, high rates/risk pool. There's all sorts of hoops you gotta jump through in life, this is one of them. You'll get it sorted, and enjoy that Pontiac.

I was able to source most parts for my lawn tractor locally, pulleys and the common sized main drive belt, but as usual the other "cvt drive" one is not available. Referenced the "gates" number and tracked one down not cheap as far as belts go. Nothing is simple, "off the shelf" or built to last anymore. Oh, and the transaxle is plastic. The entire housing. Built in obsolescence.

Always liked this generation of subaru's. Cool build you got going on.

Both drive belts on my ride on failed along with the composite plastic idler pulley. Looks like time for some upgrades.

Good looking build.

Safe to assume his "handle" would be his business name?

I'm looking for a photo of the back side of one of these wheels to see if I could narrow a set for a build, these start at 15x8, I need to end up around 5 or 5.5 scale inches. Trying to fit 10 pounds in a one pound bag.

It took a major heath situation at 38 years old for me to quit. I really didn't have a choice.

Coat it with bit of peanut butter, it won't take much of the poison to do the trick

Thanks for the tip,I'll pick some up. I got under the crawlspace yesterday with some diatomaceous earth, this is the first time in 8-9 years owning the place I've had this issue to this extreme.

Just I quick tip, start with very light pressure for scribing. Less chance of the blade wandering. 👍
