Well it's been a wild ride the last few days so I didn't get to work on my tractor. Power went out Saturday around 630pm and didn't come back on until today around 1130am so that's 41 hours! Lol. It was so windy Saturday night one of my trees got pushed hard enough to pull up the ground and roots about 8 inches so now I have a 140 foot tall white pine to deal with before it goes over and takes out the corner of my neighbors house... it's always something eh!? Lol.
howd it go, still in one piece, really i should be asking is everyone else in one piece?
yep been really busy i went out a couple towns over yesterday too everythings fine. my trucks running lights started working and the dash lights started working yesterday too and my truck is running amazing it lights right off and runs amazing

well last staurday i was out i couple towns over again and the lights stopped working in a town with no parts stores so i went to the next town, that had an autozone (i hate autozones) and replaced the light switch and it fixed it but the switch pannel is busted now from the brittle 28 year old plastic (1993 chevy) now everything on my truck works exept, the wipers half work and the steering column wobbles, rust, rust, rust, and the tires are the wrong size. otherwise my trucks fine

I noticed that a couple weeks ago and nearly shat myself! I figured it was a weird glitch or something?!
In other news...
I scored this 1978 Briggs 8hp (190402-1794) today for $40! It's destined for my walk behind snowblower because the 8hp Tec in it now is ready to grenade!
The guy said it's been sitting in his shed for the last 12 years taking up space but before he put it up for sale he cleaned the carb, gave it quick go over and ran it which is good. It apparently fired up within the second or third pull and settled into a perfect idle! I didn't start it because I could feel some resistance/hear a minor scraping and wanted to look into that first, before causing damage. This fella was so upfront and honest from the start he insisted I call him before I made the hour drive there and let me know it's runs but really should get a proper once over by an experienced hand and that's exactly what is going to happen! Thinking I might start a thread in the engine section for it, it is a engine commonly found in old tractors! Lol
Here's a little mystery that needs solving... does anyone have any idea what this logo represents? The 2 bolts that hold the throttle control on the head are stamped with this, not sure if it's a M or a W but I don't recognize it and it's not often I see bolts with logos on it! The seller thinks the motor came off a snowblower, I can see that or possibly a log splitter and because of the English/French stickers on it, it was probably a machine made in Canada, I'm leaning on being built in Quebec because in 1978 bilingual badging this elaborate was most likely from that area. Food for thought fellas!
my grandparents gave us a refurbished mac for christmas and since im most responsable it went in my room also i accidentally put my truck in second instead of drive and usually the transmission slips a little when its cold but i guess the tires spun and my grandpa started laughting and thought i did it on purpose LOL it was fun getting sideways in a 93 chevy ext cab lol

Since I am a techie guy, Server Administrator by trade. It was a slow day with work, so I made me some custom icons for my personal computer for each of my tractors.
I thought I would share.

Man after the foot of snow we had a couple days ago my back and shoulders are done for. Been 2 days and they are still locked up tight. I had covid as well which was not fun. First day was meh, second day I couldn’t stand for more than two minutes without loosing balance and approaching the point of passing out. 3rd day mostly fine again and now I’m completely done with that whole spiel and gone forward.
But the snow and all has me so confused cause just a couple years ago I’d be out there doing it all by hand and feeling fine and now I did half of it and blew out every muscle in my top half. Funny how time goes that way.
Oh and the pictures look good MightyRaze! You’re clearly quite a bit better with this tech stuff than I am,

Ive been trying to avoid snow as much as possible. Been lucky so far that we havent gotten much of anything this year. My Deere 335 blew up last year, so I have no snowblower. My push snowblower hasnt been run or serviced in probably 4 years. I have a dozer plow for my Cub 1450, but the Cub needs serviced and the plow needs altered to fit it since its off an Allis B10.
ill have a job around the time of haspin and thats the only thing i go to and my grandpa loves haspin he had a blast last time and we might go to other parks this summer too. as soon as my 3 tractors are buttoned up or almost there and my school is caught up ill have to get a job
