Don't tempt fate.... Last weekend we got about 6-8 inches, then overnight another 12 inches, and they are promising another 4 inches yet today. Most snow we have had for quite a while. I blew a path to the shop and around the door with the little blower. The 170 is not here, so am using a Kubota L 3430 with loader, and a 8' blade to clear the snow. Took a good 3 hours to get the driveway clear, and get to the shop and around the house. I do appreciate the cab and heat while plowing. Video at

Trying to help everyone melt that darn O'h white junk,some call pretty. We cranked O Sol up and got 86 yesterday new high for the day. Since it ant raining and I got to feed cows yet sure is nice to be cold doing it.
But jet stream is north, the excuse the guesser uses why no rain. So I guess my warm is going south of O'l Joe even. I would trade 20 degrees of warm for 2 inches of frozen water today. The ground is warm and would turn pretty into wet real fast.

Neat video. Looks like it's working well.
Sure wish Shameless would send us some "purty"...haven't had any real good moisture on the wheat since October...and that was only about 1/2".

I think Shameless has found out that his machine has "limits", you might be out of luck.

I'm thinking so, too!
Shameless, do I need to come hook the 8N up to that thing so it'll have some REAL power behind it? You know...the power that purrrs when the going gets tough? Lol (That should be incentive to get the machine pointed at me, right Ben? Lol)

ROFL..... Oh yeah, shameless would have that machine pointed at you lickety split... Of course he might let it burn up that ford as a favor to ya' before he turns it around and does a few "mods" to give it a little more 'throw' (or whatever the PROPER terminology is for one of those gozmo-gadgets....) lol....

Well, it hasn't snowed so I don't have a 3rd person vid up... but, I am at school (of course), so I can't look at my B manual.... But I haven't forgotten that I was going to do that.... I'll get to it one of these days, hopefully.

I did finally remember to look at my manual, and no I can not see any signs of the fuel line on the outside of the air cleaner, so I am guessing that it is supposed to go around the back?? I didn't find any wonderful pictures of it though, so who knows?

Yes, it is supposed to be routed behind the air cleaner. I don't have a photo handy, but could try to get one when I'm home. May be a week or so though.

Yep! Mine was on the outside when I bought it, I never thought that it should have been on the inside! It makes sense though.
Thanks for the pic ac45dave....I think that the "c" is exactly the same as a "B" up front except for the tricycle front, but I could be wrong. Either way, I assume that it should be the same on my "B"....

Also, she (my tractor) is riding high on a set of chains now.  Night and day difference! Yesterday morning we had a 2.5 ft (or more) drift of nasty wet snow, and she moved a full 6 ft blade width on the first try, no spinning or nothin! I'm grinning now!!!  You can only go in second gear though.... otherwise you get a whopper of a massage,,,,,kinda,,,,it is the kind that doesnn't feel so wonderful.

Thanks, Ben! If you'll notice, there are 2 different oranges...the orange on the air cleaner is what I would consider PO1. The carb was repainted with Agco PO1.

On my D15 the line is outside of the air line into the carb. Looks like it would have originally been inside as well. Have to look into changing that.

well...if'n you was down south, the line outside the air breather wouldn't vapor lock as bad, and if'n you was up north, the line behind the air cleaner would help warm the fuel.
