Well??? I've got the 5-16's 565 Oliver hooked to the 856 ready to plow, then the weather went in the tank! Wednesday, maybe? Probably strike out the land with the 45. Doing this as a weed control test.
Worked on the CA some more yesterday, feel good about the progress so far. I wasn't going to video this as I'm not a good electrician but Little Bent Wrench, from YouTube, thought I should. We'll see. Made a new battery cable for it, the long one. It could use a new ground too but not sure if I have the stuff to make one.

Replace batteries in my 180 diesel. Hooked it up to a Ford 22-125 flail mower. Picked up the mower at an auction. Just need to adjust the 3 point and try it out.

Started re-wiring CA-2 yesterday. I'm glad they are simple cause it's a mess! Parts of it are original and really worn. Other parts have been farmerized something terrible.
I really hope the weather improves soon, tired of being bottled up in the shop.

  Just playing around and trying to figure out how to post pictures. Used the 8010 and brandt bale processor to feed the cows tonight. Same as every winter night for the last 20ish years. It has maybe missed a week total in that time.

Put the chains on the WD snow tractor for the first time in 10 years, as we have had a lot more snow than usual. Just had freezing rain and more snow on the way so I'd better be ready!

I would just bypass the safety switch to see if would start, before replacing it.

Last time I ran the 200 with the snowblower it seemed to have trouble maintaining RPMs so today I changed the fuel and water separator filters. I had the block heater plugged in and while the filters were being changed I witnessed the the plug short and turn to smoke. Took the cord from 7060 as it won't need it for a while and made the 200 operational again. Had also been having trouble with the starting circuit. Bypassing the key, starter button and nuetral safety switch, it starts fine. So beginning with changing the nuetral safety switch to see if that solves it

 Moved some wood to house. We have lots of snow here but it is going down today. Mild day. Ground is still soft so it is melting from the ground up. š

I got the CA ready for it's 70th winter. That included putting on the tire chains, a weight box on the back, and replacing the manure bucket with the snow bucket. It was made years ago by welding 2 Bobcat buckets together and then fabricating brackets to properly fit it on the Freeman loader.

Pulled the starter of sadness out of D-17-3. Changed the cable running to it, the lug twisted a bit taking the nut off. Back together, hit the key, click. Long story short, starter is headed to the repair shop. Going to shoot a video of it this week, it's in pretty sorry shape but should be rebuildable. Probably borrow the one in D-17-1 in the short term.

Did one of the least favorite jobs of the early winter. Put the tire chains on the D17 this morning. Tried twice to get by without doing it but not enough traction on the uphill part of the driveway.

No snow in Va just cold with the wind blowing. Fed a round bale with the 6060, really like the intake heater we installed last year. In 30 seconds she is running, let her warm up for a bit before proceeding to feed. Block heater on a timer works very well but Iām not always on the same schedule lol. Will use the block heater when it really gets cold. Easier on the engine for sure.

I put the D-17IV to work blowing the 10 to 12 inchs of snow that we got Friday night to this morning (why did I sell my 8030) she handle the 8ft blower better than I thought she would. On a side note the ground still wasn't frozen under the snow, I know I'm going to have to repair some lawn come spring.

Got the 720 ready for today's snow removal detail. Should be interesting, wasn't too windy as it was falling but roared all night. Might be some big drifts out there?
Started pulling the shifter off the NF 45, small oil leak, hoping I'm going in the right direction. It shifts great so no repairs to do there.

Our B found its way to the chicken house. It will be getting new drain valves and rebuit Tstat housing with a new gauge. The 200 is now wearing the snowblower and may have to move that "pretty" from the drive tomorrow
That first snowfall of the season was a doozy. 8Ā½ and counting

I thought that was officially called PRETTY. Shamelees gone but never forgotten.

Took care of cows, played fetch with the dog spent the day disking corn stalks and oat stubble with the wd 45 and the offset disk. Then took care of the cows again fed the dog and am having a bowl of cereal for dinner. Opened the mail and found out the co op will no longer be picking up my milk in 2026. Guess i got some decisions to make.
