Where is everyone #5

Yes Sir, they definitely didn’t have ride and comfort in mind with that setup lol. Worst setup I had experience with was the T-4 Ingersoll Rand drill rig on a CCC chassis, walking beam mounted straight to the frame, no springs. It was like my rigid Shovelhead Motorcycle, only suspension was on the front lol.

 

Found my mystery oil leak on snow blower. Engine is not leaking, that is why I couldn't find a leak with it running in the shop. Not to worry Its dumping out the breather when its under a load lol. I really need a new belt to. Just haven't decided if I wanna invest anymore in her.

 

Here is what I could get off the CAT SIS system on that particular serial number.

Engine Serial Number - 4MG36166 (Build Date - 25/08/1988, Test Date - 25/08/1988, Ship Date - 11/10/1988)

231 BRAKE KW (310 BHP) AT 1800 RPM. VOLVO WHITE

 

So let me explain myself

1. I will not be the guy buying a new snow blower from Slowe's the day after storm. Settling for over priced junk.

2. I paid 150.00 for this slightly used, 8 years ago. How dare It fail. They don't make them like they used to.

3. Tractor with a blower is at other shop. Still haven't taken mower off, but inside. Ma says there is a 7 footish drift in front of shop.

4. Frontend load that normally at the yard, is out on a job.

I'm gonna have another coffee. Good luck gents. Thinking it will be much simpler to just get busy with the Chinese back hoe. It has not let me down yet!

 

My Grandfather did it the same way with water, plus he never drank while he ate, he always waited until after he was finished. I was really young at the time but I remember him saying it was bad for you to drink while you were eating but I never knew why he thought that, still don't.

He was Native American so maybe it had something to do with the old way of thinking.

 

Well, I'm 70 and I have news for my prostate. Deal with it.

 

Plow guy was...ya know.... plowing....

Van decided to come up behind him and what does plow guy do? Backs right up into Cascadia headlight...

Now the lot isn’t being cleaned! God ######!

 

Patiently waiting to see if PA will open I80... if not gonna head to Carlisle via toll road...

 

I’d pass on the “More Body Damage” approach Mr. James! Sit and have another Coffee maybe a better option will present itself!

 

Bout 5 hours so I'm gonna wait it out. This is a real good fella needing this bean meal, if I get it loaded at 4am Monday he could still have it by 10 or so. I hate to see critters go hungry lol. So I'm camped at Harrisonville
