    thats the trouble with snow if the ground is frozen all the moisture gets blown away or runoff in streams and rivers it don't get into the ground. Need good spring rains. We haven't had enough of those for a few years

    There is a front mounted belt connected to the front pto. That 36" thrower and the tractor are 1970 vintage Int'l. Harvester!

    I just can't help but enjoy old equipment!

    Yeah,when I saw the pictures I was going to say something about your garden tractor.That is one like they don't "build them like that anymore"!!. Bet it has the good Kohler cast iron engine on it.Peddle hydro drive?? Tough to core. Cast iron front drive case on the s/blower too. Today's money you would be spending big,big,money to equal that. Very cool!!.

    That tractor is a gear drive, 3 forward + 1 reverse with a creeper drive added in for some seriously slow forward motion. And yes, it still has it's Kohler motor.

    A buddy sent this pic over to me with the caption, "the more it changes, the more it stays the same!"

    Yep! All those little pullers get the transaxle from the early Cub Cadets 'cause they're just about bulletproof!

    Finally got out to the shop and was greeted with these.. The top of one tree did land on the power line to the shop. Didn't break it but pulled it down to 6 foot from ground.

    Did you have some high winds along with the snow? Those are some pretty substantial fir/pine/evergreens.
