Hello, Neighbors! When I have time to daydream about the best way to blow snow, I have come-up with the following concept: Front-mount snowblowers are nice...but very expensive. Front-wheel assist tractors are nice...but also expensive. My idea is this...purchase an older four-wheel drive tractor, like a White 4-150, an IHC 2+2, or a Deere 8430, and either turn the cab around, or install a "flip-seat" and a second set of controls by the cab's rear window. This is commonly done in tractor-mounted back-hoes. This way, a farmer could have a heavy-duty, four-wheel-drive, "front" mounted snowblower without any expensive gearboxes or long drivelines. Also, it would have the benefit of the fan and radiator being well-behind the augers and fan (less likely to plug with snow). What are your thoughts? I'd kind of like to buy me an old 4-150 and tinker with it! (But...I gotta finish the IHC S-100 project first!) Have a great weekend! Merlin in Rushofrd, MN

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
