Well, like it or not, winter will be here before we know it.
So now I'm trying to figure out what to "roll" in the shop, and have for my winter project. There's a couple things that are on my "want to do" list. Not in any particular order.
682, the local tractor I picked up. Needs an engine transplant, and good once over. Will be NO major painting needed. Just a little on the rear end.
Got a chance to pick up my folks old model 76 Cadet that I cut lawn with as a youngster. I just so happen to have an extra one in the cub barn, with a very low hour short block.
My uncle offered me two things. He's got a late 60's early 70 Ski-Doo snowmobile. It was run twice after he bought it new. Hit a railroad track with it, bent the ski, and steering, had it fixed, then parked it. It's "mint", but hasn't run in like 49 years.
He also has a Ferguson, tractor, that's been sitting all of 20 years. Would like to get it mechanically operational, and if he don't want to use it, Nancy can use it for bush hogginf, or ?
And then, there's the Chevelle. Some things I'd like to change. One thing would be to remove the dash, and install a different one, without the added PO mods that were done. Remove the doors, and replace the window channels, as these are cracked. Some other small things...
OR, take the winter off, and just plow snow, and [email protected]#k the dog the rest of the time. But with Nancy officially retired now, and if we spent the whole day together, someone would end up in a hospital, or prison.
So I guess I need a winter project.
The sled looks like this one. Forget the model, but I remember it is a one lunger.
