You needed a hydrostatic tranny in that truck

Well.... with a cracked frame... it is no longer allowed to push snow.

I am hoping that this summer that maybe kid #3 could take our SIX derelict trucks and give me one reliable plow truck... but I will then be stuck with a little fixed blade plow... I can't imagine he would be able to cobble together a truck hefty enough to carry our huge fancy V plow.

I am thinking with a fixed blade plow I will have to plow more frequently than I did with the V plow... but it could be done "comfy" unlike with the bobcat.

Note I said "needed", past tense

Tired, worn out. Blah.

Whine, while, whine.

It is now clear that the money for the bobcat... was... I guesswell spent. But I ALSO need a plow truck.


Sigh.

It will have to wait for the summer.

You won't need a plow truck in June

Maybe not, but he will be able to find all the others and get they scavenged to get enough parts to get a cobbled together one maybe ready for snow again in the fall....

That!

Yep!

Can't even see all of our junk vehicles at present.

Mechanical kid (kid #3) though... is thinking of going fishing this summer.


I can do basic stuff... but making 6 derelict trucks into one functional truck, is probably beyond me. However, kid #3 is thinking of taking a short season... so we should be able to get it in.

I just have to make sure I stay on top of it... time management. Not my forte.

Hoping for the best Al! Maybe kid #3 will get 'er done before fishing season starts?

Depends on how fast we thaw.

So what you are saying is that you would like winter cold to stick around until July?
