Snow Blower @?*%@!&^

[FlaCowboy]

Do you know the strangest place I saw snowplows, Cowboy.?

Well...if it was in Florida...we call them thangs "Graders" not snow plows...

 

[GA_Boater]

Oh no, not a grader, it was a Meyers snowplow plowing sand off the street along the beach after a storm in Ft. Lauderdale.

Had to be a "Snow Bird" driving it...:laugh:

So how much acreage do you have?

My Parcel is 50 acres, the road I plow is 2 miles and I have access to 55,000 acres, my land is surrounded by a couple of neighbors on three sides that is over 200 acres and my 4th property line is butted up against 50,000 acres of private timber land, so I have LOTS of room to play!

I decide years ago I would never live in a place that I had to go inside the house to P or could not have a rifle and pistol range. My home is smack dab in the center of a 26 acre wooded plot with about 5 other similiar lots on two sides and about 500 acres of private woodlands on the other 2 which my neighbor and I hunt. My wife is starting to think about what would happen if something would happen to me in the winter how a ambulance could get up the last 1/2 mile of gravel road if the snow wasn't cleared. I just told her set me outside in one of the sheds and I won't spoil before the road is plowed for the hearse to get there.

I believe my wife and yours would become good friends, because I know exactly what you are saying!

:joyous:

Sorry that I'm late to the thread . . .

My guess would be the exhaust filed the engine with water and then some. There is the snowblower forum, not sure how many of us hang out over there, but I do see a few familiar names over there

 

[Scott Danforth]

I am going to agree that the motor was filled thru the exhaust as well. the carb and carb heat box sit too low.

A snowblower is no different than a lawn mower you wouldn't leave the lawnmower out in the rain. I started the snowblower the other day for the first time since last winter and it started right up just like it has for the last 4 years. Seafoam in every time gas is added never have a problem.

^^^^^ I see plenty of new lawnmowers sitting out in the rain at retailers........

I like the way you think ... My ideal place would be similar to yours ... And tell your wife not to worry about the ambulance ... Where there is a will, there is a way. We get into the strangest places, and have 4WD ... And access to plows if needed ...

I have a 1975 Bolens that has spent the last 8 or 9 years outside. Starts up and runs in any weather like the Mailman.

Have two of those, one with a Wisconsin 8 hp and one with a 12 hp and you can't kill them. Rotatiller, mower, pulling a cart in the woods. Over 40 years old and still ticking.

I too have left lawnmowers and snow blowers outside for extended periods of time, although mostly with some sort of covering, such as a plastic bag, etc. I mostly worry about the ignition crapping out from weather exposure. But, if you end up with water in the cylinder, it is a pretty easy guess as to where it came from.

The weather forecast for my area is for snow tonight and into Tuesday, even though it was 70 F a couple of days ago I did an engine upgrade in my old Toro at the end of last year and also an impeller modification on my new Troy-Bilt machine. I am looking forward to trying them out :thumb:

I like the way dwco5051 thinks too. We have 20 acres and can't see the neighbors or the road. So I too don't have to "go inside the house".....:laugh:

Ambulance? I hope nothing serious happens to us or we'll probably die..... I'd rather take my chances and have the wife hightail it 25 miles to the doctor. All we have are EMTs, not that we don't appreciate them, but all they can do is give out an aspirin and use the defib. No access to snow plow equipment unless a town guy can get to a plow. And we're charged $500 if the ambulance or a fire truck shows up. Say what? I thought I paid taxes! Anyway........

 

[GA_Boater]

PEDs and snowblowers. Is this what some might consider a hijack? LOL

Don't forget that the guy said he lied, which makes it even worse because the headline said :"Manning took HGH", not "A guy lied about Manning taking HTH"

Well how did that work for the OP, I see plenty of stuff I wouldn't emulate at the boat ramp.
