Local show coming up first weekend in August so I'm trying to get some stuff cleaned-up and ready for display. Once mounted on the WD I realized the need for a little weight on the front-end, and that completely empty! Had a pair of front wheel weights painted so on they go. Don't know how the paint got so beat up all they have done is sit in my basement. Used some of my home-made bolts to mount them.    |

Great looking set up and drill!! Have a drill just like it. I have used it probably 4-6 times now. Always seem to forget the correct way, in which the chain Zig Zags around the sprockets to hook up to the tractor wheel. Have busted a few chain links because of it, and always swear I am gonna take a pic of it the right way and leave it in the seed box of the drill LOL Oh well....

Don, I did the same thing with the chain! Then I found out that old flat chain is tough stuff! Need to find out if something is stuck or it was just improper routing that caused the problem. It will be fine for display at the show but I want to use this thing next spring on some waterways. |

Spent the weekend cleaning up and getting ready for the show. I would really like to take the 185 but don't have a trailer big enough to haul it and it's been having a bit of a fuel issue so roading it 30 miles one way is out. Hopefully get to do a little plowing with the wide-front, Have always used the narrow in the past. Took a pic of them all lined up for the power washer. First wash for the CA, and it needed it!   |

Nothing serious, just need to pull the tank and give it a good cleaning. Keeps clogging the sediment bowl. Of course the tank is near full! |
