I moved some wood up to the house, too deep for Wheelhorse and B would not quite fire so I got out the WC, started on second pull. 20 degF on the garage thermometer.

It wears Firestone 1950s 13 x 24s if I remember right. Like in second column of the link below, a handy size guide someone showed me years back. http://www.millertire.com/ - http://www.millertire.com/ The B weights came on the tractor, I finally got em painted late last year. Yes, my truck parks outside and is a little worse for wear as a result.. Wife's van gets in the house garage tho. |

| One thing I noticed is you don't need much parking brake on the WC, grease in the rear is so thick she don't move easy at those temps. |

Rick,
I'm just up the road a piece in Franklin. We got 5 or 6 inches today. That is a far cry from what they were predicting on channel 6 and 13!!!! How did you fare in Hope?

| total here was about about 10. We still had about 2 left from the snows before in the shady spots. They had less North and South of here. We had missed the brunt of several earlier snowfalls. |
