I moved from Springfield, VT last Nov, left the day after Thanksgiving . . . I was born there . . . good place to be from I guess, as good as anyplace!:sidelaugh

I like it out here in the warm sun!

:goodl:

I am going to take your question literaly just cause I feel like it :P

Winter is when all the leaves have fallen off the trees and gone dorment. Winter is when the ground freezes and the surrounding temperature makes you want to run inside for a cup of hot coco. And of course winter is when snow falls and ice develops on the roads. You know its winter when somebody slid off into a ditch because of the ice. Thats winter my friend and winter is what northern states are all about.

Hope I answered your question in the way it was recieved ;)

Yeah, Thanks for the reminder!:ROF

My body went through some weird change about 2 - 3 years ago, I'm 42 and cold under 75 degrees, use to use about 700 gals to keep my 12 sq ft house warm in VT . . . The last winter I was there I burned 400 gals oil, and 12 cords of wood! Trying to stay warm! (yeah, I've had my throid checked) 80 is nice . . .

I USED to like snow . . . if it could only be warm and have snow too!

Termy, I noticed (If I remember right) that in your 1st video on changing the oil part, you said to put the cap back on the drain, but didn't mention closing the valve . . . maybe my hearing is going now too . . .

:goodl:

Thats funny your obsessed with snow but can't have it ah ha haha ahhh ahahahahaha.

Well, actually I did say about closing the valve. If I remember my words correctly I said and I quote. When your done draining your oil, push the valve in and turn it to your right to lock it in. Then remove the drain tube and replace the yellow cap. Go ahead and re watch it and let me know if I am right, pretty sure I am though since I edited it LMAO

Anyway, thanks for your comment...Peace :)

ROFLMAO, omg I just broke the sound barrior on that one. Can't believe I did not shatter the glass I spilled of liquid with the laughter. Oh dear, I have made quite the mess. Come here kitty, don't worry, this cat will lick up any kind of mess.

Sure was a lot of work I tell yeah. Well, it takes double the time to winterize a tractor when you have to take time in changing positions with the camera, lighting, tractor, everything comes into play there. So I ended up working 6 hours on the actuall job. And then it took me more hours to edit the video down and everything so yes, lets hope my vids will help somebody out there not only save money but get over the fear on getting their hands dirty with a engine without breaking it. ;)

Thanks for your comment! Peace :)

I just checked my 2nd video and its still going past 2:42, that tells me its a problem on your side, probably in your browser cash cookies etc. I highly suggest you go into your browser history/privacy options and empty your cash and cookies temporary internet files, all of that. Then close your browser and re-open it and go back to my part 2 video and see what happens.

Let me know how it goes :)

Yeah! Don't you still have to cut grass and bush hog weeds in December and January like we do?

I don't think them Military guys know a lot about road construction? Where is their road grader?

I can tell which ones are officers and the one that is the SGT. and the only working PVT. in the picture

This photo was from WWII...Road graders were not a readily available unit in forward combat areas...in this case, they were building a corduroy road...

Well . . . actually in post #6 I said "USED to like"

I relistened to it, and this time I heard ". . .close the valve . . ." though I'm not sure when you edited it . . .:thanku:

Ayup, weeds grow year round here . . . just slow down when it doesn't rain much . . . our last "rain" was Oct 5 and we got a whole 0.05" before that we got 0.02" on Sept 26! So I don't worry about mowing alot this time of the year . . . but the tractor like to go out for a spell anyways . . . maybe today . . . it is only gonna be 75 . . . and sunny . . . same as yesterday . . . and tomorrow . . .

FYI, when I said edit, I was talking about when I made the video in the first place, I have not messed with the vid since. In other words the information was always there. What I did forget to do I noticed was up the voice volume for that particular segment so its kind of hard to hear, oops. Oh well, I aint going to mess with it, the video is done, good enough.

Well, most people say that too you know, they be like I love the snow, and then their family member slides into a ditch bending the steering columb and breaking the front bumber off and denting the side body and then their outlook on snow completely changes, even if its the ice and not the snow lol.

[scrodamoon]

thats why you always have a winter beater car in stock.
