Took advantage of the warm weather to get ready for the cold weather.
I serviced the blower, hitting all the grease points, lubing the chain, chaining the gear box oil oil, flipping the wear edge, and finally mounting it to the tractor. I also got my LED lights mounted better. I cut some pieces of an old metal shelf upright and use some 1/4" bolts to sandwich the rops with a piece of non-slip padding in between.
I've been using these Aux Beam lights, seem to work great, and are pretty inexpensive. I have two pointed forward and two back. I might upgrade the forward looking lights from the 4" to the 7" version for a little more light. Or perhaps add a third forward pointing lights in the middle.
To top it off, I installed a new LED flood light on top of the shed, and also installed a new wall plug in series with the light, specifically for the block heater. I have a wireless controller for outside shed light, so now, when I turn on the lights, I'll also turn on the block heater. I have a wireless plug controller, but if its just running the block heater, I have no way of knowing whether or not it actually came on when I hit the button, now, I'll see the lights!
Let is snow, Let is snow, Let is snow!
