Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Congrats on the Walker.
Years ago when my folks bought their first I talked to the commercial landscaper nextdoor to my shop. They told me that not only did they obviously change the engine oil, but the hyro drives, and final drives. So that's what we did. Our use puts it at a yearly service, so it ...

This year has been rough for the deer. Constant snow pack for lots of weeks. They've chewed the rhododendron from the ground up to about 4' up. It's apparently mildly toxic to them, but yea, when there's nothing else, they'll work with what they can get.

I've lost track of how many times the sway bars on the 8N have been turned in to pretzels like that... Typically it's just been a sledge hammer to put them right. This year I got a little smarter, and did it on the hydraulic press... Much safer, and quieter, plus a lot more control of the finished ...

Well, the foil has merit I imagine just reflecting the heat your feet are radiating. It works for an emergency blanket, why not for your feet... Gotta make sure you have room in your boots for extra layers though.

Honestly, just going to wool socks has been a significant improvement for me this ...

I've got an electric heater in my Gator cab. It does virtually nothing. It also requires an extra alternator, which fortunately the gator came with. Functionally it really only works as a defroster, or I can put my hands basically on it to thaw them out.

I would stay away from air/exhaust. A ...

I didn't get to any machining classes sadly, but I'd bet most folks in the US saw Southbends.

The 140 is a killer snowblower. It was better than the 444 in the majority of the snow conditions I get. It was a somewhat sad day when I sent it to it's new home. The more narrow discharge chute tended to throw a bit further, and I also prefer the chute rotation mechinism over the Case design. The ...

10-14" depending on where I measured. All powder, except perhaps it sleeted for 5 minutes to crust it. Got everything started, and warming. Wound up using everything. The 444 did my drive, mailbox area, and the place people park to get water. Switched to the JD300 loader, and cleared in front of the ...

The 8N fires right off. It was rebuilt at some point in the past, and really runs great. It's just the hydraulics, and rear that are rough. It's so thick it will struggle to keep running just letting the clutch out if the PTO is on.

The 444 engine isn't too bad, but then we don't see these temps ...

I guess we're around 10-11" now. All powder. Could be more, but certainly not less. Cleaned the porch and steps off once earlier. Might do it again around dark if the sleet hasn't made it up to me. If it's going to sleet, I'd rather it fall on snow.

Neighbor called me an hour ago to invite me down ...
