Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Was out last nite at about supper time to clean up the driveway. Sorry, John Deere used again, but, no wind, about -8C. Well my feet and fingers were froze. I was hurting so bad I almost got off the tractor and ran for the garage. But was almost done so I finished it. I was in pain. Was only out 15 minutes or less.

Work on that cab Noel , You would be surprised how much of a difference it makes just retaining your own body heat .

Me too... actually never could! Born in the UK where temperatures hovered around 32 degrees at least that what there were when I was born - we followed the F scale back then and 32 degrees was freezing! England though suffered from a couple of inches of snow at best but winds and above all higher humidity that just tore right through you...know the feeling? Even WNY, where I now have lived for 30+ YEARS and the minus days we get, yeah still F does not even compare..

Well I was out again on the same tractor to finish up the snow clearing. Nice day. Didn’t get cold at all. And no heated seat on. Same out fit as yesterday. So I don’t know Spent about 45 minutes clearing the snow, taking my time and engine about 1/2 throttle. Hehe, full throttle and not taking my time yesterday.
Today -1C yesterday about -8C

Difference was the time of day/night . Us old guys get cold easier when tired later in the day . I know I am better earlier in the day as opposed to evening .

It was around 5:30 ish on Saturday when I was froze. And Sunday it was between 3:00 and 4:00. So a little difference there.

Eskimo diet ? More fat is also an important part of the Carnivore diet.
