Have a couple of days of rain on and off here . After that it will probably snow because I am going to pull the blower of Frankie . Well at least if it does I can try out the new caster build in some fresh stuff.

Well hopefully that’s it for snow this spring. I was stuck quite a few times. But got the job done. Wet and heavy. Once you spin, that’s it. Just like ice. Thrower worked good. Never plugged up, even at the road where the Plow pushed snow in. Worked good, other than having to throw the snow many times to get some of it into the woods. You can see in the pictures the snow throwen to the right of the tractor. One spot I can’t do because of a slight hill beside the garage. Keeps sliding toward garage. And if I get in to far I’d never be able to back out. May take out something else to do that.

Those are nice pictures! I'm glad the tractor worked well! feel like I didn't get enough tractor time this winter, throwing snow, but on the other hand I'm also looking forward to Spring.

Thanks Eugen. Ya it’s time for warm weather tractor stuff.
So the side of the garage that I can’t do with the 446 because of sliding, got done by the 224. It had no trouble going in and out of there. No sliding.
224 had not been going in about 2 months or so. Worked great. Only thing with it is it takes a lot of winding to get it going. So have to prime it. If you run it every other day it’s ok. But leave it for a couple of weeks it won’t start with out priming. Fuel in carb bowl must evaporate. Works great once going.

Same problem with my 224, on which the blower is

I kicked it and still didn't start. Got me upset, but no time to deal with it, so just cleared the snow with the walk behind

Noel, I don't think that bank down the side of your driveway will be melted by next winter.

It'll be a nice cool place to sit by and keep the refreshments cold on a warm day.

Hehe. This fella I chat with a little has got a much larger bank than I. He is in Quebec. And this picture is March 28/22.
Hehe. I said to him. That wont be gone until next winter when the snow starts again.
He said, hopefully I can cut the grass just once this summer. Hehe.

@Propane57 Just think of the money you could make in the summer selling Organic snow cones .
