Hey!! You got the old style gas cans... the EPA gonna ban you

 

The best of both worlds.

 

Do you hydraulic angle on the front blade? Nice setup

 

I'm hoping these last until I croak. If not I'll bite the bullet and order regular spouts, drill a hole in the back of the can and install a tire valvestem with the core taken out as an air bleeder for pouring.

My co-worker left one of those EPA cans full of gas at my house after using my tractor. I ended up taking the spout off and pouring it into the tank like that. Stupidest thing I've seen in some time.

 

I use these. No rubber for the gas to eat at & degrade.

 

Doing chores on my day off... shhh don’t tell the wifey

 

With 720 feet of twisting, sloping driveway, I think front mount would work best. Especially for my neck and back. Or I just keep doing what I’m doing. It’s worked so far.

Nice machine!

 

That 7’ blade I was going to try and buy is at a small dealer, he sells stuff out of his yard. I called him and offered him $100 less, he wouldn’t budge. I’ll check back next week and see if he still has it. I’d like to have it, but don’t need it.

 

They are extraordinarily stealthy oil burners. I think it’s what has killed most of them over the years.

Because people like pictures:

Repowered Ariens 724



The old Tec powered MTD and a smaller White unit



The blade on the 318 makes for a super handy fire tender!

 

My old Toro 724 never burned oil, but I checked it every time I started it, figuring I'd be safe. Had a big storm, ran it for like 3 hours straight, and it ate the rod. When I was taking it apart to replace the rod I drained the oil and it was practically bone dry. Got it running again (same piston, rings, valves, etc, just a new rod) and it ran great and didn't burn any oil, and I sold it a year later and it still didn't burn any oil.

I almost wonder if they don't cool themselves well enough for prolonged use, and there's a magic temperature threshold where they suddenly start guzzling oil.

 

Yes, I put an inexpensive 3rd function valve on it to operate the rams. I can drop the blade and have the loader on in 5 minutes.

 

Good choice in tractor and Ohio steel cart

 

That’s one of them plastic carts that I joe and I beat up and it keeps ticking

 

Have one still going strong after 5 years loaded to the max.

 

Only thing I wish it were bigger!! ;-)

 

Biggest pleated wood pecker Iv seen... actually 2 of these on this tree....anyone spot it? Thought it was a new species of a duck pecker.... cuz it looked like a wood duck hanging on the side of the tree!!

 

Snowblower, pool table in pieces, and old bikes is all I got in there now

 

Had a tree come down in a storm back in august... finally got around cutting and removing it off the trail... big hollow thing it was. Still had some weight to it. Dragged some of it cuz I was getting tired and I dulled the saw blade on “dirty” wood.

 

Did some burning
