Winterizing the Herd

[HeadExam 1,783]

I'll be taking out all the machines, driving them for a while, lubing the grease fittings, cleaning/replacing air/fuel filters, and changing oil. I also hope to install fuel shutoffs on the remainder without them and run as much gas out as possible and then adding liberal amounts of Seafoam and Marvel Mystery Oil to the fuel of those not used during the winter. It will be a time to wash and clean them, charge the batteries and work on a connected battery tender. These are high hopes for as many machines as I am speaking but even with school, I think I can swing it. The fun part will be driving them. I am als wanting to install a 18" buzz saw on the front of one machine to me able to cut logs in a holder of sorts, something I could  either move forward or backwards or raise or lower. I must watch out as I think Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) already has a helicopter flying over once in a while. For now I have a couple Bolens and a Wheel Horse out, tomorrow will bring more.

I got a few more garden tractors out for service/repair, still have 12 (14, don't tell the wife) in the barn and shop. Notice the Allis 416 with the 4 speed hydro or Shuttle Shift transmission. The last photo is of the 50 lb Allis wheel weights that came with the 400 series. These wheel weights are super hard to find, I have only seen one set in a picture. I put a coat of paint on them to install on the 416 hydro with the tiller, it needs the extra weight in back.
