Been a long time since I logged in. Haven't done much lately and no longer have a tractor or property to use it on. Just bought a house in Bangor, Michigan which is not far from where we lived prior to moving to Florida in 2020. Getting too old and can't hardly breathe during the continual hot Fla. summers so the decision was made to return to a cooler climate. I have 1.8 acres at the new place and look forward to gardening once again. Will be putting in a pole barn probably next year. Will spend the summer there and when we return to Fla. in the fall, will sell Fla. property and return full time to Mi.
Hope everyone is going well and prospering and building stuff. I need a couple projects to work on to keep my feeble brain working a little. Stan in Lake Placid, Florida.
You might make me do it, but you can't make me like it.

Thanks Bunkie. Thanks Sonny. I have some photos of a Loftness 60" tow stage snow blower that I adapted to a John Deere F1145 front mount Mower somewhere around here. I would flat throw the snow and I used to go over to the next door neighbors and clean out the sides of his driveway where he couldn't plow it any farther. It laughed at snow. Posi trac, 4wd and 36 gross HP Yanmar made the difference.

I have a 2-stage black blower,--says Simplicity Mfg. on it and I would like to rig a motor to it and a quick tach plate to fit my mini skid loader. I like your ideas!!
