Reply:My 1955 JD 40C (with an incorrect and very heavy #76 blade):
Reply:ttyR2, that thing is cool looking!  Is that it's "stock" look?Me!
Reply:I used my workboot (while on my foot) to clean the ice build up out of the back of my truck, does that count?
Reply:damn, and I thought I was doing good with an '01 Chev 2500 and a BOSS Power V!!
Reply:The crawler is stock, but the blade is incorrect. It's a #76 and was designed for a JD 1010 crawler. I'm hunting around for the correct #61 blade which is a heck of a lot lighter.
Reply:I've been using one of these for about the last 20 years.  It's called a SnoWonder, and is made in MN.  Don't have to lift the stuff anymore... just push it around and dump it.I have no fiduciary interest in the company.  http://www.snowscoop.com/index.htm Attached Images

Reply:I didn't even know how to use a snow shovel until I joined the army. If it were to snow here in New Orleans I wouldn't be going outside much less on the road with these idiots. I spent 3 1/2 years stationed at the only U S army post in the world with it's own ski lodge so I did get to learn how to use one. It did snow where I grew up in New Mexico but nobody owned snow shovels, county and state didn't even have plows, as it would be gone in a day or two.The difference between art and craft is the quality of the workmanship. I am an artist.
