it's alive...It's Alive.....IT'S ALIVE!!!!!
Thanks to the help I received from this forum, my winter project it up and running. I picked up an old Trail Boss 250 for a couple hundred bucks. After decades of neglect, it was in need of a little TLC. I spent a couple of weekends and another hundred bucks and brought her back to life.
My plan when I bought it was to throw a plow on it and use it to push some snow. My dad had and old Craftsman tractor plow that has been leaning against his garage for the last 15 years. I "borrowed" the plow, soaked it in a little Aero Kroil and soon had it moving free. I used part of his tractor bracket and fab'ed up a mount for my machine, bought and installed a winch to lift it and I was ready to rock............all I needed was a little snow.
We got it this weekend and what a blast. It ran and plowed great!
Thank you for all of the advise and suggestions.
