What the heck is up with the snow?
Q
Comments (9)
Yes,I saw the snowstorm in Calgary on the news and it must have been a terrible sight for all the gardeners out there. But now it's 20C degrees, so it will be gone in a jiffy. In Montreal, it's cold and wet this weekend, but it's supposed to be warm and sunny from Wednesday on. All that dirty snow in the backyard should be gone by Friday (I hope), except that it will then be much too soggy to dig. So I'll have to soak my roses (arriving Thursday or Friday!) for a few days until it dries up a little. Don't worry Lianne, and all you fellow northerners, spring will come. Maybe we will be rewarded after such a long winter - with a perfect summer. By June or July, surrounded by beautiful, fragrant roses, all this anxiety we are experiencing will be a distant memory...

Craftsman Snow Blower froze up
Q

Johnboy, Do you own any tools? If so, let's hope that one of those tools is a sparkplug socket. Turn the gas off at the tank and make sure that the switch used to stop the engine is in the STOP position. Remove the wire going to the sparkplug and then remove the plug. Now.... try your recoil and see if it turns over. If it does, then spin the engine over with the electric start for 30 seconds and that should blow the excess fuel out of the cylinder. Sometimes, engines will flood so badly that they will lock up due to the amount of liquid fuel in the combustion chamber. If that isn't the problem, then removing the entire pull start mechanism is often as easy as removing four small bolts that are easy to access. Once the recoil starter is removed, you can see if you have a rope problem or not. If not, then the flywheel will be exposed and you can try to move the flywheel with the right size socket on a ratchet with an extension. Try turning it both ways. If it doesn't move, then it would appear that you do have a serious problem. I take it that you have made sure that everything is disengaged and in neutral???????????

JD420 power steering hook-up
Q
Comments (2)
Butch, I'm no JD expert but I'm willing to guess that the 420 has hydraulic lift for the mower deck and auxilliary hydraulic circuits also. If so, then it will be equipped with a hydraulic pump to look after all these things, including the power steering. The hydrostatic pump will be used exclusively to drive the tractor in forward and reverse and has nothing to do with the other hydraulic circuits. In order to put power steering on your Massey, you will have to add a pump. The easiest way to do this would be to install a belt driven pump from a car. Connecting it all up isn't very difficult. The hydrostatic control module that you will be fitting your steering wheel to, should have four connections on the bottom of it. One connection goes to the pressure side of the power steering pump and the other one to the return side. The other two lines go to the steering cylinder. If the tractor turns left when you turn the wheel right, just switch the two steering cylinder lines at the control module. BTW, what did all of that cost you?

Daffys are up and snow is coming!
Q
Comments (5)
I'm about thirty minutes north of Yardley and a couple of miles inland, it must be warmer down there by the Delaware. My daffs are up, but only a few inches. Not only is it going to be a big storm, it's going to be cold! Unless I mis-read it, in the teens early Sunday morning? Yikes. I'm ready for a big snow storm, though, seems like it's time.

It's 12 degrees right now in beautiful northern Larimore, ND. It feels very damp; we have just a covering of snow. It's so thin some of the grass and leaves are still showing through.

I got up to check the outside temps, poured myself a cup of tea, brushed my teeth, looked at a couple of patterns, re-heated a tea (oh the travesty!) came back to the computer, realized I'd forgotten to look at the thermometer, got up again, read it, made the bed, and now I'm back at the computer.

Oh yes; it's going to be one of those days!

DD wrote that when she got off work at 3 pm yesterday, Southern Oregon was beautifully covered with snow. It is in the upper 70's here in AZ and lightly stirring breeze. Beautiful photo's!

We have snow too. It really is pretty! But I have to go into town today so I wish it would melt.

I've always wondered why the lyrics to the song "Over the River And Through the Woods" spoke about the horse and sleigh knowing the way to Grandma's house. We've never had that much snow at Thanksgiving in my area of Ohio. I wish we would just once in my lifetime. Only, I suppose most people would be peeved that they couldn't get to their family dinners withOUT a sleigh.

No snow here yet.

Kat, I think it's awesome!

I love looking at evergreen trees all covered in snow. If that is your view out side your windows..you are lucky!

Where I live, there's no pretty view like that even when it snows. At least..out my back windows where I am most of the time. All I see is garage roofs and cable wires. lol

Enjoy!

Beautiful, kat! My sister lives in Olympia and had told me they were due for flurries. I'll talk to her later to see if she got more than a flurry.
