Winter is Over?

Today's project was taking the snowblower off the Kubota and putting the mower deck on. So it is official I am done blowing snow.
 Here is the tractor with the snowblower attached. There is still a little firewood in the rack on the right. A cold night or two will finish that off.
Step one is disconnecting the hydraulic lines and removing the pin from the quick detach. In all of two minutes the snowblower is off.

Quick attach removed and ready to install mower deck.

Deck is under the tractor and ready to be attached.

Tractor is up on blocks so I can slide under it and hook up the mid mount PTO shaft. This is always the worst part because the splines must be aligned exactly and there is only one correct combination. Today it went well and got hooked up on the third try. 

Final bit of work was taking the front wheel off and taking it to town to have the tire repaired. As soon as it is fixed we will be ready to cut some grass. 

As a side note, the prediction for tonight into tomorrow is for two to four inches of snow. 

Mother Nature you are a BITCH!!!

  1. Nice step-by-step pics of something we city dwellers wouldn't know about. OK, so what is the tank in the cage thingie? Also, how does the yard get mowed when you guys are down South? Need a house sitter? I know someone who would be thrilled to help.
