Johnny saves the day | It was new years eve 1998 and we were expecting a major snowstorm. the snow began to kick in heavy around 2pm and within hours my 680ft driveway was filled with snow. I went out to plow with my truck and made one pass. . . and gulp the reverse in the transmision failed. the year before a similar storm had hospitalized me from a heart condition. so now I was afraid. the snow really began coming down and so I had to try something. I fired up my JD 140 h1 that a freind had given me as a restoration project the year before. it was the only snowblower I owned. the old Kohler engine came to life and I began my long plowing attempt. the old Deeres blower tore through the 28 inch drifts easily in a middle range to my horror the entire driveway which goes through an open field was the same. . . . drifted over. the tracter nudged its way through and out into the highway. for 6 hours me and that old machine fought that blizzard and we whipped it. by morning I drove the tractor out again to spruce up. I was overjoyed!! my drive was well under control but the county road was 36 inches deep in snow!!(from drifting) that old girl has went from project now to PRIMARY snow removal tool its never failed me. P. S. I sold the Dodge!! tom montie, MI, entered 2000-05-15 My Email Address: Not Displayed |
