Takin' the truck out in the snow

Awesome pictures. And awesome truck.
I like snow but im glad you have it and not me! i think we had the warmest and dryest winter in a long time this year. Hopefully its not replaced by August rain or they might have to cancel speed week again..
What kind of snowblower you using to move all that snow, looks like its been a full time job...

The snowblower is a Snapper brand. 9hp Tecumseh Snow King engine. 26" cutting width. That Snow King engine is a real work horse. Even though it has electric start I never need to use it cause it starts by hand every time quicker than messing with an extension cord to a power outlet.
I bought that rig in 1998 and at the time I was impressed with every thing about it except the fact it had a PLASTIC blower chute. I figured that thing would shatter or crack after a few years. Well...........it just happened two weeks ago. It cracked because the plastic got so thin in the area right about the impeller after 17 years of regular use and getting struck with rocks and ice. The new chute was available online and was $48 including shipping. It should arrive in a few days and should be easy to replace. I'll be glad when the new chute is on there because the snow makes a rooster tail out of the crack and blows in my face instead. I've had to use ski goggles the last couple of storms.
It was -20 F this morning. Absolutely the coldest morning here in 21 years. I took this picture after it got light outside and warmed up to a balmy -18.
Global warming my ****!!
What a winter this has been.
