Duane, does it have cab? That was my first question to the guys up north. He also rigged up a cherry picker to it to lift engines and other heavy stuff. The nice thing about an old combine is that they are built to have a fairly heavy load on the front and have a hydraulic lift.

Duane, I'm still laughing at the mental picture of you not discribing the tonado, but making combine noises and explaining how you built the snow pusher.

lol, I would too!! Well it looks like I won't be going out tonight, it was too cold to make "good" snow so it was just that fluffy stuff that blows away so no need to push it around, bummer.

That Rollie guy must live in a small town, something like Alma, where there ain't enough to do. Rollie, you still didn't say whether you had the town dog or not.
