Nice day today, so I took the 37A snowblower & cab off the 74-112. Cleaned them up & put them in storage for the summer. Then switched the Carlisle "All Trails" from the 112 back to the 317 "Special".

Also got the 71-110 out from winter storage (started right off for setting all winter). Hooked onto the #10 cart, so the wife could clean some flower beds. ~~ grnspot

WOW.....

MATCHING 110 mower and trailer. I see precious few 110's anymore.....but a trailer?

I'd love a tour of your barn......:laughing:

Looking good grnspot. Love your collection.

Thanks for posting the pictures. In the South, you don't see those cab attachments.

Not too many cabs around here either! As far as I'm concerned, they are a must for snowblowing! ~~ grnspot

That grey utility is nice.

Thanks! The 317 "Special" is my parade unit. Started out as a "rolling chassis" I bought at an auction for $40. Stretched the frame, added an 18 HP Kohler Command from a salvaged Miller welder, then added as I went along. ~~ grnspot

Is there some way to pipe the hot engine air (from the cooling system) into the cab without the danger of exhaust coming in, too? I've always wanted to rig up a system like that. Did you do something like that with your 110?

I really don't need it, just wear insulated overalls (Carhart). Some have made heat catchers for them though. ~~ grnspot

You must have a chassis shop at home! :laughing: Do you do this kinda stuff on the side for profit? You should!

Just a small (14' x 24') woodworking shop, or at least it used to be! :biggrin: I'm retired & this keeps me busy through the winter months. This year I restored the two JD carts & a 3-pt Brinly disk, sleeve hitch Brinly cultivator, Brinly plow just got a paint job only, along with some non-tractor related projects. ~~ grnspot

I retired at 55, after 29 years as a paid firefighter, just over 5 years ago. I can always find something to do (if I want to :biggrin: ).

I've been replacing the rail fence around a flower bed today. The old posts & rails had rotted. Used the 790 to pull what was left of the old posts. The 74-112 to take the #10 cart out with tools. And the L/60 "Custom" to tow the generator to the 'work site'.

Used treated posts & dead Red Elm rails, pinned in place with 1/2" galvanized conduit pins. The rails were cut at the farm, old ones lasted around 20 years. ~~ grnspot
