Snow Dozing

You mean you have copper line now, or thinking of replacing it? Factory line is copper plated steel. I have never had any trouble cracking the brass adapters, but not hard to replace. Check your bypass pressure to make sure it is in spec just in case.

Weather man says I'm going to get to play again and again and again for the next week or so

Man, you guys are pissing me off, send it here. Maybe a chance for a few inches here next week, that is it. To find enough snow to push with a crawler, I would have to go down in the ditch to even find a foot of snow if that.

I right click on your image and select "copy image location" then paste it in the message. I select the image url and press the Img button. It doesn't like an image with a html tag at the end.

I'm trying to do this from a "smart phone"

Haven't had a computer in a long while.

Thanks for the help!

You need Paul Buler for a pile of snow like that. I believe he has done work at a ski resort up there in Vermont.

Haven't seen snow like this in years!
No relief in sight unless Lake Michigan freezes over!
The heated cab sure is nice!
Lavoy send some trucks and I will load them for you

Hoping a single flare works...
Refused to even start the first flare

Yes is a copper coated steel line.

I live on the eastern end of lake Ontario and I plow snow with my Deere 450 dozer. They do a great job. As long as ground is frozen its nice and clean. Been frozen ground since November here with quite a few 2+ foot storms that have come through. Thanks for sharing the pics... they sure do make snow removal fun!

I think the nut is available, or I may have one. I think I can get new lines made, I do finally have a pattern, just never got around to getting them make. I thought they are a flange fitting, not a double flare.
Might be simpler to just bring the crawler there, I could have some fun on that pile.

Got started on firewood for next year and twitched out a couple of blowdowns over the weekend. My boy actually prefers the 40c over the snowmobile:
