Tired of the white stuff too

[Nick]

My brother snapped these shots of me just clearing the little bit of snow off the driveway before I headed down the road to plow the neighbors. This is the first time I have been able to do anything with the tractor since I got hit by that jeep. Good thing the clutch/brake is on the right side. I decided it was best to wear my safety vest. I even got on my black & yellow "Allis Chalmers" fire boots as my neighbor calls them. We ended up doing our whole driveway with the snowblower as it was much easier. Snow totals here: 11"

Nick, I thought I recognized thos boots before I read the thread. lol They are tough, but not to warm.

Dave, I was thinking the same thing about the boots, those steel shanks don't help with the cold.

Looks like it's doing the job Nick! Glad to see you back up and around!!

Dave H, & Mark: Your right about them being cold! I added some inserts and I put on some thick socks and they keep me pretty warm. Those boots are almost as old as the tractor. (1972) They were taken out of service at the firehouse because the rubber started to crack. As another method of recycling, I patched them up with bicycle tube patch and they are good enough for winter time. Dave M, When I had the tires mounted I had the one put on the wrong direction. I just never got around to reversing it on the rim. One thing I noticed when you are backing up, it helps with the grip.
