89 MJ Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 It is supposed to be getting warmer this week, so hopefully I will be able to roll it outside and pressure wash it. I will update you with pics once it is all clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Seat pan, seat, and lights are wired. Now I need to change the oil in both tractors and get them ready for snow. One is getting a plow, the other is getting a snowblower. I know. I'm a nerd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 best waybis a blower and a plow. both have its pros. i hated swapping plow for blower with my case, but truth be told, i blew it up with the plow. 4ft of snow in one night is hard to keep up with.

That is so incredibly true. Although, no more shoveling for this guy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 I made my OEM wheelweights pretty and and got them ready to put on my nicer tractor. Before Sandblasted Red applied White added. The white needs one more coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Wheel weights are installed as is the snowblower. Now I need to put the plow on my less nice tractor. I had to repair my chute rod on my snowblower. I don’t have finished pics, but here is a pic of the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not this tractor, at least not anytime soon. And the other one had a hydraulic hose blow out, so I need a new one. This snowblower blows the slush that we had on the driveway very well.

89 MJ Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 I have found a large frame Bolens that I really want, and I hope to be able to go pick it up this weekend. If I do end up getting it, the less nice 1556 will get listed for sale. The large frame looks virtually identical to these, but it is a larger tractor and has 20 horsepower instead of 15. I have attached two pictures, neither of which are mine. The first is of an HT20 and the second is comparing the size of an HT20 to a 1556. It is a little difficult to tell, but the large frame is a pretty big tractor. My 1556 is actually larger than my parents 2011 Cub Cadet LTX1050.

89 MJ Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Some snow moving action for all of you. That’s my little brother (13) plowing with my newest of the two. Tonight was the first time operating a snowplow, but he had fun and learned a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
