I always try and have the snow equipment ready before thanksgiving. The full sized Meyer snowplow is all set for the year out at the farm, but I needed to get the CC out of summer mode and set for winter for my house.
Oil is all changed, tractor greased, and tires aired up. I've added 100LBS of ballast to the tires, now I just need the tire chains to be mounted. If I hadn't lent my ladder to a friend to hang Christmas lights, I could have gotten them down from the attic.
Installed a new Polyurethane cutting edge as well. The old steel one (an MTD replacement, probably 15 years old now) was already worn down on both sides. Naturally all of the bolts except the center one snapped off, even with penetrant. New stainless hardware was used on assembly.
Now I just hope it can sit in the garage all winter and not see any action!
