Default Flathead V8 snow removal

I couldn't get the tractor to start so I was forced to use my roadster to get the snow off the driveway....and the yard!

I wasn't thinking about not having a fan with it being only 15 degrees out... but no actual speed for this amount of time, got her hot!

Hope you all enjoy my little escape from the winter blues...
Zach

I actually had the camera mounted on a wooden stick attached to the frame horn and the headlight...

Zach, looks like you are displacing more snow than you are removing Looks like good practice to get ready to run the dirt track at Latimore Valley Fairgrounds this spring

Looks like fun. But not for me. Yesterday I spent part of the day on the sand soaking up the sun at the beach.

^ I thought I recognized that car. You don't get much more salt while driving than the beach at Wildwood.

Cool, or should I say cold! I don't think your nice little roadster would have much of a chance moving snow around here. Thanks for the ride.
