Middle of winter

[37 Cab]

As I sit here on a cold Sunday watching football I find myself wishing for warmer weather and my old Ford. Thought I would share a picture from warmer days. This is on old route 66 in Commerce Oklahoma. How about cheering a guy up with some shots of your old car out and about..

Heres one of the Merc out in the cold of December. Actually taken about 3 years ago. Its a little cold to work in the shop now without turning on the furnace. Maybe this week I"ll get back to it.

Not exactly the warm weather shots I was looking for but great pictures all the same.

Thank the lord I don't still live way up there in Kansas anymore.

[37 Cab]

Yeah.. I am in the corner of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri. Transplanted a few years back for early retirement. Guess I am spoiled but winters seem long and cold. Love it here but I sure do like me some warm weather.

[Talkwrench]

A nice warm fall day in New Hampshire.

[Bill S]

WOW. That snow does not look like fun. Its been 65 years since I lived in a snow area. Looking at the pictures sure don't miss it.

[JSeery]

Snowing pretty good here today. When I was in HS & collage all I wanted to do was get out of the cold climate! Now I perfer the cold to the heat. After several bouts of heat stroke I don't do well in the heat.

[RalphM]

Definitely winter here, going to be 25-30 below this week. Got my Christmas cards all ready to go!

[RalphM]

Found this from some years back. Fall trip to Riudoso NM from El Paso. It was probably 75 on the desert floor. Then went though the tunnel and this!
The red FLH is mine.

A warm fall day in central Ohio.

[Steve in Denver]

Been cold in Colorado too.

[GB SISSON]

Mild here in Western Washington. Mid 40s to 50 or so. Went out on a date with the Mrs on Saturday and we drove the woodie wagon. With the mild weather I have been down in the shop after dinner playing with my cut down '30 AA doodlebug. This thing has been a blast and so easy to work on. It had been used in a shingle mill to skid logs. Hope these photos bring a smile to your face. It's not like we never get snow here, but we won't this year because I recently fabricated a snow plow set up for my old case skidsteer........

Beautiful machine!! I learned to drive in my grandpa's '40 Ford pickup on the farm. Good memories!

[nelsb01]

Now, don't let the snow get you down. Unless you are in this spot. Then, you can only wait for the airdrop or spring.

[39portlander]

Hey the first day of winter 21st the days start getting longer, in 12 more weeks day light savings time starts Sunday March 8th.

I don't mind winter the air is clean and fresh, between mothers and fathers day when the pollen is blowing yellow plumes of eye watering misery that sucks

On the HAMB, this photo would be eliminated as off topic but me, I love it, Thanks for posting

GB, how does you winch drive shaft get power when it is so much higher than the PTO on the transmission?

[Tinker]

cool doodlebug. I have a pto unit and levers for my truck. Pto runs a hydrophilic box I'm guessing? Not sure if that's the way to go or dropping a 3sp in.



Neat bug. like it

Big roller chain coming up through the floorboards off the pto. then into the three speed tranny for the winch. It has 3 speeds fwd and neutral and reverse.. Been pulling junk outa the weeds with it this morning. Every morning when my wife goes to work, my mantra is... I'm gonna go to work in the cabinet shop..... But alas the doodlebug siren draws me in........ Yesterday I wired up a 12 v yellow flashing light so I can go like a tractor down the road and visit my buddies, and yes I have the 'slow moving vehicle triangle' as well.

I live in the Chicago area--cold weather don't stop me from driving my 1937 Ford. If there is no snow on the ground or salt on the roads, I will drive my Ford. The coldest temp I drove my 1937 Ford was about 25 degrees. No heater. Here I am after driving my Ford on Christmas day 2018.
