Cotton is the worst for trying to stay warm in the winter. Go to El Mercado de Wal and get some polypropylene tights and undershirts, then layer up over those, 2 pair if you need it then some wool shirts and pants. Keep your feet and head warm and the rest of you will be warm. --R On 9/21/14 10:15 AM, WILTON via Mercedes wrote: 'Checked the stash last night - these are no brand, US gov issue, extreme cold weather, 100% cotton, waffle weave; 7 pants, size 35-38, 6 shirts, size 38; several appear to have never been worn.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale
Wool! Why didn't I think of that? It kept us warm back in the '30s and '40s. Itchy wool outer clothing or longjohns might be tolerable over polypropylene. The mechanics of the longjohns trapdoor and the pull down thermals might be tricky, though. Keeping the head cool definitely works. The A/C in the 300D doesn't keep the whole car cool on the hot Florida summer days, so I pulled the flexible duct that goes to the right dash outlet out through the glove compartment hole, and using file folder rubber bands, hung it on the rearview mirror so it blows in the face. The whole body seems to stay cool. Don't know how one would keep the head warmer than with an insulated hood, though. Maybe a wool scarf.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale
Its a matter of relativity, I don't think any of us would consider a wood stove a luxury but compared to a fireplace it sure is. Compared to sitting on a cold metal pan seat this padded seat cover will be pure luxury. Plowing is way better than snowblowing, way less snow in your face. My plow is really only good for up to a foot of powder snow or maybe 4 of wet stuff though. Actually now that I think of it maybe today would be a good day to finally fluid fill the tires. I've got enough power to plow more snow, I usually run out of traction which is in this case directly related to weight. -Curt From: Dan Penoff via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2014 7:15 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale I find this statement troubling.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale
I have approached snow removal from many directions over the years. Wheel Horse 8HP tractor with dozer blade Walk behind snow blower Tractor (16HP) mounted snowblower In nearly every instance, the biggest issue was getting enough weight to the back wheels for traction. The Wheel Horse didn't have weights or chains, but that was in Indiana with snow depths that weren't outrageous (mostly.) Since it was pushing rather than blowing snow, it worked pretty well until you got a big pile. At that point it was pretty much useless. The walk behind snowblower in Wisconsin was nice, as I had very flat ground to work with and a cab that directed engine heat to me, making it relatively comfortable, but not luxurious. The cab kept the blowing snow off the operator as well, which was nice. Lastly, the 16HP tractor with the snowblower was probably the least desirable, mainly because I had a fairly steep incline to deal with. Even with wheel weights and chains it struggled to move/throw snow, and this was in Indiana with snow depths that weren't what I would consider extreme in most cases.

Fall weather seems to be upon us here in the Low Country, didn't get warmer than high seventies yesterday, upper sixties at night. Our front yard oak has started dropping leaves, but none are turning yet. Beautiful day to work on the White Whale in the garage (installed lifters, cam shaft, chain tensioner, and removed radiator in anticipation of replacing condenser).

Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale
I'd use windshield washer fluid. Its relatively cheap, easy to get and of course it won't freeze. For a big tractor its calcium in water, much heavier but more difficult since it has to be mixed up. For that I'd have somebody do it but the tire guy won't come out for two little garden tractor tires like he will for a farm tractor. -Curt From: Meade Dillon via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com To: Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2014 10:03 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale Curt, What fluid would you use to fill your tractor tires?

Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale
Exactly. That's what I did in later years in Wisconsin. More so because I was traveling a lot and the wife was home with the boys at the time and working full time as well. Our Landscaping guy plowed driveways in the winter, so we paid him to keep the driveway clear. Much easier than having to roust out in the early AM after a snow and dig out before going to work...

Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale
A garden tractor and plow without wheel weights and chains is a waste of time. Mine will plow an astonishing amount of snow and if I lift the plow as I hit the pile the tractor will stand right up and make big snowbanks. Those banks are very useful for loading snowmobiles. Even though the trailer tilts its a PITA and its much easier to load if theres a bank. I've used a tractor mounted blower before and the only problem I had with it was that it wasn't very maneuverable which is the big advantage with a walk behind. This all reminds me I need to pull the clutch apart on our walk behind and figure out why its losing power. I suspect its got a rubber drive wheel thats worn or needs adjusting. It still works, just needs some help and pushing the snowblower is no fun at all. -Curt From: Dan Penoff via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com To: Mercedes List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2014 10:04 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale I have approached snow removal from many directions over the years.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale
Maybe. I should look into the cost. In my small experience with it this is usually done from a truck. Maybe I can catch them on a day they're doing one nearby. Alternately I could go back to plan A with washer fluid, I've already got a valve to put fluid in while taking air out, just need a way to adapt that valve to something I can put fluid into. The truck pumps the fluid in, my plan was to let the air out of the tire with the tractor on the ground, connect the valve, start adding fluid and jack the tractor up. Lather, rinse, repeat and I should be able to get 3-4 gallons in each wheel. It doesn't add a ton of weight but it puts it right where its needed. Next step would be a big weight box off the back. -Curt From: Jim Cathey jim.cathey...@gmail.com To: Curt Raymond curtlud...@yahoo.com; Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2014 11:15 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale For that I'd have somebody do it but the tire guy won't come out for two little garden tractor tires like he will for a farm tractor.

The tires have tubes but I see your point. Apparently its not a problem, this isn't an idea I came up with, loads of people do it.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale
My snow plan here was to use the regular loader bucket (6 ft) on my 45 hp (I must add Diesel) utility tractor. But I have found it a lot easier to just wait for it to melt (1 week, tops) here in NC. But when I lived in NJ as a Kid and was assigned in Ohio (WPAFB), the white stuff had to be shifted becase it lasted until spring. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.

Washer fluid is available and fairly cheap. My tractor came with glycol in the back tires; no problems yet after 5 years except for a dead tire pressure gauge. I stop each tire with the valve up to add or check air. Calcuim works but it's corrosive so you want an inner tube if you uise that stuff.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale
The brand of thermal underwear is less important than the weight and material. I've got 3 pairs, lightweight for when its not that cold and I need to move around. Heavier for when its colder and/or I'm moving less (like snowmobiling) and heavyweight for serious cold or just hanging around. The heavyweight are good for ice fishing where you do a lot of sitting and waiting unless I happen to meet somebody with a good ice shack that has a woodstove and maybe a little insulation. Mine are all polypropylene which is miles ahead of cotton. They tell me silk is good but its spendy. -Curt From: archer75--- via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com To: WILTON wilt...@nc.rr.com; Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2014 5:47 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale For the past 20 years I've heated my shop with ten 100 watt filament bulbs (which also provide plenty of light) except for one very cold winter which required 12 bulbs.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale
Wonder if thats the same stuff they use for rust remover. I'm given to understand it gets quite ripe after a couple days. I've been using evapo-rust which I think is molasses based and has no particular smell. I did let some evaporate down by accident, it turned into a thick good like molasses encapsulating the wrenches I was cleaning. No harm though, just add some water to re-hydrate. -Curt From: Scott Ritchey via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com To: 'Scott Ritchey' ritche...@nc.rr.com; 'Mercedes Discussion List' mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2014 8:30 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale Should have said the beet juice was NOT coorsive. -Original Message- From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of Scott Ritchey via Mercedes Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2014 5:29 PM To: 'Meade Dillon'; 'Mercedes Discussion List' Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale Washer fluid is available and fairly cheap.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale
i used to be comfortable with thermals down to about zero F, but here lately the heavy thermals aren't enough below 32F. Age probably has something to do with it. I'm thinking there might be even more effective thermals for arctic regions. I'll see what I can out on the 'net since Wilton has his stored away.

ATTABOY! Wilton - Original Message - From: Curt Raymond via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Friday, September 19, 2014 9:16 PM Subject: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale To finish up my Cub Cadet wiring adventure, it turns out that when the previous owner ran a line to the batt terminal of the regulator all he actually had to do was to move the grey wire from the hot side of the starter to one side of the ammeter. I actually spliced the grey wire to a little of the previous owner's very long wire since the grey wire had quite a large ring terminal on it. Viola it works, that easy. One downside is that it doesn't measure when cranking since that comes off the switched side of the starter switch but everything else is measured including the headlights. With the ammeter sorted I took a look at the bracket which at one point must have been chromed but is now just rust. I let it soak for a few hours in a bath of evapo-rust, then cleaned it, dried it and hit it with some primer and yellow paint. I let it dry overnight and then sprayed the backside. When that was mostly dry I baked it in my toaster oven but had the heat too high and bubbled the paint. That subsided into an interesting crackle look which goes with the mostly rotten paint on the rest of the tractor. When I turn on the headlights the charge rate dips for a second before it goes back to normal. I was pleased to see that the starter/generator charges even at very low engine speed. My other Cub Cadet seems to want more engine speed before it charges, I guess I should order a starter/generator rebuild kit for that one as well. After all that fun I took a few minutes to add slime to the left front tire which was low and put some grease in all the zerks. Most importantly I was able to start the tractor cold without starting fluid for the first time in about a year. I was so happy with it I went out and bought a padded seat cover. The machine had one when I first bought it but it got torn off last spring so I'd spent a year sitting with a dirty old towel on the metal seat. I'm ready to plow snow in luxury. -Curt ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
