Trash<br>

I use a rear blade and with the blade FACING Towards the front of the Tractor, I put the tractor in REVERSE and Push snow with the back of the blade. It works very well and doesn't DIG IN and tear up the lawn, stone driveway or whatever. I then manicure the Snowbanks with the FEL. I always keep the FEL about 1/2" (level indicator) above Level, so it won't tear into the yard.<br>
I have moved very wet, heavy Snow and lots of it and I have never had a problem. I have R4 tires, filled with ballast and no chains. When we get 30 plus inches of heavy, wet Snow, I may have to make a first run with the FEL and then I increase the width of the path using the Back of the blade. You may not need to make the first run if you have chains.<br>
Keep the banks close to the driveway because unless your ground freezes, you will still be pushing stone onto your lawn, just not as much as you would using the FEL. Here, once the ground freezes, I usally have a few inches of packed frozen Snow on top of the Stone and the blade glides over it with no trouble at all. I have a 48" Blower on the Old JD 400 that is now an ornament, don't need it and don't use it anymore.

Since they decided to take the Asbestes out of the pad material, the New material creates more heat which causes the rotors and drums to burn out and warp, at best 35,000 miles. Pads are hard and wear quickly as compared to the old pads.

This Black Cherry was originally Garage dried (basement of house) and I bought it and brought it home. I have it under my Deck and it has aborbed alot of moisture, so what you say may well be the case. The moisture may have brought more of the resin to the surface.

Usually it is still NEW unless the Title has been released and then regardless if the Unit has moved an inch, it becomes USED.How it works with Tractors, I can only guess.
If the dealer recieves and SIGNS for a damaged vehicle from the Factory, he is a fool. We deny shipment and it is sent back to the factory where the damaged is repaired to as Good as Original condition and it is then sold thru a Manufacturer Auction. They are sold as USED, because the title was released to the Dealer and then re released back to the Manufacturer and then re released back to another Dealer. USED has nothing to do with miles but rather if the title has been released before. We have bought many vehicles that were damaged in shipments and then repaired and we sell them with about 20 miles on them as USED and for many thousand less than MSRP.

If your brother ORDERED this truck, he should have a copy of all of the CODES that were ordered for the truck options. If that Lock Option is not on the Sales Agreement and his signature is, they owe him NOTHING. <br>
Your brother may have a case with GM HQ as I said before and as KT pointed out and ANN very politely tried to imply.<br>
I have a STUPID question for your brother, he said "This was my normal routine (my old truck S10)--I would take the tanks out to my truck, unlock the passenger side door, lay the tanks on the floor, close the door, go around to the driver side door, unlock it, get in, and drive away." <br>
WHY DOESN'T HE LAY THE TANKS ON THE FLOOR IN THE BACK, ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE? That way he can unlock from the driver's side and won't have so far to go to get in and drive away.<br>

I have loaded some mighty BIG boulders into my FEL but as MURF pointed out as well as a few others here, there is a SHOCK IMPACT as well as the static weight. Meaning if you have 800 pounds in your loader and you are moving and hit a small bump, the bounce may cause the load to far exceed the static weight of 800 pounds. Be careful and move slowly when loaded heavy.

Some added advice to you all, BACK UP, you NEVER back up too often only NOT ENOUGH.

I have three Hard Drives in my system, but most people should have a minium of two. Use the Primary for Programs and data and the second as backup of all data and Windows with Updates.

The report was about Iran and they are being lead by a real Space Dude. He is a real Genuine fantatic and he has NOT gotten to the point in his Regime to be like Saddam, YET.
You are very right about grey hair old farts, but then again there isn't much left of a bomber to be able to really tell, many but not all of the time, the head is severed an usually within a city block of the bombing.
I still say FREEDOM and OPPURTUNITY is one of the Best weapons we can offer, what you see is Young coming in from other countries, mostly Syria. As the U.S. has Soldiers of Fortune so do many other countries. Except the difference would be, they do it NOT for money but for the chance to leave this world and meet 70 Virgins. They have NOTHING else in life to live for, nothing in this World set as a goal, all these people have to look forward to is Fullfillment in another after life. We can solve this by offering options, jobs, etc. I still say this war is very winable. 30 years ago the story would be far different, even maybe 20 years ago. Today there is the World Wide Web and it works well for starting and spreading information. Look at the collasp of Russia, that wasn't all just economy, there was a lot of desire for Western life from the people within. Soldiers started asking why they were dying for a few Rubles per month and Americans had good cigarettes, good warm clothing, they looked healthy and happy etc, questions were asked and this and the economy created the road for destruction for the old USSR or Soviet Union. Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan and even North Korea have a pretty pathetic economy, keep the info hiting them, time and determination will change them.

Do it in reverse, using the back of the blade to push, that way the blade will NOT dig in and does a Great job, scraping the Snow away. Then you can use the FEL to stack the Snow or relocate the banks. <br>
I have a lot of driveway as well and we usually get hammered with a lot of Snow and this is the way I have found works the Best. Oh! and in the early season, it doesn't rip your grass all to Hell either, will scrape right down to the Grass and leaves the grass in place. I have a 6' Frontier and it has worked extremey well,even in 30 plus inch Snow storms, have been able to move it, just fine. I have R4 tires, Turf will only spin on Snow and frozen ground.<br>
If the above is not what you want to do and you are still concerned about tearing up the pavement, then replace the Steel Cutting Edge with a Rubber One.

Denis<br>
<br>
You listed five personnal opinions and they are by no means established facts. You also said "Don't explain these failures away" so I did not. Now you are wondering why I did not. <br>
<br>
1. Welcome to the New Justice. I watched a High School teacher lose his job, his home and his family, because he was accused by young female student of molesting her. After about two years she confessed she had made it all up because he had failed her on a test or whatever. Today, you can accuse a Mother of child abuse if she smacks her child in a store for touching and the Welfare Dept may come and take the child away as was done in Conn. Liberals love to accuse and then have the accused prove their innocence. We have allowed the media instead of War Correspondants to be apart of the Operations. Bad decision. When one gets injured the story shifts from the War and the fighting soldier to the Newsperson and why weren't they protected etc etc. We have flipped our lids, Denis. We accuse without merit and the accusations being made today would have been scourned during WWII. I fully agree with trials for those who murder women and children and rape them. If they are guilty, FIRING SQUAD. It is a war, but wars are fought with a degree of decency, you don't pilerage the ones you are trying to help and you don't rape them and treat them the same as some garbage. NO Failure by Bush what SIMPLE COMMAND could end this? <br>
<br>
2. We have turned over the Bulk of the interior defense to the Iraqis. We are advisors and the such and it took a bit of presuading to get the Marines to go in and do what they did a year ago. We are NOT occupiers, remember? and we can not act like Occupiers. We are there to help. We need to have permission not just from our Government but from the Iraqis as well. NO Failure by Bush, but by defination of mission. What SIMPLE COMMAND could allow to enter the Cities and flush the terrorists out without Iraqi apporval?<br>
<br>
3. Political Assinations are unacceptable in the U.N. or any World Order. Is that really the way you want the U.S. to be? I rather see some Diplomacy mixed with the force and not just BLIND FORCE, that was Hitler's and Stalin's Way. NO Failure by anyone what SIMPLE COMMAND could eliminate him and not get the U.S. thrown under the bus? <br>
<br>
4.Invade Pakistan? under what premise? wow! let's have a World War created by the U.S. let's not just talk about the merits of Iraq, let's invade everyone. That should make every Arab love us more. Denis, slow down. We are not going to spend billions over ONE man and mostly if that man can be defeated in other ways. We chose the other ways and they have been working, well now that the New York Times made a few dollars over a story that sold out U.S. Info. Now! once the Taliban has beem fully reformed and they enter in from Pakistan, we can have another Turkey Shoot. Until we have something to react to, I don't think we can be agressive to another country. NO Failure by anyone, just God Awful terrain and no bases to work from, no operatives, no highways, only can work from established areas a few clicks at a time. Aerial Recon only shows mountains and lots of shadows where Armies could hide and not be seen. what SIMPLE COMMAND would be given to create this, I am afraid this is thin ice for us?<br>
<br>
5. Can't close the borders until it is agreed on by the Majority. There have been over 40 Presidents prior to George. I think the borders will be closed for that seems to be the fervor of the people. It is a BIG ISSUE now but never was before. Thanks to Web forums, internet and means of getting people alerted. what SIMPLE COMMAND that would not piss God knows who off?<br>

I stay away from AC for I am always forgeting Black is HOT in AC.
I had a BAD experience with DC, that was really LIFE THREATENING and that was when I was 12 and pissed on an Electric Fence, I didn't see it for it was late afternoon. I swore there was smoke and I have never come close to reproducing that scream. I am so thankful they only had a 12 volt pulsating fence and not one of them NEW ones like they have today, WADCUTTERS or something like that, the ones that Burn the grass away. Whew!

I didn't understand if you were trailerig your CUT and Blower or not, usually if you are blowing 120 inches of Snow, they ain't laid salt yet.
I have a front blower on my other tractor, loved it, for I did NOT deal with Banks, I do deal with 250 mph rocks occcassionally. Been known to take out a nice LR Window and one PU Windshield, I think I got a Blue Jay in mid flight once too.
Where I live we get 250 inches plus of Snow but last year was very OPEN. Once the ground is frozen, the blower will glide better over the rocks etc, I will only allow the blower to skim for the Early Winter ones, when the ground is still soft and the rocks easily picked up. Keep plenty of Auger Shear Bolts handy. The only negative of a fromt blower is Cold, Powdery Snow and doing the job in shifting winds, I have virtually disappeared sitting on my Tractor and the wife has had to come out and unbury me and feed me Brandy. It is quick and it is neat, unlike the blade that takes the top inch of soil and stones and packs them on your lawn.
For the last three winters I have used my rear Blade and plowed in REVERSE versus forward, does a great job but I have Snow Banks until July.
