Changed the snowblower oil...

[Mark_88]

with a turkey baster...

It was all I could find and wasn't able to get down on the ground to remove the oil plug so I had to remove it with the same tool...

Didn't do too badly with it...only 600 ml...most of which actually made it to the empty container...a bit of a mess but I was able to contain it....mostly.

Filling was actually harder because I couldn't see the clean oil as easily as the dirty oil. It's done for now...all ready to attack the first snow flakes.

I'm probably one of the last ones to get ready this year...mostly due to not having even seriously cold weather...and only a few days that might have snow...today it is raining again...

Anyone actually having to shovel, plough or blow any snow yet?

We have almost a foot of super-dry sugar snow. Snowmobile doesn't even pack it down. I just bought a 1992 Troy Bilt riding mower with a 36" snowblower. It's all tuned up and ready...just hoping for some fresh stuff to try it. I do have a F-350 diesel with an 8' plow but sometimes it's nice to do something different.

Tractor has been sitting patiently with the blade on it for about a month.

Blade has done nothing but serve as an auxiliary parking brake this year... which isn't all bad.

Nope seen a few flakes mostly a sneezing of snow but it hasn't even been cold enough most of the time....its weird
