Snow Plow Thread

Huh?

 

Wax or polish the blade to keep the snow from hanging on like a garden plow?

 

And here I thought you were asking if he Brazillian waxed?

 

Don't we all?

 

Ohhh

I spray cooking oil on it.

 

Hey there Funk,
I'm live'n vicariously thru you post's ..... Moved to sunny Carolina, so I don't have to do what y'all do anymore. It was time , though......Did just that for 52 Seasons
Any Hoo, the vegetable oil trick is very noble of you, Brother. Came out one freezin' Febuary mornin' & I swear this is True....... 2 Raccoons & a squirrel were lick'n the blade that I had oiled the night before I fired my Jeep up & 1 of them did'nt even bother to git. Needless to say, he went for a bit of an avalanche run & that's the last I saw him. Silicon Spray goes a long way too..... never had a situ with that stuff .

Keep up the good work.....Somebody's got to do it ...... +, there's the $$$ also

 

Honored!

I do what I can to think outside the box, but most of the stuff I do is someone else’s idea. Seems more and more my generation, and those still coming up don’t know how to do their own research to solve problems. Me personally, I value the knowledge and experience of those completing the task before me.

Don’t forget a little Wd-40 on the snow shovel to keep snow from sticking.

 

Now you inform me!? After a week of snow? Now?

 

Well…..at least now you know we’ve got more snow coming tonight. Get that Wd40 ready!!!,

 

Ive got snow plowing figured out....get the virus that shall not be named and call your friends to shovel and plow, not sure how long it will last but so far so good.....man this thing is a killer!!

 

Hope you feel better man!

 

Yes Sireee, Jim.
Got to speak to Jim today......Remember the ' Zinc ' & Pedilyte . Get Strong , My Friend.

 

Those of who you plow with your CJ;
Do you always chain up?

I’m getting ready for winter plowing and I was curious about plowing without using chains. Running chains definitely causes some driveway wear as the chains leave marks on the driveways. However I doubt running my tires at low pressure wouldnt help.

I’m sure it’s unavoidable, but figured I’d ask.

 

Also, a couple of plowing upgrades I added for plow season

OxLocker for the front diff


Rear defroster so I can actually see when backing-up

 

I would feel so honored to have my street/driveway plowed by a CJ5! I love this vid. So cool seeing a 60+ yr old vehicle getting business done like it was nothin'. Shows how stout these little Jeeps are.

 

I will say it’s quite fun to be paid to drive my CJ. A plus is that I can help out people in my neighborhood. I lined up a few more accounts this year, so I should easily 4-6 hours per day of plowing, assuming the snows show up.

Im trying to figure out a way to capture the plow content, but all I have is a simple iPhome. A drone would improve things dramatically, but that’s a lot of coin.

I’ll try to make more exciting content as the snow falls

from last year

 

Not usually, The last time I chained up was in 2010, we got 24 inches in Feb. And it pisses me off that I don't have any pic's or vids of me plowing.

 

Nice set up. Wow!

 

I never had chains on the CJ, had them for the tractors. I understand them being good for ice and a good base layer but tear up the pavement and sometimes tires.

 

Interesting. Even while plowing?

The first time I plowed a driveway I had a lot of traction problems, and the tires I run are pretty aggressive. Maybe this year, I’ll try without them for a bit
