Plowed snow today
We got about a foot of heavy wet snow last night so I had some fun and made some cash doing neighbors driveways, some of the local roads that needed help and a small sub-division's roads and drives. Took about 5 hrs of plowing and drive time, truck runs great, starts easily, runs strong and keeps 30# oil pressure at idle hot. I got into some salt on the state route and now am going to give it a bath soon as I finish this comment, the outside temp is 36F and now is the time to clean it.

ALWAYS NICE TO SEE AN M37 AT WORK 
LIFE IS SHORT AND ENDS UNEXPECTEDLY. MAKE EVERY MOMENT WORTH REMEMBERING.
Re: Plowed snow today

Re: Plowed snow today
Expecting 2 inches tonight and it's snowing now-not much but I'm just getting a drive-by--the midwest is going to get it big time....

Re: Plowed snow today
Thanks guys, it's handy to have something to get the snow out of the driveway since my snow blower died last season and I hated wrestling with it trying to move wet heavy stuff.
Gary, the weather guy here said tomorrow we will get more wet snow then freezing rain and sleet, all stuff the M can handle better than the blower ever could.
Good that you stirred and warmed the coolant with the temps that low running them until fully warmed is a good thing.
Sotven, M37 at work pix were lacking this year since I was working alone and the folks that owned the property being cleared were more intrested in seeing bare pavement than taking truck in action shots for me, but here are some from last year:

Bob, having your truck under wraps "cold storage" is better than starting it then not allowing it to fully warm like I have seen some owners do who think just starting and running only a short time is better than sitting cold. I believe in "don't start it if you are not going to drive it until it's operating temp".

Re: Plowed snow today
I do like the plow lift setup. Just use the winch. Looks good.
