I store mine outside on a concrete pad behind the barn.
One hot October day I decided to bring it up front in preparation for the inevitable.
I hooked it up and it wouldn't raise...
I went through the wiring, all the while sweating my arse off but that didn't do it.
As a last result, I got the adjustment tool and beat on the pump housing. Nothing. I did it again a little harder and, VOILA!!! It works...
The BFH works almost every time.
Mine has been on the truck in the barn for 2 weeks now.
We be ready to rock !!!

most plowing is done up and down anyway, the only time you need the left or right motion is on the finish....and that is more like a swirl motion.

We actually started him on rice cereal last week and last night Mama noticed he has a couple teeth coming in now. **

Those boys have changed everything in my life - and I could not be more excited about it.**I am finally able to be the big kid and have two little guys that are excited about our adventures.....As for Mama, well, she just shakes her head at us all.

Just picked up our blower from my repair guy yesterday and it snowed this morning. We got about 6 or 7 inches up to now.
This guys is great......dropped it off, he rebuilt the carb (new float) and fixed a support rod for the little differential.....charged me 60$!
I'm real glad I bought a replacement half-ton for moving stuff like that around when I have to. Comes it real handy.

pffft. You Yankees are doing it wrong. The second our semi-annual snowflake hits the ground down here; we just clear out the grocery aisles and shut down the schools for a week.
