I have an early '60's DB walk behind - blue with white wheels. It could be a parts-only tractor though I suppose anything can be restored. It does not have the original engine on it - it has a '70s B&S my father added at some point. I have a mower and snowblower for it, in equally marginal...

Should I consider myself lucky that this year, in our first blowable snow on the gravel driveway, I only had to test my speed-shear-pin changing skills three times? I'm pretty sure that's a record low.

Has Husqvarna changed their dealer policy again? Just an idle question. A few years ago, they cracked down on internet "superstores" and catalog sellers, presumably in an attempt to protect their local dealerships. This caused places such as Bailey's and Northern Tool to stop carrying Husqvarna...

Since everyone else has, I thought I'd describe and show my work-light installation. I did this four years ago, but the question gets asked often enough, I thought I'd show yet one more variation on installing work lights. First, I figured out how much light I could install on my BX1500. I...

I live in Massachusetts. We get snow, but not obscene amounts. I have about a 700' dirt driveway. For the past three years, I've used a 60" backblade on my BX1500 to move snow. This worked, and certainly was the cheapest option. When the snow got deep and/or heavy, I'd skim off most of it with...

Snow \"Clearing\" Observation As the snow has flown in much of the country over the last month, there have been a lot of posts about the "best" way to clear driveways, the downsides of each and such. As I read these posts, I see the main ways to do it: FEL, back blade (fowards and backwards)...

I haven't thought this through at all, but sitting here Saturday morning, it occurred to me that it might be somewhat convenient to have an indicator light that indicated that one of the starter disable switches (or operator presence switches) is tripped (seat/in gear/etc - they differ on the...

TBN contains posts from people looking to buy a tractor, and asking about what people think they should buy. These question elicit responses that frequently include priorities, $, "what are you going to do with the tractor", look at lots of different models, etc. Which is all great advice. It's...

As a new tractor owner this summer, I knew work lights were going to happen. I ended up doing a combination of what I've read on this forum. The factory lights of course don't shine backwards, and when using the FEL, are almost useless. Both are necessary for snow removal in my situation. The 2...
