Good looking machine Bob, one thing about the great white north is there is always snow to blow in the winter.

Dads G1000 MM wheatland with Schulte snowblower.

Brothers 2255 oliver with Farm King blower.

My 1955 oliver with Lorenz blower.

Have never blown snow, but spent time drilling post holes, looking over my shoulder, and I couldn't straighten my neck out for a week. Must be hard duty with the rear-mounted ones. 'Course, I've kind of got a soft spot for Molines, anyhow.

Thanks for the pics.

Bob I worked at the Hiniker Co. back in the 70s when they were building them snow throwers. We could haul more on the trailer if we stacked them on end with the drive standing up to 13'6". One of the drivers went under a low bridge somewhere in N.D. and bent them all back knocking the last two off the trailer. He got someone to load the mess all back up and brought it back to the factory. Me and 3 other guys spent many days rebuilding the throwers. Lot of unhappy people with that deal. Factory management and customers.

That's a REALLY NEAT story.

I have THREE of the Hiniker units.

One is on a shop-built "tractor" I built in '75 and '76. I haven't used it for several years 'cause the 261 Chevy engine that moves it tossed a rod and I'm too busy with every body else's stuff (and goofing off around here) to rebuild it or work in a more modern engine!
