[Prosno]

[Prosno]

[Prosno]

[snowplowjay]

Boy those are some sharp pictures :D

I wonder who was the man behind the camera ;)


Can't wait to finish her up and get those plows painted and tuned up for winter...........................


Jay

[CT18fireman]

A lot less "stuff" on the hydro units males them easier to break down. Looks to be in pretty good shape. With your rebuild you should be able to get a few more years out of it. That is smart. I know of a lot of guys who would just dump it at that point.

Nice camera work Jay.

[Lawngodfather]

Just subscrtbing for updates....

Well now that I have posted, is it going to get some flames or kick azz pattern on it?

[snowplowjay]

Were in a toss up.................

White or Red

Were thinking long and hard about Red with white pinstriping and white letters.................................

Jay

[Prosno]

I think I'm letting Jay make a color scheme on this paint job, I,m to tire to think and really dont care at this point and he seems to make the best choices. So what is it Jay?????

[Pickering Snow]

Bill

Easy choice on color E-4 vermillon red is there any other color you one eyed goofy torch lighting cigar smoking @#$%^&*( hey really though iam am sending you a lighter in the mail from me my gosh bill i love ya to much to see ya torch your good eye:D

[Prosno]

Well it looks like the inside of the hopper, and inside the track rails is going to be PVC coated and baked. this should give it a tough rust free coating for years. I think Jay has decided on red for a color.

Are you serious Jay, I can't believe that you of all people, a die hard Yankee's fan would paint anything Red right now!! Oh maybe that is why you are thinking long and hard. Better go with that Yankee White with black pinstripping don't you think?? :haha :haha

Cute Jeff!!!

:D

[Prosno]

Wow is all I can say about PVC coating on the inside of this thing! Baked on at 375 its tough as nails. The outside is getting painted today and I will have pics soon. Only thing ya might not like is the color! PVC is teal, and paint is gonna be teal too.

[Prosno]

Okay easy on the color comments, I wanted red but it would have been 350.00 just in materials. He had this color on the shelf and its epoxy paint. Inside is pvc coated

[Prosno]

I dont know.... I think its a snowy kind of color

[Prosno]

I think I might paint the Blizzards this color

[Prosno]

I'll have some assembly shots soon

[Prosno]

last one

[John DiMartino]

Wow, what a color! it looks like the color of the scooby doo mystery machine! All you gotta do now is paint some flowers and peace signs on it:D ;) ( i had to Billy,sorry!)

[Garagekeeper]

I like the color, and with some graphics and lettering will stand out even more!
:rolleyes: John...........................

[Prosno]

I can feel the love

[JCurtis]

Where are my sunglasses ????????????????????


Might look purdy with white snowflake decals placed randomly all over it !:rolleyes: :D

Sorry Billy, and Jay, you know I had to make a comment !

[Prosno]

Snowflakes? I like that

[JCurtis]

Yeah just remember no two flakes are alike in size or shape.

and don't discount the two flakes who repaired and painted this thing LOL:D:greenange :jk

[John DiMartino]

Billy one last question.. is there a direct mount avalaible for the mystery machine or does it have to be custom fabbed?:D .Are you painting the F350 to match,it would make a heck of a base coat for the flames:D

[76chevyman]

Geez everyone picking on Bill. Don't blame him for not using his good eye that day. 1eye1


Rich:burnout

[Clean Cut Lawns]

I'm seeing spots.1eye2 :geez :geez :geez :geez :geez :geez

[Alan]

I think you couild get a graphics shop to cut random snowflakes out of reflective white vinyl and paste 'em all over it.

[BWAMX]

Good thing I was wearing my SUN glasses when I stopped by on Sunday! :cool:

Steel sander $3200.00 :confused:
Stainless steel $4200.00

Paint $350.00
Bearings $150.00
Misc nuts & bolts $45.00

[Lawngodfather]

Did you want it to be a boy spreader.....


Glad you didn't have pink


Looks good man. a little POR15 under there too would do wonders.

[sno-mover]

I think it looks good, its deffinantly different thats for sure. But the decals are a good idea and would look good

[snowplowjay]

DISCLAIMER:

SnowPlowJay does not take any responsibility for choosing this color..........since Mister ProSno had previously stated that I would be choosing the color.....................It was all BILL people ALL BILL...

Jay

[BWhite]

White snowflake decals would save the color !

[Clean Cut Lawns]

[JCurtis]

The Snowflakes were my idea !!!!!


:D :grinz :greenange :geez :geez

[snowplowjay]

After a lonnnnnnnnng phone conversation with laughing so hard we were crying Johnny D and I decided that I should do a little "modification work" to not only the spreader but also to Bill so that he would fit in driving the truck with this spreader hitched to it...............................ENJOY I know I am :D

[JCurtis]

Bill, Wheres the snowflakes on the spreader ?????????????

[Alan]

Nice looking spreader, UGLY truck! Then again, all those Brand F trucks are ugly.

[snowjoker]

I agree Alan Keep the spreader and ditch the truck :jk

[CT18fireman]

A little off topic...Are those plowlights aimed properly??? Looks like with the weight of the Blizzard they would be pointing down to much.

[snowplowjay]

Im going to have to consult the Blizzard Aiming Manual to be sure.....................



They are not aimed since I had just pulled the headgear off the shelf and threw it on a few minutes prior............


As far as the weight pulling the front end down.....................

NOT A BIT........Remember thats a serious front end PLUS it has Timbrens all the way around..................

That truck is a great rig..............

Jay

[CT18fireman]

Unless it has no suspension (axles welded to frame) it will move with a plow, that will be multiplied by the headlights, like aiming a rifle an inch at the truck will be feet where the lights hit the road.

From the pic they looked pointed down to much. Pet peeve of mine is poorly aimed lights. Annoying and often dangerous.

[Lawngodfather]

Add salt in spreader and they be aimed right......

[Prosno]

Oh god its back!

[snowplowjay]

ummmmmmmmmmmmm
