Keeping the blade polished or painted will help the snow slide off easier. I also coat mine with spray silicone before plowing snow. It really make a difference.
Either Rebecca is busy working, doing other things behind the scenes or she doesn't like to be on camera. It doesn't matter. She is always a big help when she does show up on the camera. Thanks again for making these videos and sharing your family 👪 and farm with us.
I started following your channel becasue of the old AC tractor. I have a D 17 series 4 that I am rebuilding and hope to use in the next few years. Glad to see yors still being used. Love your channel!
I think there are separate locks that hold the wheel s from moving or out. Blade needs to be cleaned of rust and painted. Slick surface will move snow easier. A sway chain will keep tjhe blade from moving sideways.
Wood burning folks always had a bucket or two of stove ashes to throw on the driveway for a stuck vehicle. It was especially helpful when there was a bit of ice and no traction to be had. We also used straw for walkways to keep our guest's shoes clean. It was always reassuring to see the ash buckets on long driveways to help maneuver in ice and snow. It was cheap and it was a friendly thing to do. Thanks for the reminder! Great video! George
you need to decrease your blade angle and increase your speed, the snow will roll off the blade better. little coating of wd40 on the face of the blade will help also
I love seeing people working with the classic tractors I still use 1950 John Deere A, two Ford 9n's, and a 1954 Ford NAA, and Ford 2000, a Massey Ferguson 245, and a 1995 kubota L2650 and a 2013 Kubota L5740 I might have a tractor obsession
Good evening Evan and Rebecca, you two did good together. I would recommend a set of chains and a block heater and park it in the old barn through the rough part of winter and you'll leave the chains on till the spring thaw is over. Then remove the chains. They have done that for years and the two wheel drive will get it done most of the time. Also move the "FIX the slip wheel on both wheels this summer. Stay safe and keep up the great videos, we sure enjoy your channel. Fred.
Evan next time it snows just try using your new loader to push the snow. If you just leave the bucket on the ground it will fill with snow but just keep on driving down the driveway and the snow will start to furrow to the side. When you come back to the house just only catch half the bucket width with snow and it will mostly furrow to the other side. It’s not completely perfect but it does work when you get the hang of it. Done it for thirty years.
Great video! Not sure why, but I always love to watch winter videos. Maybe because we hardly ever see snow here in Mississippi. Anyhow, thanks for getting out in the cold to churn out more excellent content! You and Pete at Just A Few Acres Farm are both my all-time favorites...I never miss an episode! Also, that's a mighty fine pole barn...I have really enjoyed watching the build process!
Sometimes you can use the bucket to lift yourself out - you probably knew that- did good with no chains would of been cooler to see you pull it out with the Case Awesome vid
The reason the blade is pushing the tractor around is you have the blade angle to steep. Swing it back the way it was and it won't control the tractor so bad plus you will plow a wider width. I think the reason the snow wouldn't roll is you had the tractor inside and the blade was warm. When you started plowing the snow would stick to the blade. If you would have kept plowing the blade would have cooled off and snow would have started to roll. Also your blade is rusty until the blade shines itself up snow just drags on it. Just like molboard plowing you have to shine up the blades before the dirt will roll. Have a good day. I really enjoy your channel only started watching a couple weeks ago.
No worries about being stuck. I saw a Case Tractor pull out a John Deere Tractor out of a muddy field. Things happen . Great Farm Show, Evan 😎💯🇺🇸🚜🐃🐐🐖🤔☃️❄️🚜👀
I took a blade and cut in half and made a V-Blade. It works prfect and when you back up becomes a v-pusher. Way more efficient, won't fishtail. Good luck 👍
You’re missing a stop block on your spin out rims, there should be two, one one either side of the in or out position. You could build a three point hitch on the AC with the draw bar still available for use. With loader on, it actually takes weight off of rear tires. Set your front wheels in to inside line of back tires, tractor will steer better and turn shorter. Good old tractor, thanks for sharing.
Need to make sure those locks are moved all the way around to the locked position. There is a special tool included that is made specifically to unlock and lock those lugs.
I love those old tractors and equipment - I have a 1956 Farmall Cub myself. But they do come up short on stuff like traction compared with a 4-wheel drive. Thanks for sharing Evan. Yall have a beautiful place ... even snow-covered.
If it's clear behind the tractor you can actually use the bucket or forks of your loader tractor to "push" the tractor backwards. Handy little trick in a pinch.
Use the bucket tilted down and drop into the ground. Tilt bucket back as you try to backup. That usually works for me. May have to repeat (walk your way back). I agree that the back blade is turned to much. Put it back like it was and it won't walk your tractor sideways. Also need to slick up the face. Wire wheel it? Enjoy your channel and videos!
Beautiful video, Evan. Thanks for all the camera angles and for your time in editing ... Thanks for posting your shoot date ... I always wonder about that. And Miss Rebekah came through, yet again!
Evan - Love watching your videos.... Try using PAM on the face of the blade, very little will stick and it will roll off. And the spray pattern is perfect in that can. I use it on my snow blower chutes... And you can get your tractor unstuck by using the "Curl" feature on your front bucket. Put the cutting edge all the way down and back, then lower the bucket to the ground, then curl the bucket up, this will push the tractor backwards.
We just generally just pushed the snow around with the loader bucket. But when we finally got a tractor with a differential lock, it was so much better in many of these situations.
Hola cómo estás Evan do you have a nice place very clean inside the barn very nice range are you hava y les mandó saludos a todos ustedes and I say hello to everybody from Santa Fe New Mexico
Evan, Look for a old Gallion Road Grader. One swipe and the drive is clean as a whistle and over with. Good video yes these tractors need chains. Thx for posting
You should get some fiberglass snow plow markers-the kind that set well back from the driveway and have an arm that swings over to the driveway edge. Will save you running off the edge and won’t interfere with the plow blade.
The last time I remember having a heat houser on our Farmall M was in 1967. That was a canvas-like shroud that draped over the sides of the tractor engine and channeled engine heat to the open station of the operator. It made a wonderful difference when working in cold weather, especially while in road gear. I’m surprised this simple technology seems to be lost in the 21st century. Am I a relic of a forgotten past, or does anybody use these now?
On the tire coming out, you need to secure some wheel rail stops, I think the tractor probably had two wheel rail stops for each wheel when it was new, Check it out, to get the wheel rail lock to work I had to take the frozen lock off the wheel, heat it up an get it loose, Just my experience with my D14 Good job enjoy watching you work,
our last bad snow I found a new computer monitor in a bag at the end of our lane by the mailbox instead of being brought to the house. Your finished job looked good. Wish I knew more about those rims to offer suggestions but your channel is the first time I have seen one of those actually being adjusted.
On my D17 I need to use chains on the rear wheels to get any traction in snow ice. It will just spin out with out.. I like your video. You got a nice other more modern tractor with a cab, and you could rig something on your front loader of it and be in a nice warm way in doing the drive!
It would not hurt to invest in a set of chains for next time. It would not hurt for sure. Good vid and shows you the limitation but it does work and you will get better at it. Maybe a plow extension added to the other side may help? Thanks for posting on your winter wonderland.
I was caught without chains early this year. We had about a foot and let me tell you 4 wheel drive tractors need chains in snow. Without chains I was facing north south east and west and every point in between at any given moment. They were on the tractor that day and will stay on until I see dandelions.....lol
I had a feeling those lugs weren't tight enough to hold. And yup, those two-wheeled tractors don't do very well in the snow without chains. Four-wheel also for that matter. They can get stuck on a flat icy driveway. You are going to need a set of highway chains for winter snow plowing. Maybe look around the barn to see if you can find a set for that Allis tractor. And, as others have commented, you need to wire brush the plow blade, paint it, and spray it with cooking oil or a silicone spray. Should make a big difference.
Looks like the wheel came out again. I figured it would since you used that small impact/screw gun. We owned one when I was a kid. You should have used that breaker bar and put some weight behind it. Oh well live and learn.
Evan, watching you attempt to move the snow with the rear plow blade was frustrating to watch, I know it had to be more so actually doing it. I believe a front mounted blade is so much more efficient and easier to use. You got the job done though, and we got to see that beautiful old tractor in action.
Another great video Evan. You need to straighten your blade so it doesn't have so much leverage to push the ole girl sideways. You can always take a little layer at a time if she is having trouble pulling. Plus speed equals force. 👍🇺🇸
I used my 1950s MF35 on our last big snow and you have the same issue I'm working with, the three point sway chains are not tight because they need to allow the blade to lift. I have side stabilizer bars that help (not sure if you do or not). The other item is after getting the inside of the blade shined up and dried , put oil or silicone spray on it so the snow will stick less. Other than that it went great, a lot better than hand shoveling!
The snow does look pretty there. With a long driveway like you guys got, it would almost be nice to have a blade to mount on the loader. Nice work there with the Ol' Alice. I spent last Thursday clearing out driveways. Even cleaned out your in-laws drive too. Take care.
This looks like another good opportunity to use a winch. I suggested in your last video a winch that can hook into a receiver hitch, or even be chained to a piece of equipment. It’s one of those things that once you have, you find more ways to make it useful.
The property that my wife and I bought along with our 3 kids it also had old farm machinery I've used them for around 5 years until we purchased a couple new pieces of equipment so I know what it's like to plow snow and do many other jobs with old equipment.
Hi Evan, on your Allis there needs to be a "stop" set on the rim rails so it doesn't move in a hard pull & the cams need to be as tight as they were before U adjusted the tread width. Take a close look @ the rear rims for those stops, also operators manual will explain how to properly do it. Also look @ CL & FB marketplace for tire chains, get a wide enough set & if they R too long they R easy to shorten. Thanks for the nice video!
This Wisconsin boy chuckled when you were complaining about open station tractors. You are getting soft with that new tractor. Lol I have an 8n and an NAA now, and have been using open station tractors to clear the drive for 20+ years now with a rear blade. Considering that probably needs to be done a dozen times a year or so and we have a reasonably long circular drive and misc. lane ways we keep clear to make it easier to tend to the animals, I have spent a lot of hours in the seat. I guess I could try and find a heat houser, but that would be about as good as it gets. I just bundle up. Some thoughts for you; I would take the time to get some paint on that blade and if you want to be fancy, wax it. That will help with it rolling off sooner, especially in wet snow. As for the circular portion, I sort of square it off in sections, because, as you've discovered, when you turn, the blade usually moves away from where you want it. I do not know if the snap coupler blade can rotate all the way around where you can push it to the rear, but any area on the gravel I want to really "clean up" or want a little more precision, I push to the rear. The circular drive is one of those. If it is on the lawn and I do not want to tear it up, I use the blade backwards. The top link (traditional 3 pt.) can control the aggressiveness of the blade and how it cuts to a point, but using the blade backwards is an easy way to avoid a lot of damage and spring clean up. And, yeah, chains. In my case, the rear tires are narrow enough I was able to double-up (two in series) some automotive chains I already had and have been using them for 20 years. Rarely get stuck (maybe once?) and that is without filled tires. If you clear enough snow you start to know where you want snow to be piled, where you do not want snow piled to avoid drifting and, of course, how to do it as quickly as possible. Snow was my excuse to even get a tractor. It is only a small fraction of what I need it for now, but an important one. Oh, I get the old Allis is living in the shop now, but I would recommend a battery tender if you are not already doing that.
Chains or Kold kutter ice screws (easier) can be put into the tires on the 2wd to improve your traction. You could also put weight on the back blade and get the snow out of the bucket, which is unweighting the rear.
Hello Looks good enough as you use it more things become better. That tractor should have a diff lock ??? You can also use the bucket to help push out. Hope you have a good day.
You have two brake pedals, one for either wheel or you slide a lock over and it brakes both wheels. Just brake the wheel that is spinning and the drive will be transferred to the wheel with traction
Spray some Pam cooking Spray on the blade will help a snow slide better and u can use less angle want to go to the outside first when you are moving snow when it's over 4 inches with a rear blade especially when you have a drop off because if u have to make serval passes u can lose the edge witch could be a bad thing
Use the bucket on the tractor to push yourself out. Also use the brakes so when one wheel spins locked out we’ll up so the other one bites. Also put a good set of wheel weights on it. You need those anyway because you have a Loader so when you’re picking up Stuff You have traction
Great video. Like to see the 60 year old tractor working hard.
I don’t even have to watch the video when you post I just automatically like it bc your vids are always the best
Keeping the blade polished or painted will help the snow slide off easier. I also coat mine with spray silicone before plowing snow. It really make a difference.
Great advice. The cheap silicon lube from the tractor store works as well as any I've tried.
A can of PAM will do the same thing....
Pushing snow outta the way is better expressly with a rear wheel drive tractor. And chains/weights would help a shit ton better. Lol
John Deere had the same idea in 1830s...
In spite of its little quirks, that's a COOL old tractor. I'm glad you're able to get good use out of it. Thanks for sharing!!
Beautiful pictures. Enjoy those dogs.
For years 4/4 was not available, now every one is spoiled. We enjoy your videos

Loved the hip work trying to get it out! Quite a workout lol! Always nice to have a second tractor…
Good job
Good evening, that snow sure is pretty in someone else's yard. Thank you for taking the time to video
I started following your channel becasue of the old AC tractor. I have a D 17 series 4 that I am rebuilding and hope to use in the next few years. Glad to see yors still being used. Love your channel!
from the Netherlands thanks for the video C.V.A.
I think there are separate locks that hold the wheel s from moving or out. Blade needs to be cleaned of rust and painted. Slick surface will move snow easier. A sway chain will keep tjhe blade from moving sideways.
If you don't want to paint the BB, then spray PAM on it. The snow wont stick to it.
@@swamprat69er I am sure Pam will make it taste better ha ha, thx great idea

Evan you've got to get a rear blade or front blade for the TYM AND PLOW IN A COMFORTABLE CAB!!! Always Love watching!
Soooo beautiful!! Thanks for sharing this. We're in South Louisiana, & never have the blessing of snow!! God bless y'all 💞

you need to put the locking blocks in place you need two one on each side. ran AC all my life. l always had chains. l be watchin!!!!
Farm looks so beautiful and peaceful with a layer of the snow and dogs where having fun in it too. Rebecca to the rescue at the end!!!!!

Lol ..... I was rocking with you trying to get out ... No luck ...
Thank for helping Rebecca... ☮️
Let's hear it for the Allis Chalmers. It was a good idea to wait for the weather to improve.
Great ole tractor. Enjoying your winter videos alot.
Considering what you have to work with the snow plowing went rather well. Nice work.
No worries about being stuck. I saw a Case Tractor pull out a John Deere Tractor out of a muddy field. Things happen . Great Farm Show, Evan 😎💯🇺🇸🚜🐃🐐🐖🤔☃️❄️🚜👀

That snow was perfect. Not too wet. Not too dry. It was just right. :-😉 Snowman snow!
Great video shots
Try lubricating the blade with cooking spray. It prevents snow and ice from sticking to the blade.
If it's clear behind the tractor you can actually use the bucket or forks of your loader tractor to "push" the tractor backwards. Handy little trick in a pinch.

Hola cómo estás Evan do you have a nice place very clean inside the barn very nice range are you hava y les mandó saludos a todos ustedes and I say hello to everybody from Santa Fe New Mexico
Great video and I think you’ll be surprised how much chains will help you.
Looks real good.😊
Evan, Look for a old Gallion Road Grader. One swipe and the drive is clean as a whistle and over with. Good video yes these tractors need chains. Thx for posting
11:04… the exact moment you can see that back left adjust itself out.
That's hard work for that old tractor! LOL For you too.
You should get some fiberglass snow plow markers-the kind that set well back from the driveway and have an arm that swings over to the driveway edge. Will save you running off the edge and won’t interfere with the plow blade.
Evan, you have advanced enough, that you don't have to fool with that AC!

You have some beautiful snow, you didn’t tell us you have opened up a car lot. Lol .
Allis does her job!! Go Allis
Looks like fun!
Got to love that tractor!
Good morning from Grand Forks
Wow so much snow. We do have snow in parts of New Zealand and I’ve never touch snow.
you two have done a really good job of building or rebuilding that farm.
On the tire coming out, you need to secure some wheel rail stops, I think the tractor probably had two wheel rail stops for each wheel when it was new,
Check it out, to get the wheel rail lock to work I had to take the frozen lock off the wheel, heat it up an get it loose,
Just my experience with my D14
Good job enjoy watching you work,
Très belle propriété et bien fait, bonne chance
Old Allis did pretty good. I always think of her as “old Alice”. She’s a pretty sweet ol gal.
our last bad snow I found a new computer monitor in a bag at the end of our lane by the mailbox instead of being brought to the house. Your finished job looked good.

You can put on kold kutter ice screws. Prepare to be surprised, and a lot less of a nuisance than chains. But chains work too.
Your braver than me with that bucket around those vehicles. I puckered up just watching...
I wish I'd get some snow in Nebraska I put some snow extensions on my extensions on my tracker on the bucket I wanna try out
You need 3 pt hitch back blade also grease the inside of the bucket w Pam so the snow don't stick
Keep up the hard work

Think how great it will be once you finally build a big warm garage to keep your vehicles out of the weather.
Just subscribed, I have a D17 series 2 and a JD 2210. Picking up a TYM 754 next week!
Cool dog have one just like it

Chains or Kold kutter ice screws (easier) can be put into the tires on the 2wd to improve your traction. You could also put weight on the back blade and get the snow out of the bucket, which is unweighting the rear.
Hello Looks good enough as you use it more things become better. That tractor should have a diff lock ??? You can also use the bucket to help push out. Hope you have a good day.
You have two brake pedals, one for either wheel or you slide a lock over and it brakes both wheels. Just brake the wheel that is spinning and the drive will be transferred to the wheel with traction
Evan was doing that. Look at the video.
Evan. You could have used the loader to push the tractor backwards. You are good with a welder, modify it into a 3 point hitch.
Spray some Pam cooking Spray on the blade will help a snow slide better and u can use less angle want to go to the outside first when you are moving snow when it's over 4 inches with a rear blade especially when you have a drop off because if u have to make serval passes u can lose the edge witch could be a bad thing
Hey Evan you need to put a bord under that back blade to keep it off your nice clean floor so you don't get any rust on the floor just saying have fun
What's a bord?

Use the bucket on the tractor to push yourself out. Also use the brakes so when one wheel spins locked out we’ll up so the other one bites. Also put a good set of wheel weights on it. You need those anyway because you have a Loader so when you’re picking up Stuff You have traction
I believe you did okay and the only thing I hate about the snow is when it melts it makes a sloppy Joe and leaves the ground so soggy
