The Old Ford Plow

We finally got a nice dump of snow.  We received at least a foot of snow over the past two days and we are thrilled about it.  The only problem is, with the snow comes the necessity to clear it out of the drive.  Which means firing up the old Ford plow truck.  After having to change the solenoid for the plow, of course, because the plow had stopped raising and lowering.  Thankfully, changing the solenoid did the trick.  The plow does not turn left and right anymore.  Hasn't done that for a couple years now.  No heat in the cab.  The headlights on the truck work some of the time.  The headlights on the plow don't work at all.  The brakes are almost non existent.  No power steering.  The driver's door is almost rusted off.  People stop during the summer to see if they can pick the truck up for scrap, and are always surprised when we tell them its our functional (kinda) plow truck.  But it almost always starts, since we changed the engine out in it a couple years ago, and it ultimately almost always gets the job done.  Don't worry, it never leaves the yard, it would be a deathtrap on the road!

Plowing almost always gets done after dark around here.  That's when there's usually more time to do it.

Gotta have the windows open to see, because there's no working blower for defrosting, and he's gotta dress warm, because of no heat.

Can't really scrape the windshield too much because its severely cracked, and we're afraid if it gets scraped too hard, it'll shatter.
