Greetings everyone! It has been a while since I have written. I usually read while at work occassionaly but haven' been able to write :sorry:

.A good snowy Saturday afternoon with a :starbucks:

here in northern New Hampshire. Sick of the snow, over 100 inches so far this season. Good seat time though! I am attempting to attach some pictures of my 1528 MF I purchased last March. Been a great machine so far! Gear drive with FEL and loaded R4 tires. I have enjoyed reading everyone's post and enjoy the puns especially toward the western Mass :starbucks:

drinker who shall go nameless. :yum:

I read most of the tractor sites and by far this is the best. I have a question, when I do my trans fluid change and bleed the new stuff off does it include the FEL when I bleed using the recommended procedure from my manual? Thanks in advance! :wink:

Here are my pics I hope.I will keep in touch. Dennis[/ATTACH]

Welcome Dennis... Brrrr, I'm getting cold just lookin at all that white stuff on the ground behind you!
Nice looking massey you got there..

California · Mar 1, 2008

Welcome aboard Dennis! :tiphat:

That's a nice looking rig.

We love to see pictures, and you are off to a great start!

I'll leave a definitive answer for your fluid change question to anyone who knows more than I do, but it is my impression that the ordinary drain is sufficient, regardless of an attached FEL. At least that's how I do it.

Welcome Dennis!

Doc · Mar 1, 2008

Hi Dennis,
Glad you joined up and posted. Good pics.
My understanding is the same as CA's. But I'll differ to someone who knows Massey's.
Enjoy and post often.

PBinWA · Mar 1, 2008

Welcome to NTT! Nice looking MF!

firejake · Mar 1, 2008

nd Doc, thanks for the welcome, I have read a lot from this site and it is the BEST! Dennis

firejake · Mar 1, 2008

I think I lost some of my post! Thanks California, that's what I thought. Quincy, my daughter inlaw is from County Offlay, any where near you? The rest was for Jim and Doc, Thanks! Dennis

Doc · Mar 1, 2008

Hey Dennis, just so you know, on all posts you make you have 60 minutes to edit them, just in case you forget something or notice a mistake ...or if half of the post disappears.
No problem with your followup, that works also, but I figued you would want to know about the edit possibilities.

firejake · Mar 1, 2008

Thanks DOC! Dennis

Welcome to NTT :tiphat:

:

There are a lot of "interesting", but friendly members here :respect:

. I am also from the MA/NE membership and I do love the fuu-fuu :starbucks:

, but I brew my own. I have not had quite as much snow as you (~84"), but after awhile it becomes relative. I am starting to run out of room as to where I am going to put the snow (without more seat time

). Nice looking rig

Powerking56 · Mar 2, 2008

Very nice looking MF!! I agree, we have run out of places to put snow
in my yard in S.W. New Hampshire. 6" more inches Friday night and yesterday am. My blower wont throw it high enough to get it up on the bank and I can barely do it with a shovel!! :pat:

It needs to do some serious melting here.

I'm ready for the sap to run!!

firejake · Mar 2, 2008

Yeah! Just shoveled my roof, 3 feet on a house 40 x 24 gambrel with full shed dorm in the back. Snow banks over my head. Been a long time since we had a winter like this. Thanks for the welcome! Dennis

bdoss · Mar 2, 2008

Dennis,

Nice RED snowscoop you have there!

I always loved MFs. That is,... before Mahindra came along. I can't answer your question. But I will try to remember to ask my Mahindra/MF dealer's salesman. Yes, they sale REDand RED. :yum:

I might see him tomorrow.
Do you have anything on back when you are moving the white stuff?
hugs, Brandi

Mark777 · Mar 2, 2008

Like your rig and the pictures aren't too shabby either

BE CAREFUL WHEN ON THE ROOF...over on the TBN...Robert FELL OFF his roof and got dinged!!!

Oh yeah...Welcome to the Zoo...

Bindian:

Thanks, I haven't had to add any weight to the rear yet, my tires are weighted and seem to do the trick. If the snow gets heavy I have to scoop more often though. Paul, thanks for the concern, it is always risky on a roof, at least the snow banks are high enough to break a fall I hope.

firejake · Mar 3, 2008

bdoss and mark: :wave:

Thanks for the welcome. bdoss, I don't know what is worse hot humid or a lot of snow? Less shoveling in hot humid. Sick of the snow now. I will update my pictures soon to show the difference. Dennis

FireJake wote:

answer--- You don't shovel HOT HUMID ! :yum:

then again-- you don't have to mow your yard 12 months a year.....
Our 'snow' is hard - golfball sized- and does a LOT of damage! :pat:

.

I've been to your part of the country (back when Digital Equipment was still around -- Man I'm old!) - BEAUTIFUL part of America... I've been a Texan all my life and was amazed to see snow in the White Mountains in JUNE--

Was 80 degress here yesterday- will be 29 degress tonight and the S-word is predicted. Won't have to worry about shoveling-- It'll be gone by 10 AM... :wink:
