Found this from some years back. Fall trip to Riudoso NM from El Paso. It was probably 75 on the desert floor. Then went though the tunnel and this!

Mild here in Western Washington. Mid 40s to 50 or so. Went out on a date with the Mrs on Saturday and we drove the woodie wagon. With the mild weather I have been down in the shop after dinner playing with my cut down '30 AA doodlebug. This thing has been a blast and so easy to work on. It had been used in a shingle mill to skid logs. Hope these photos bring a smile to your face. It's not like we never get snow here, but we won't this year because I recently fabricated a snow plow set up for my old case skidsteer........

Now, don't let the snow get you down. Unless you are in this spot. Then, you can only wait for the airdrop or spring.

cool doodlebug. I have a pto unit and levers for my truck. Pto runs a hydrophilic box I'm guessing? Not sure if that's the way to go or dropping a 3sp in.



Neat bug. like it

Big roller chain coming up through the floorboards off the pto. then into the three speed tranny for the winch. It has 3 speeds fwd and neutral and reverse.. Been pulling junk outa the weeds with it this morning. Every morning when my wife goes to work, my mantra is... I'm gonna go to work in the cabinet shop..... But alas the doodlebug siren draws me in........ Yesterday I wired up a 12 v yellow flashing light so I can go like a tractor down the road and visit my buddies, and yes I have the 'slow moving vehicle triangle' as well.

I live in the Chicago area--cold weather don't stop me from driving my 1937 Ford. If there is no snow on the ground or salt on the roads, I will drive my Ford. The coldest temp I drove my 1937 Ford was about 25 degrees. No heater. Here I am after driving my Ford on Christmas day 2018.
