Hopefully it is not a painful family issue, if it was me, I would have needed a break a long time ago. I need to install the Snow Blower on my tractor this week and I dread it, what use to take me a couple of hours now takes two days removing the front end loader, greasing everything and installing the Mid PTO Shaft, front mount and then the blower. After that, I think I will be ready for the season.Having followed this thread since it started, I would have taken several breaks. Took me over three years to do a frame off restoration of my 75 Scout II only to have it wrecked by an idiot driving a Ford Exploder on the snow, hit the lady in front of him and spun out and crossed four lanes to destroy my baby. Just because he had four wheel drive, he must have thought he was invincible. Must have not realized we have had four wheel brakes on cars & Trucks since the 30's. Anyways, glad to hear you are still around and still planning to finish. If it was me, I would be waiting until this upcoming spring to get back at it.
