I sure enjoy watching your videos young man...no swearing, hard working and humble! You are indeed blessed!
You need a set of jacks under the beaver tail of the trailer to use when loading and unloading the Bombardier, to prevent lifting the rear of your pickup truck . If you unloaded on uneven or hilly terrain there's a chance you truck could lose traction and runaway or twist sideways .
Amen.
You may really want to adjust the belt on the hydraulic pump. You can hear it squealing when you adjust the blade.
One of the cylinders has a intermittent miss and check your belts apparently the hydraulic pump is belt driven , I love that machine
Joe, when you plow an unfrozen ground keep the blade up an inch off the ground so you don't plow dirt and gravel off the driveway. After the ground freezes you can go all the way down but you will end up with an ice road in certain conditions. I always leave an inch or so, so there is snow left to get traction off of for cars with summer tires still on them. Good job, it sounds like a loose or bad belt in the engine may not be allowing the alternator to charge the battery totally. It sure beats shoveling by hand, or even a snow blower. I love your videos, we get to see inside lots of engines, thanks.😊
Me lol'n @ 1:38 "She fired right up"..that was about 10secs away from a dead battery.
IMO, that plow is a minimum of 3ft to small..the plow for my quad came @5ft, couldn't get nothing done, so i fab'd two sliding plow ends, now i can adjust it anywhere from 6ft - 9ft.
also gotta think about width for the trailer too.... cant go too big or he'll need to get a flat deck trailer.
@@Antiquefarmequipment If it was fab'd up similar to mine, the plow ends pull right out once the pins are pulled out, could just throw those sections into truck bed.
I noticed that too, I wonder how much he cut out of the video of it starting right up, also how he held onto the key once it started.
These were built to plow sidewalks, which is why they are so small.
@@skysthelimit866 Looks like the ones that the City of Montreal uses to push snow from the sidewalks onto the street during snow clearing operations. The City of Montreal doesn't just plow the streets and sidewalks, they actually remove the snow. I don't know how many other cities use these, but Montreal must have a few hundred of them. Still use them (probably more modern versions) to this day. Rugged little beasts (solid steel construction, and a pretty powerful diesel engine), and many of them use a PTO in the back, which can be used to attach a spreader for salt, sand/gravel, or a mix of both.
It looks like you have a new business plowing snow! When I was a kid, I had a dog that ran next to me everywhere I rode my bike. It made her so happy!
Joe , you really need to store the outboard motor near vertical so that any rain gathered in the lower gear casing/ Exhaust behind the prop will empty out on its own or bag up the prop to stop water getting into the lower case exhaust or else if it freezes you could easily find the ice splits the lower unit , seen that happen too many times
That thing will plow alot of snow..what a beast..
That was the best thing you could have bought Joe. What an absolute BEAST!
My thought exactly.
Super cool machine! I have an old Alice Chalmers tractor with the same carb. You can always tell by way they run. You can clean that emulsion tube out really good to an almost polished finish on the inside and it'll smooth that up some.
I remember when you first got that a bit ago, thought you were going to blow that poor old six cylinder as hard as you were running it :-)
Still hasn’t fixed the miss either
What a tank. Just needs wipers. Vinny was so awesome out there helping dad. Great loving and fun dog you have. Not many will do that.
Wow, again the variety, from dirt bikes, ATV's, Hovercraft, and the Tank Plow. No snow yet in the Twin Cities.
But boy did the cold move in fast 😢
Put a hose from the heater a let it blow on the windshield
Frosting up solved
@@partsguy444 Who is old enough to remember the original Beetle or Corvair, running dryer duct from the engine over your shoulder to defrost the windshield
Also there is a hole in the bottom centre of the windshield put a hand wiper on it
let's just grind the Bendix completely off the starter. suppose to let the key go when it starts smh
It's his he can do what he wants.
That's what I was saying lol
😂
LMFAO
Lighten up Francis....
I was so worried about Vinnie getting run over!
LOL reminds me of Cheech and Chong on "Big Bamboo" as two Dogs, one said "Hey man let's go chase some cars!" " NO man that'll give you brain damage!" "Huh... From the exhaust?" NO man... from the back tires!!" Vinny'll get hit and instincts kick in to be wary of moving things.
Where's the deep snow??
Now that's what I call a good day at work.
These are pretty neat, a friend of mine has 2 of them
Yo here wishing 20 seconds let gooo you guys are the best 🎉
That's only 4 inches of snow, what Blizzard??????? Don't run over V-I-N-N-Y!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What type of Dog is Vinny, he Rocks!!!!!!
When you're playing with that four-wheeler I have what they call a state plow when I bought my rhino I had my choice if you use one of them you would never use one of them regular plows like that when you're zipping down the driveway it just throws the snow way out to the side and it got a plastic mold boards so the snow doesn't stick to it, so if you have a chance to pick won up do it I guarantee you will love it oh keep up the great work Snow
I actually reached to move your hand when you were starting it. Poor bending lol. Sure plows nice.
Bendix
Is that the belt engaging the hydraulic pump squeaking?
I plowed for a long time. If it were me, i would plow with the blade straight...right down the middle, then angle the blade full right two passes, then left 2 passes. The entrance to the main road works better if you plow IN from the road to the driveway and leave yourself plenty of room to push the snow. You run out of room PRETTY QUICK. You will probably get as many opinions as you get comments. Just advising as to my experience plowing in far Northern Michigan for many years. Nice machine, brother. Wish i had that instead of a pickup truck. I had a BOSS angle plow, which was nice!
I came to the comments to say something very similar. I also plowed for forever and a day. I would start dead center at the road to the drive, blade straight, and go straight up to the house. no stopping. Then angle right, plow up the right side of the drive, and down the left, keeping that blade angled right. You can clear a drive pretty quick that way. when the drive is clear, back drag up by the house (or side drag/plow if you have room and catch the smaller areas. Make sure you push plenty far back from the edges so you room for the next snowfall (or three) because as Stephen said, you will run out of room for snow very quickly. 30 years in Iowa pushing snow... then I moved south so I didn't have to any more! Personally I'd be plowing with that Bombardier and seel that 4 wheeler plow. They are more of a pain to deal with and don't move snow near as quick as you think it should. THose blades are too small and tough to angle unless they have an electric blade.
A few LED light pods, defroster and windshield wiper and it's set for a day use.
You should rainx the window.
I think you just will have to get a snow blower hahaha the 4wheeler works, but the time it takes going over the same spots is crazy!
Joe, This a friend segesting you put a stirafome cover on camera microfone to stop the wind noise. Ive seen outdoor sports casters and others do this and it stops the wind noise. Thank ypu By the way I love your youtubes on buying and fixing restoring most motorized vechicycles. Keep up the good woek.
hey Joe, awesome job! maybe look into the charging system on that all big plow, should be charging when it's running. the heater should be looked at also, maybe look into a 12 volt one you can just put in and clear the windshield? A wiper is a must, get it done as soon as you can! cheers!
Ha Vinny towards the end in front of the 4 wheeler.. he's having SO much fun!! Great to see him enjoying the fruits of your labor!!
I challenge you to make a follow-up video this spring showing viewers the grass areas you plowed. I see alot of soil in that snow, I don't think you will be happy.
It’s a field that gets plowed under in spring it doesn’t matter
@@AdamHeartlandADV That's good. I thought that was the grassy area you normally would test the bikes on that you repaired.
Awesome machine 👍 Up here in Ottawa we got the snow storm too. They were mostly using little Hitachi tractors to clear the sidewalks, but they do have a few Bombardier snowcats as well. Similar to Joe's except they are painted orange. Cheers from Canada :-)
Great video, rumbling through the woods of that driveway on a snow day. Keep up the hard work, subs are skyrocketing
I love that Bambi,could really use it for my 1300 ft. driveway if you would ever think of parting with it? I have installed wipers on equipment similar to what you have ,JC Whitney carries a nice little wiper motor & wiper setup for old Willy’s Jeeps works perfectly for a flat mount like on the Bombi. You can install one to cover the middle of the windshield in fact I think I saw mounting holes already there above the windshield for such a motor! As far as defrost you already have cab heat so all you need is a 6” 12volt fan aimed at the windshield,the cab heater will take care of the rest! That Bombi looked cold out in that field I have a heated empty stall in my garage. Hint Hint!
I remember I was in a blizzard once. Could not see the palm of my hand when my arm was extended. As luck would bring it we brought a map and compass and were able to make it into the forest again, where we would seek shelter from the wind and regain normal sight - for just about 50 feet. Anyway, glad you made it out, and keep uploading great content. More vintage bikes pls :)
You’ve got an awesome channel. Hope mine gets to where yours is at one day. Good luck luck Mate !
With the BEAST , Tighten or replace hydraulic belt, it’s going to break . You have a misfire as well, if that’s gas use your choke with cold startups, if diesel check glow plugs or throttle heater, you have extended cranking on startup. Check all your charging systems connections / fuses for corrosion free and tight.
Vinny!! What a partner in crime, lol. Once you get comfortable with that french machine, it will be much easier. Plus alot faster on your place also👌
I would suggest adding a rotating yellow/amber beacon light on top for safety. It can be hard to see a slow moving vehicle in heavy snow
He is in the middle of a field!who's gonna be driving threw other than a deer crossing smh.
You need a fan belt replaced, and/or tightened. Nice little rig, and it runs well.
My dad worked for a trucking company when I was a kid and they had a much older Bombardier snow plow. It fit one person and the cab flipped up in order to to get in.
New promotion, lucky subscribers driveway plowed. North Woods beautiful scenery. 2Vinny "my turn to drive"
Nice
Next film mowing your yard or painting the house...
Also with the BEAST , when you were first driving in the field, small puffs of steam were visible, coupled with the misfiring, be cautious of head gasket issues.
Guess Vinny is getting a bath tonight!
You need to angle that plow (ATV) start in the middle of the driveway plow snow towards the edge of your driveway at the end turn around and plow up , much cleaner job . My quad has a 6 foot plow on it
That thing is badass ! I wonder how it will do when it gets deep?
Just got done with the Mercedes Benz Unimog 406... I use a rear, articulating blade. Great video!
You can use just about any wiper motor to have a wiper
You should modify that thing to except a tracked trailer,, and turn it into an off road bugout camper for hunting, or just camping even.😁
That thing reminds me of an armored personnel carrier. That’s a beast. And heated drivers compartment! Luxury dude.
That thing is a beast!
I'll bet Vinn slept good after! Lol dags are the best!
Cool vid! Rubber tracks are a must 4 pavement. Vinnie is the best!
I'm to your south in Iowa with quite a bit of snow and I was wondering how long it would take before you got all your winter toys out
To your north St Paul MN, just a dusting so far this winter, but snow and cold is coming
Thats a SW48, Bombi Sidewalk cleaner, meant for long jobs vs large space jobs. Thats why the plows so small.
Great video. I'm not sure who had more fun, you or your dog :D Take it easy. Cheers.
That yellow beast is one hell of a machine, bit cleaning, freshen up paint, new windshield, damn that would be awesome.
With all that work you did to that boat and your just letting it sit there with no cover? Come on man its such a nice boat...
That's the free boat that still needs the floor redone. The boat I put a lot of work into is covered.
He did the same thing with this plow too. The guy he bought it from babied that thing and now he leaves it in a rat infested field
@@buddino1you sound jealous
That’s the cool thing about buying your own shit, you can do whatever you want with it
That boat is 50 years old. We had the exact same as a kid, orange.
Bro is just vibing in his mini tank. He is living the dream.
I want this lmao I would plow my driveway without snow 😂
It fired right up!! LOL!!
Nice job plowing a corn field.
Got to love Vinnie.
Joe if you’re only plowing with that quad sell it and put a decent used plow on your pick up.
I plow, the side to side control and up n down is so much better. Go down the Center from the top to each side after back blading in front the garages. Will take you 15 min and you won’t be chasing the lines left over after.
Then you can plow some driveways for extra cash. Charge by the season not per clearing.
That thing is Badass!!!
Vinny working hard to make sure your doing it right.
'Bomb-ber-deer' was the guy who aimed bombs during the war... You own a, 'Bom-bar-dee-ay' snow plow. It's French Canadian.
💯
I have decided @ 27:38 that this thing isn't gonna last to long that way it's being reved out like this, i think the entire machine is being treated to harshly plowing at these speeds..something's going to give in under 2weeks..
you gotta give it throttle to move.... its made for it.
I said the same thing! Idk if it has more than 1 gear but if it does he should try taking off and plowing in 2nd gear instead of 1st! It's not good to redline all the time like that they were not built for that...🤔
He wasn't "giving it throttle" he was held wide open there not built for that much redline, he needs to shift it!..
@@matthewryan1544 she sounded like he was giving it throttle to me. 🙄
@@matthewryan1544 Play 27:31-28mins..that poor thing is sputtering & screaming for mercy ! Nothing is meant for that..
I have the exact same gloves and jacket you are wearing in this video. Great minds... And great video BTW 🙂
It's pretty powerful for such a small machine.
Love it, like a small unit for whoever compared to a fullsize one. It looks so fun to have i be like winter please come faster just to take it out.
I used to plow lease roads with a Cat D6T-XL. Good time skating side to side on the steel tracks.
Good show keep up the good work 👏👍🎉
nice machine [like my block heater (so does the engine)]
I usually wait until there is enough snow to plow tho. at least 3 or more inches.
it is great to know its working :)
Vinny is fearless
What a unit!!
That's an awesome machine.👌
Nice bitta kit 🙂🙂🙂
So badass… I want one 👍
Nice machine Joe does a good job the vinster loves the snow lol 👍👌🐾🐾🦴🦴🔧🔧🔧
That's a tank! Sweet find
You have the coolest toys and you have earned each one.
A good beast for plowing through
nothing like snow plowing the field!
how much was your house? its beautiful! looks o be about 350k+ !
More like 950k
Wow, that little thing is awesome. I see Vinnie the foreman is inspecting your work.
That thing is cool af
This thing is neat
That thing is badass❤❤❤
Great job
That poor little inline 6 didn’t know it was capable of those RPMS till this guy got it 😂
Outboard on boat needs a trans saver on it, please cover it, when that melts, can get in there rot out, not yo mentione the filth, looks like there's a few things that I'd like to suggest you cover, thought u were gonna toast that starter on the bombardier, on still crank when it was running. Got lucky there. And figured it was off getting g sand blasted and restored. May want to think about a tach and gear oil temp sensor. Parts are hard to come buy. Wish I could be a bit more positive post. Sorry.
Wonder how the heat does in it lol, love the snow content, I like seeing the quads in the snow tho, maybe have a contest with the 4x4 ones but put em in 2x4 n see how they do, fresh coat or 2 of paint on the plow makes a diff too, helps the snow slide off better instead of wanted to stick
Joe the best thing for pushing WHITE GOLD ( snow ) is call CAT LOADER 950 to 998B with a blade and wing . 😊
Yes they treat the roads too salt in them condition around my area, but the sidewalk is like sn ice ring, remember falling twice on it in 2021 on foot.
I hope u keep that thing 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Sounds like you have a loose belt on the snowplow machine
Ooohh big blizzard 4 inches of snow 😁
Watching from central Florida, and I'm cold. lol
