Let it snow Let it snow

That's a smart tie in to the commercial pressure washing DJ. Probably can get customers from both ends. I did it years ago the snow removal that is.

Good gig for a young buck like you.

Steven you'll get over it after about a week of this stuff. Every year everyone has to be re-trained on how to drive on snow. I hate it but my friend with a wrecker service and body shop loves it. I'd miss snow like a toothache.
 
Haha, I didn't know what the hell that thing was!
 
My brother worked for a company that rebulds transmissions for Ford and Chevrolet as a factory service. They loved snow because every body in the world tried to plow snow in drive eating up transmissions transfer cases and rear and front differentals giving them months of work.
He said they could not keep front end bushings for Fords from nuckle heads plowing into curbs speed bumps and trying to push a foot of snow with a 250 pick up.
They had a wall of pictures showing how gears and torque converters were discolored from being burned up from misuse by plow guys.
Guess the word to the wise is be carefull and take your time.

Are you saying he should have bought a chevy?
 
No he dealt with all Ford driveline systems mainly and Chevy transmissions but no other parts.
The universal destructor of all of them were snow plows or more precisely fools trying to go fast plowing snow and destroying the drivle line and front suspensions
 
A good friends son did the snow plow on his late model F-250 a couple of years ago. Smoked the tranny the first season. I think it was over $5K at a Ford stealership. That on top of the cost of the plow will take a while to start making money. It's not a Ford or Chevy thing it's an abuse thing. That's why most snow plow contractors up here use subcontractors. They can tear up their own stuff. When they break just get another sub off their list. The trucks will take it, you just can't cowboy them.
