We got about six inches of snow overnight. Driveway had to be plowed. It's double gated and the gates don't work right with too much snow build up. It doesn't take a husky or 12 long to notice a potential weak spot in the gates! Since no one else showed up to do it(which is a whole different rant and will tick my husband off to no end), I fired up my ol' ATV and went to do it myself.
I got the driveway done more or less and was clearing a few paths in the yard when disaster struck! Wouldn't go into reverse, would go into first gear, but not move, made this nasty clicking noise, and some lovely blue smoke! ARGH!! I had to call a neighbor to come help me push it into the shop. He thinks I blew the transmission!
Granted it's an old machine and doesn't owe me a thing, but I need it! I do all kinds of stuff with it, actual work and dog stuff! I don't think I've ever used it just to go riding around! Now I'm going to have to call a bobcat company to clear the yard at 60 bucks an hour! I hope Stuart can fix it when he gets home. The dogs will be miserable in the summer/fall without the ATV to train with!
