Yes they did. There is about every variation of the FC150/FC170 that you can think of, and several you probably have never thought of. To keep it on topic and relevant, hows these?:
How about an old jeep.
For those of you who have unfrozen or stone driveways. I found this idea for font end loaders over on tractorbynet forums. I took a 3" black ABS pipe and cut through one side on the table saw. Just force the pipe over the cutting edge of the loader. This has worked very well with just skiming over the stones and dirt drive. It has last longer than I thought it would. I have done 6 200' drives the past 4 snow falls and is still useable. Don't back drag it will come right of but pushing and dumping it stays on. I hear it works well on back blades too.
Curling the bucket all the way back and setting it to "float" works too. I am always amazed at the amount of damage some plow operators cause.
I have a gravel driveway, 2000feet and just adjust the plow a little, once there are some packed snow track the skids just ride along but i can just adjust when needed and dig up very little rock. Customers with gravel are amazed at how i don't destroy it like all the other plowers.... we would have to rake rock back in all summer after they drop and go 30mph up and down.... only problem this year is there aint #### for snow.
Listed in order from favorite to least favorite:
-Case 7130 4wd Tractor w/ blade and front loader (used this quite a bit this winter for drift bustin)
-Case 60xt skid loader
-Honda 300ex 4wd
-And of course, the epa-approved snow shovel
Man I'd love to have a Magnum here, but I sure can't justify 140+HP on 80 acres. If you've got pics or videos, post them here!
what do you remove snow with.
a wife.

I use my 4020.
That is a very pretty 4020 you have there. Looked at one 10 years ago a guy had for sale for $6,000. It was in semi-running condition. Wish I had it now. I appreciate the older tractors more and more.
Looks like you're in the middle of a restoration. Very nice job. How many total hours on the machine? Did you rebuild the motor?
Got some rep. coming your way.
