September reminds us that winter is coming.  Good time to think about reversing your battery so you get heat and not AC.

And don’t forget to change the air in your tires from summer air to winter air.

[DJ194950]

How can I do that now? I forgot to store some from last winter. ?  What if last winter was quite warm overall?  Recommended  air temp. to save for next year?

 

I guess I will post a wanted ad in the classified to see if anyone has extra for sale?  ?  We may have to import some from Canada if the west coast of US stays this warm!

 

DJ- I think that is who I am today?

[NickPickToo]

Heater?  I understand that we're buying extra blankets

[knuckleharley]

Good idea!

 

Thanks for the tip!

Check your brakes also before winter and remember to put on the brake socks....gotta have brake shoes and socks for winter.  Oh, I don't get extra blankets....I just get extra mufflers.

Each fall change the headlight fluid, grease the muffler bearings, rotate the brake shoes, add a little glycol to the fuel tank, check the water-pump timing, re-set the dwell on the float, swap out air for nitrogen in the tires, and change the dust bag on the vacuum wipers.  These tasks will keep you busy for over the winter. Next thing you’ll know it’ll be spring and time to reverse all the damage again!

Well I do remember my dad draining the radiator, mixing us some cocktail of water, alcohol, and anti corrosion chemical, changing the summer thermostats for a winter one, hanging his home made old piece of carpet winter front, pulling out his chains, straighrening then out and soaking the clamp ends in oil.  He always made an appointment for the Friday after Thanksgiving to go down to the local tire recapper to have his walnut shell iron filling and sawdust impregnated Polar grip snow tires mounted. And then the next day the Sae 30 got dumped for some fresh sae10.  New windshield wipers were part of the plan also.

Don't forget the anti-stick snow spray. Don't want snow sticking all winter.

[Plymouthy Adams]

and people still ask...why do you live in the south......most obvious don't you think...

[pflaming]

Adams, Who would want to have armadillos for pets, in any season, or have to switch the stoves from the porch twice a year? 

[Tooljunkie]

My old vehicles get tucked in for the winter. A well deserved rest.

in the south, we call that a SPRAY of sunshine....

[Booger]

Drought and fires out west. Heat and hurricanes in the south. Snow and cold in the north. Paradise is a nice running Plymmie

remember to put some boiling water into the radiator so the antifrezze does not freeze.
