What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

  Made sure my plow rig was ready for tomorrow’s possible snow event. Won’t be a deep snow but still needs to be cleared off the driveway. 
  One headlight…but like most of ya’ll I have spare old/used ones kicking around. 
  My 510-8, half the horsepower but twice the dependability!!!

Last night I put an electric fuel pump on the 855 and still had issues. It only ran for about a minute before dying and refusing to re-fire. I worked on it for another hour before giving up, tired, cold, and mad. I messaged @ebinmaine and got some advice that got me going in the right direction.

 

New spark plug and now it runs again.

Swapped a few things around here. 

Workhorse GT1800 outta the workshop space. That's staying by the firewood until @OldWorkHorse gets a day to stop by. 

After Millie was done plowing snow she went in the workshop. Millie needs both belts. S/G and main drive. Gotta diagnose why it's already eaten a main drive belt. May be normal usage. May be a burr on the belt guard. 

 

Also did some experimentation with the Super Scooper on the front of my '75 C160 Automatic. 

I've posted a video in the Implements Section. 

 

Got The Ugly Bruce tractor out for a bit to play in the snow too.

Started another fuel pump rebuild. This one came off of the C160. Will let this soak until my kit gets here. Still cant get over how much junk is in these fuel pumps. Was going to try and just clean pump out and put back together but tore diaphragm right when I was almost done taking apart

 Picked up these rubber tire chains at this summers Wheel Horse Show. Anyone use them? Thoughts? 
  Might set up a second plow rig with these on it, see how they “grip”
