LOL, #FirstWorldLittleTractorProblems  

My 1 bottom moldboard plow barely fits my 750... If I lift it all the way, it's maybe an inch off the ground.  🙂

I wonder if it will fit better off the quik attachment, it looks like the the top might pull in enough so that the blade cants out more

Disconnect the top link and use a bungie cord to hold it closer to the tractor for transporting. Then remove the bungie cord and put the top link back in for use.

Filled the tires last night. All it took was a transfer pump I already owned, some fittings, short hose, and an valve stem adapter made for such a thing, linked below. Oh, and 21 gallons of -20 degrees windshield washer fluid.

Fill the tires, fill them up with air to the right PSI, and you are good to go.

I didn't drive it after filling the tires but will take it for a spin later this week. This should help when clearing snow off of the driveway with the back blade and lifting larger loads in the bucket.

I just went over the 200 hour mark so I may change fluids and do some maintenance during the winter. I will make a new post when all of the parts get here, but I am going to heat and insulate (better, not fully) our garage. With a heated garage I don't think I need to worry about the tractor being warm enough in winter.
