Got the 36 Ford done.
This the fitting that just fell out of the cheap fuel pump that was mounted to the firewall, guess that could have actually made it a firewall.

I wouldn't trust it with a pipe fitting.
As far as just being a transfer pump, I'm not sure this flathead is much more that just big lawnmower engine anyway.

So James, tell us how your snowplow worked out for your suburban? I know you were talking about being nice and warm while you were blading how did it work?
Or is it too cold to leave your little space heater?
I put my heavy gloves on my coveralls on and my four wheeler and blade worked fantastic! Less than 30 minutes and I was done. Went over the neighbors and did his in about 10 minutes. He sure did appreciate it!

You missed a spot down here.
You can stop by 3500 Scott Boulevard any time with that setup 
.
I spent a few hours these past few days with a commercial snow blower. I measured about 50,000 square feet of snow moved a few feet at a time.
It was cold (near zero) but the Sun was out, so that made it bearable. Fun, eh?

Tom K. I have an older diesel grasshopper mower with a snowblower attachment. That unit will move a lot of snow if it's less than ten inches deep.
For the 4 foot or deeper drifts we get here there is a snowblower with two 4 foot fans. Works ok if you got 180 hp tractor on it.

I have had a Massey Ferguson four-wheel-drive with a blade and loader, I’ve also had a Kabota with a blade and loader. This Polaris four-wheel-drive 500 mL with a super winch on the front and a 4 foot blade will move more snow than both those running wide-open together! The only downfall is there’s no cab. I have a buddy who has a Polaris ranger with a cab that Has a 4 foot blade on his. Only problem is his vision is a little blocked. If I would’ve had this set up when I was a teenager I could’ve bought a brand new car and paid cash for it in one winter!
James, better get that blade on! More snow tomorrow!!!

James I know we got another 3 inches of snow today, I hope you can get out because my new Calvert split mono leave springs will be here for my Nova Friday or Saturday. Weather supposed to be in the 40s this weekend! Hope you can get out of your driveway when I get ready to install these bad boys in the Beater Nova! I’m sure I will need a little supervising, the good news is when I put the cal tracs on I put all new hardware and everything and then so it should be easy to get a part. I also got stock ride height springs.

The 4x4 still works. 
I wouldn't live in Iowa without a snow plow.what's a snow plow...
I keep my plow on the front of my guy's tonner truck. Drive is probably 200yards....60 bucks. No way I'll own something for that......
You need you an old gravely. I've blown snow on top of my roof before with these things, complete animals but don't let your animal get caught in it there's a reason they call them a dog eater.You can stop by 3500 Scott Boulevard any time with that setup
