Yeah old school! I run a pulley slightly larger than the body of the pump and it's adequate at idle. I'd had trouble with slowness and even no pressure at idle but that went away when I replaced the pump. I have the round Fisher pump unit.

Check out the social group I just saw, snow plowers.

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/groups/

More new features I have not had time to check out yet.


I was out digging mud today.
We were supposed to have bad thunderstorms Friday, so we did not work since the sewer line we are installing is so deep.

A 12 foot deep ditch is not the place to be when it is raining.

First go to "User CP"
Then under "Networking"
click "Social Groups"
And the list will be displayed

Right after I read this, I looked out the window and we had about 1/2" of snow, but the precip had already turned to sleet.
So I hit the rack incase I had to plow this morning, but when I got up to check the only thing we had was ice.

Warmer now so everything has melted.

MUD? It was -31c here last night.... It's been a lackluster snow year here, because it's been too cold, not too warm. I've had to plow my route maybe 10 times total so far...

I probably plowed that many times here.

With the salt shortage, this winter we had to plow when we normally would have just salted heavy and let it melt.

Well we got another 3 or 4 in last night and it's still falling.
The city has been hauling snow like crazy the last couple of days.
