Bob, sorry to hear that but at least you know how to fix the plow. Mine worked great the few times I used it before I blew the engine. Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the motor. It's going to cost $250 to machine it(bore, deck the block, shave the head, replace the valve guides) and then $180 for parts. I'm thinking about putting it back together with bubble gum and duct tape and hope for the best. Or buy another tractor and part out this one. Being laid off is not fun!
