Thinking on tearing down the ve pump since I can't find anything else causing the lope it has. Is there anything to look for as far as parts that will typically be worn out at 300k?

I don't know but it keeps me busy plowing instead of making the truck faster :x

I haven't plowed at all this winter. We have only got a few inches of snow this winter mostly it's been just rain.

It hasn't been terrible here either. But enough to make it a pain the the azz, truck only has 2wd currently. That and working the kinks out of the homemade plow

I noticed the plow ran off a winch and wondered if it was Armstrong angle. As long as it works, that's the important thing!

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.

It works good enough! I just do my driveway with it. Made out of scrap & only have about 150$ into it. 3000 lb winch from tractor supply works very well.

Put an order through for some 6x13s from THD. Hoping they take care of my loping issue. Probably render my torque converter useless :mrgreen:

Rumor has it we may see some flakes of that white stuff on Sunday but with the current temps I'm sure it will melt as soon as it hits the ground

I'll believe it when I see it. It was 61 degrees today.
