The only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

You could punch it out from the backside. Just be careful not to dimple the cap. I'm a big advocate of electric pumps, especially on the rear tank tractors. Here's a question and thought on a vacuum pulse pump. It came to mind looking at @CD Long Jr 's tractor. There's the vac pump mounted on the engine but clearly well above the fuel level. I would think that mounting it lower would be much better. What about mounting it back by the tank? Say in the cavity to the left of the tank with only 5-6" of fuel line from the tank? It only makes sense that the vac-pulse pumps push better than pull. The big question is will the pulse still be OK running a vac line that far? Seems to me it would but.... It could be a good alternative to an electric with the only down side is the engine would need to be running in order to move fuel. -
I had a 76 B80 w/ a snowplow! That thing used to love climbing hills and pushing snow!! That thing was unstoppable!! Good tractor!!

CD long. Find a thin long shaft screwdriver. Gently start moving in a corner that you can get the screwdriver in and go all the way around fairly easy done it many times. Maybe put a towel down on the floor because if you can’t catch it when it will land on something soft.. So it won’t dent the cap.Enjoy the project. I personally would put an electric fuel pump on that because of the gas tank being in the rear. My first wheel horse was a 312 A and it had that rear fuel tank. Took forever to get fuel up to the carburetor. Don’t buy the cheap ones spend a few dollars and buy a good one. I think we had a discussion about this already not sure. Have a good day. It looks like you may have a leakey axel seal on the right side by the picture showing the gas tank. -

Uh Nope. Last weekend was a half inch sheet of ice. Never experienced that here. Temperatures plummeted and superficial ground freezing. No power loss.. knock knock Soft two inches here. (soft meaning scant 2 and light fluffy snow) @kpinnc I am not familiar with Richfield sir. you must be west of me? I could ask the webs. The square is about the only web I use. This may be here a hot minute. More to possibly come this following weekend. Stores are still cherry picked with these dips here. I am kinda boy scouty and most Americans have more than enough food. The hoarding of it here I do not prescribe to. We (Raleigh) I am outside the city were in a strange radar bubble. East and West most certainly got a Lot more snow Stay safe out there!

What have I done to my Wheel Horse today?

Excellent. A steal for $400. The P216 is a great engine when properly maintained. -
We got 10" a week ago. It's been so cold we still got the 10 on the ground! Nothing has even turned to ice. No melting at all.

My game plan for the 416H over the next few days is to remove the hub caps, (how do I remove the hub caps? (Without damaging them, I've seen them listed for $200 & up}, install 55 lb. rear wheel weights, cut to fit the front tire chains chains, (they're off a Sears lawn tractor), & install the dozer blade. I have ordered V bar chains for the rear wheels. Rear axle bracket & new Diehard battery were installed yesterday. Axle bracket is 3-1/4 inch to the right from the housing. She's gonna need a good pressure washing in the spring. I remove all the debris I could with my air compressor & 12 inch blow nozzle. -
You got a plow all set up?

There's obviously a lot of them around but search: Tim Ahlborn He's a pro level builder for decades now. Travels the country and sets up displays for commercial places like Peterbilt !! That's what glasses and magnifiers are for young man. I have to use reading glasses for anything close. I definitely am overdue for an eye 👁 doc visit but haven't had a serious need for normal life reasons. For this hobby..... I may find the time.

My condolences. Way too young. I had a nasty grandfather that almost made it to a hundred. Your loss is painful. The Lord scoops up the good. Well documented All my best to you and your loved ones.

I used to build alot of scale helicopter models. Even had a few planes as well. That is a hobby like all of them I guess. How far down the rabbit hole you go is directly related to how much money and time you want to put into it. Some folks can create models that are so realistic that they are difficult to distinguish from the real thing. Nowadays my eyesight just doesn't work well enough for that level of detail. But I did enjoy it while I was doing it!

Well it finally stopped around 1:30AM. I decided to measure a few spots and it fluctuates between 10 and 13 inches. For central North Carolina, that is huge. As I said before it's been 20+ years since we had snow like this. I'm gonna just have to drag out a tractor or two tomorrow and play in it!

So sorry for your loss....

Thank You to Everyone. I really found out at this week how blessed we are. From old co-workers, the local community, and the WH guys, just Aces. Butch was a wheel horse guy, (imagine that), a 310-8 magnum (and others ). He had a plow on it and did use it. When I went to his home place to start straightening up, the 310 was in the middle of the garage in a puddle of water, chains on the ground laying in front of it. Later, checking his cameras, I seen him pushing snow and spinning a lot. He got 2/3's of it done with the 310, and good enough. I figured he could not stand it and had to get the shovel out for finishing touches. Like Mike said do what you can and back off when necessary. Good advice. yes

@c-series donthere was one in January at the Lebanon Expo Center, I wanted to go, but opted to avoid a large crowd right before my surgery. Same location where Josh Draven’s tractor show is in February. You would definitely enjoy a Cabin Fever show,

Holee molee Batman we got a bleeping buch of snow! I haven't seen this much since 1999, when we got over 20 inches. We are now at 10 to 12 inches, and it's still snowing! We usually get wet heavy snow but this stuff is powder. I've never seen that here in NC before. And the first day we are supposed to get above freezing is Tuesday. Even then only about 40 degrees. I hope to get some better pics tomorrow but this was 5 hours ago:
