I use my FEL and back blade to move snow around my place and when I need extra traction I put chains on my front axle.

We have snow on the ground. I have plowed the driveway once so far and the over night low was zero a couple of days ago. We need more snow or the frost line will go down, freezing pipes. I would love to send our weather your way. I don't want to hear any complaints about low 50's, would love to have a nice warm day like that!

It would seem to me that a locked rear axle would put extra stress on the drive line in general and the front axle being the weaker component would be the first to fail.

The pour point blend of diesel fuel varies by state and winter months. In Alaska where I live it's -25 C in October and moves down to -49 C in December. I have started and used my tractor down to -25 F, but I avoid that every chance I get. I use Power Service summer and winter - works for me. The chart in this link is a little dated but it should be pretty close.

Right, it's a filler plug. The parts manual shows a V-belt drive but I have a chain in mine. There must be some variations to this model. On my next trip to the dealer I'll bring the serial number and see if that helps.
