Weight on the rear will help you, along with rear tire chains. A hydraulic bucket will also help you push yourself out of a problem, too. I have a very heavy front end loader (WL-42 Westendorf) on my 86 Hydro. I have 600 pounds of rear wheel weights on the back end, plus I have a 3 point mounted snow blower. I had more problems this winter than most other years prior. I do not have chains. I was able to get myself out of any problem I got into, with using the bucket to help push myself backwards and out of the problem I was in. I detest calcium chloride solution due to its corrosive nature. It is fine as long as long as nothing leaks out. I replaced a set of rims on an older tractor I had restored, and I have another tractor with one rim rotted out around the valve stem needing the entire rim replaced because too much is gone on a double bevel rim. I have also welded in a patch in the rim around the valve stem where it rotted out from calcium chloride solution, and the size of the patch was only about 2 inches by 3 inches on a single bevel rim. The point of that explanation was if you go with calcium chloride solution, you definitely want new inner tubes. On a tractor like you have, new tire tread will last longer than the inner tubes and tires themselves.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
