Hi Larry, Yes, I did. I had to pull it with my other tractor, but it fired up almost immediately. I had been trying to crank start it for a couple of days, but just could not spin it fast enough with the one battery I had. So I had lots of raw fuel to burn off once it fired. It ran rough, really rough for about 3 minutes, but then smoothed right out and stopped smoking. I'm really pleased, based on 10 or 15 minutes of run time, I don't think I have any major engine issues. The water pump was shot, so I could not run it long with water flying everywhere. The pump is turning into an issue. I sent it to John Saeli, he could not get the impeller out, nor find the seal. so he has sent it on to a friend who hopefully can resolve those issues. In the meantime, I have several fuel leaks to fix - once the engine started vibrating the old seals didn't hold. How are you doing? Did you get your 800 runing? Did you sell the rims? Happy Turkey Day. Tim
