Are these spade connections? If so, are the male spades 6.3mm (1/4") or 2.8mm, or other?

vintageconnections.com shows a 9-pin (way) with 2.8mm spades.

I looked at that site and found a plug that I think will work. My plug is a nine pin plug but it only uses 8 of them. This one should work. I think Im going to get it along with some of the connectors. Thank you so much.
Fish, make sure the FEMALE new push-on connectors are made from a decent gauge of brass. I have bought some that were so thin they got loose and then you get a bad connection.

Finally starting to see an end in sight. I have been looking at this as two stages. Getting the chassis to a running condition is stage one. The tins, seat, and wheels are stage two. Everything for the chassis has been painted or powdered and bolted back on with the exception of the air cleaner and three point hitch. I still have to plate the mounting hardware for them which I plan on doing tomorrow. After that, mount the fuel tank and take care of the wiring. Then fill with fluids and it will be usable while I work on the rest.

Watching folks post on some facebook groups blowing snow with there compacts with cabs. Looks like fun but im sure by this time of year it starts to get a little old.
I only wish I had a cab, I use the L3450 with either a rear blade or blower and loader to move snow, or if it's a lot, like it's been lately, I use the bobcat, it plows right through 3 feet of snow.

And yes dealing with the snow for the winters we have, does get a bit old!

My eager anticipation that March heralds the spring thaw is tempered only by the specter of the associated Muddy Driveway Season. And the Blackfly Season that follows.

Yay spring.

Yeah. That.

Sometimes I think bears have the right idea: just go have a nap until it's all over.

<sigh>

NIW, Thanks for the pics, (and the laugh). The Mrs and I enjoyed them. As for the laughs, its with you not aimed at you, we TOTALLY understand. She says that we have five seasons with a repeat of one, Fall, Mud, Winter, Mud, Spring and Summer.

Well I probably made life more difficult for me trying to source all the electrical connections to keep close to as original as possible. Probably should have just gone to the hardware store and just got off the shelf parts. Everything is trickling in slowly. Just waiting on a few terminals that should be here Tuesday if USPS expected date holds true. Coming along nicely though.
