Concerning the poor start and rough running the, improvement with a change in plugs along with the age of the spark leads, are interesting one of the ways I check for problems like this is to with the engine running, (no small task sometimes) take a spray bottle and mist the leads one at a time you should be able to hear the crack if you have a leak. This trick also seems to work if the plugs are firing down the outside of porcelain also.

But it sounds like you maybe on to the source of the problem or at least part of it.

Concerning moving stuff around on the ice you really need to get Bob to put the cable on the winch and get the scotches set-up the pulling ability of the truck sitting on the scotches is amazing. But them again you have the tractor with takes a lot less rigging that the winch.

Can't wait to see the spring progress photos of the HUP.
