Grandpa's gonna do what Grandpa wants to do. That's just how we Grandpas are. When he pulls it with the loader and it fires up he will look at you with that "I told you it would" grin on his face and you will never hear the end of the story. Your challenge is to keep him away from the loader til you are ready to let him pull it. I truly believe with where you are now a slow gentle roll with the plugs out and the truck in 3rd gear would save you a bunch of time. I say it again SLOW ROLL, by hand or the loader at idle in compound low. It would make Grandpa happy and move you farther along to the first drive. That's just my opinion, right or wrong!
