I was running the tractor out last fall, and I was running a 5x5 round baler. I could only get the bale half way made before running the tractor down severly. Second bale I made (I dumped the first) the tractor did the same thing, I was shocked. Next day I finished baling with the square baler. The tractor had seemed to be "weak".

History is I bought the tractor earlier in the year, and changed filters, fuel lines (leaking) pre pump on roosa, and tune up.

Finally the tractor shut-off just like I ran out of fuel (I had fueled up earlier that morning). I pulled the bleeder on the can (1st one) nothing came out. I pulled the filter can off and yep it was empty - not filling with a full tank of fuel. I ran and got the air compressor, and shot back into the tank - then shes dumping the fuel!

WHAT SHOULD I DO TO CLEAN MY TANK CORRECTLY? ANY CONSIDERATIONS ON THE MOLINE TANK? SENDERS - ???

It is a M602 Diesel.

Their is a product out that you mix a chemical in the tank and slosh it around inside. It forms a hard compound on the inside. If their is any dirt and sludge in their it sticks to the tank. It also seals any holes in the tank too. I don't remember the name of the product.

Take the tank to a good radiator shop and have it cleaned and lined. Filter your fuel as you pump into the tank and drain the tank once a year and you wont have any more trouble.

Thank You. That is exactly what I wanted to know. I didn't really think about it, but the radiator shop would really take care of a tank too.!

Thanks.
