So,

My little gasser tractor decides to pick up the habit of running out of fuel. And, it is always at the most inopertune times, like when I'm really in a hurry to get something done.

Have tinkered with it off and on for a month. Tank seemed clean, filter okay and sediment bowl not dirty.

Okay, the jasper made me mad this morning and I ripped that sediment bowl clear the heck off the tractor. Fuel tank was full to the brim of course.

Darned horseflies! Two of 'em stuck right in the standpipe! She runs now, but I really, really stink bad! :>)

Allan, by chance do you know the part # for that filter in the last pic. Ih dealer here keeps telling me it is not original ih filtering sytem and I only need to change the big round on on the other side. I want to change fruilds in all my hydro next week and should really replace this filter also. Ran an implement of the neighbors and believe i have a bunch of JD htgaurd? in my system now.

Hi Dave,

I'll see if there is a number on it next time I go out there.

Tell the parts man you want the hydrostatic transmission filter, not the dydraulic filter. He's not reading you right.

I don't think that John Deere oil is gonna hurt anything, do you? Just dyed a little green is all. :>)

Lucky you didn't blow yourself up with that starter right under there !!!!!

I hope you unhooked the battery first.

Hi Mike,

That thing bothers me every time I look at it. Just the wrong darned place for a sediment bowl, seems to me.

And, I'm the guy that never shuts off the fuel either. :>(

You say you you stink, considering todays fuel prices, I'd say you probably smell like a million bucks.

Used the wrong word. I just plain "reek" with gasoline fumes. Dare not go downtown; people might think I've been using the old Oklahoma Credit Card.

Just dunno if I can make it 'til Saturday night or not. Might have to go "get wet". :>)

At least it was fresh gas. When that happens to me it is usually 15 to 20 year old stale stuff. Now that really reeks.

Yes,

My life is just one, long horrid grind. :>)

Maybe the factory should warranty this tractor? I see no evidence of a screen door flap on the fuel tank filler neck.

Hey, I know! Can I sue? :>)

THE NERVE of those sum-de-guns! Sure, they overengineered these tractors by a mile...but what good does that due if a lowly horsefly can bring it to its knees?

If you develop some horrible disease, of course it will be related to you taking a bath in liquid gold, and not the years and years of absorbtion of all manner of solvents and fluids through your hands. Therefore, I think you have one heck of a case, so I would recommend you file suit.

I'll even recommend a good lawyer....name is Harley Everhard, and he'll take em to the cleaners.

OR....maybe you should get rid of the horses. Now that would really solve the problems.
No horses, no horseflies....or at least that's what you tell wifey.

Good luck,

Brian

I'm slow to learn, but I do learn.

I keep my yap shut about the "H" subject. Every time I bring it up, she goes and buys another "gotta have this horse" hay burner. :>(

Those darned things are expensive! Money I could be using to purchase other old tractors!

I'm thinkin' the woman needs to get her priorities in order. :>)
