In Reply to: Leaky gas caps posted by David G on September 17, 2016 at 06:49:36:
If the tractor was still across the road I could show you what one looked like with a leaky gas cap. I had a Ferguston TE 20 which I have had for years and I used it here once in a while. A guy bought the 180 acres across the road from me last year and wanted to put in food plots. He needed a tractor and wanted to buy the one I had so I sold it to him.He took it home last winter and plowed snow with it and played around with it at his house. He said it wasn't running right so his neighbor liked to work on old tractors and he looked at it. The neighbor took the gas cap and drilled a hole in it as he said it needed it for a vent. They bought the tractor back across the road from me a couple moths ago and I was over there one day and he was putting gas in it. I saw the cap with the hole in it and asked him about so he told me. I told him he should get a new cap but he said that one was fine. That afternoon we had a cook out and he asked me if I saw his tractor. He said he was using it and gas tank caught on fire. He said he opened the hood and it looked like a roman candle coming out of the gas tank. He had to throw sand and try to get it out. By the time he got it out the wiring is gone and who knows what else. I feel bad for him but as my wife he caused the problem so it is not your problem

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
