Are you kidding....I'd never come in. I don't even have a cab. Back in 2013 my roll over protection snagged on an 80' long Oak limb I had bush hogged under 500 times. This time it caught, broke the limb off which fell on my head, slammed my face into the steering wheel and shuttle lever...

I did that very thing GeoHorn except I used irrigation pipe glue....it is really thick and sets up very quickly yet remains a bit pliable. There is no way it can be sucked into the fuel system.....but, the missing O ring was the problem. And I had tightened the metal band tight....flat blade...

Another full, hot day of bushhogging over timber crew ruts and hog nose plowed up areas. Must be 100f here with 300% humidity. But the tractor ran fine. Bobcat needed a new $200 battery. That and some diesel and I was down $350 pretty darn quickly. What I really need is a bulldozer. I don't...

whitetiger for the win. They had an $8 O ring in stock.....glad I didn't need a dozen. Picked it up at my dealer in Brookhaven, MS. Filled up the cup with diesel, installed it. It took about 10 seconds of turning the engine over then it fired up. I put the tools up, checked for leaks, closed...

Thanks Nicksacco.....I'll leave that to others. I already have too much to do. But the protective adds are really necessary to protect all of those rods, cables, hydraulic lines and filters, gas tank if you run through rough stuff bush hogging old pastures. Clean pastures, plowing, etc...

I was able to blow back toward the tank with my breath and hear the bubbles. There didn't seem to be any resistance. You could be right about debris collecting at the entrance to the fuel line where it sits in the tank....but, siphoning some fuel out with a section of hose and wiggling it...

You've got that right Fedup. Especially on my tractor now. A year or two ago I got tired of tearing up stuff under the machine and designed and fabricated a skid plate for it. If you bush hog over cut over fields you run over all manner of stuff from treetops to 2" pine trees, etc. For some...

Thanks whitetiger.....that is part of the problem if not the problem. The fuel pump is only 1" x 1/2" so it can't pump/suck much. Talked to my son and we both came to the conclusion that air is being sucked in. The battery is good and the fuel shut off solenoid is working. If I bypass the...

I've got a theory I need to check. I noticed that the outlet line on top of the water separator bowl moves a bit if I try to twist it. I bet it might have an air leak and that might be causing the fuel pump to suck air instead of fuel from the bowl. The bowl never gets completely full...only...

I've never heard of biobor. Where do you find that? 1917

Is there a parts diagram section here? I'm having trouble finding detailed information on the fuel parts....like if I'm missing a gasket or pickup pipe in the water separator bowl. 1917

Thanks radas, good idea. I did clean the tank last year as part of that assessment....I didn't see any debris of any kind in there. I don't see any dirt at all in the fuel I blew out or the bowl. But.....something is wrong. I'll double check, perhaps siphon some fuel off the bottom of the...

Here are some photos just to show the parts. I realize the hose from the water separator to the fuel pump isn't on tight in this photo. When trying to get the engine running it is installed properly and is less than a year old. No cracks, none of the lines are loose or in bad shape. A couple...

I have a 2007 Kubota 6040 that I purchased new. I keep it at the farm which is four hours from where I live. At times it goes three or four months between start ups. Yet, 1/2 second of starter engagement usually starts it running smoothly. It has less than 250 hours on it and new hydraulic...
