Well, here's what 90 tons of recycled asphalt looks like.
My lines don't look nearly as good from above

 

Sheesh!

 

Heat stripped the fender and seat pan on my 3205. Plan to repaint with catalyzed implement paint. I really hate paint and body. I can do it well but hate it. I'd rather be fabbing something.

 

Wow... I also hate body work and well unlike you, I don’t do it well ;-)

 

Did some splitting with brother joe yesterday and his dogs.... good day for it as it was in the brisk side

 

Got my starter replaced Saturday, guy gave me a spare engine with the mower and I used the one off of it. Hopefully it last a while.



Tacoma tailgate test with the jumpbox, it worked!



Had 2 helping and waiting to test drive it for me.





Then on with the vacuum system.




What they did while I replaced starter.

 

Picture dump. Did my first ever removal of a reasonably big stump. Think it went rather well. Doesn't go fast with a sub compact, but if you're patient, it gets the job done.

Should have taken a before picture.

 

Question, if that's your float plane at the water (I assume it is from your avatar), how did you get the tractor to your location?

 

Hoping it's this, just for the photos

 

What does everyone use for diesel fuel treatment leading up to winter?

 

Or like this.

Well, I could make up a story about having it choppered in, or as an external load on a float plane, or even piece by piece in my little plane. Maybe by ice road? But the truth is, my property is road accessible. I just trailered it home.

 

I use 2 stroke oil at a rate if 200:1 from Walmart in a blue jug, it's probably not the best thing but I have a sticky FPR in my 2003 Duramax and it helps with lubricity, as long as I add it then it doesn't stick. My diesel tractor is a 1993 so it helps lube it as well, I don't think I can recommend it for the newer stuff and doubt it helps with algae, etc.

 

Thats a nice one!!

 

Hey guys. Any of you Garden Tractor Motorheads know what might cause my JD 345's Fuel to stop pumping. I already replaced the Fuel pump and it worked fine for a while and then even the new one stopped pumping which leads me to believe it could be something more internal. My Tractor uses the FD590V Kawasaki Motor which according to my tractors year has the Plastic Gear. I wonder if it could be that.

 

I'd look for an obstruction in the tank to make sure something isn't moving and blocking the connection, may or may not be that. Does it have a fuel filter?

 

^ This. I have a friend who scored a free mower from his neighbor because he exhausted almost every option with a fuel starvation issue. My buddy took the tank off and found a small piece of gravel was randomly getting sucked over the tank outlet and causing it to die.

 

Yes i have a clear fuel filter on it so I can at least see if it has fuel to the filter. I'm gonna work on it a bit later today so I'll let you all know.

 

Also make sure your vacuum line going to your fuel pump isn't sucking air somewhere

 

I use this all year long.
