Same.

 

Make sure the rubber fuel line from the tank to the engine isn't collapsed internally, the ethanol fuel does random bad things sometimes. I had one with a six inch section internally destroyed yet outside looked fine. 100 psi of air couldn't push through it.

My old Farmall 140 had a piece of cellophane like material less than 2 inches square inside the tank, it would randomly block the port on the bottom where the fuel petcock is. I only happened to see it floating around in there when looking in the fill opening with a flashlight. That one was a P-I-A...

 

My Kawasaki had 2 fuel filters. One before the pump at the fuel tank and the other at the engine. I changed both and pulled the tank, drained it and replaced all the fuel lines.

 

Time consuming yes, but once knowing all the fuel source is cleaned, one less thing to question yourself with.

 

Mower some today for my brother joe... I can tell you one thing.... wasent no straight lines!

 

Had some help cutting grass tonight at my camping property,

 

Have you figured anything out yet? I realize we are in different time zones and I’m laying in bed

 

That’s a nice Gravely, what year is it?

 

If I remember correctly it was built in 1991.I bought in 2014 with 725 hours on it .It came with a 50 inch mower deck and a 48 inch Snow blade for the front . I have slowly been adding attachments.

I grew up mowing with only gravely tractors!! Well built and it’s still going strong

 

You boys still tractoring?? Probably splitting more wood this weekend... who knows what else... hoping to fish some

 

Pretty quiet for me this time of year with the tractor, got the deer food plot planted (turkeys are eating everything that’s coming up though) and got the farm bush hogged for the year. Now it’s time to fight leaves and deer hunt

 

lol yes the weather will be slowing some of us down ... I’m ok with that for about a month and then look to get into maintenance Items and wait for the grass to grow again!! ;-)

 

I've got a fuel injected JD 445 with practically the same motor mounted horizontal. It has a fuel pump in the tank like a car. Deere wants $450 for a new pump but i found a knockoff on Amazon for 69.99. Do you know if yours has the pump in the tank?
Also to check the plastic cam gear, pop off a valve cover and watch the rockers.

 

Brother joe got a quick attachment for one of his bota’s and the first image is of joe moving my garden after I dumped it at the wrong spot.... pffftttt I didn’t know there were certain spots to dump stuff
;-)

 

Wait until tomorrow , I got another truck bed and trailer full of tree scraps!

 

I’m using our 40 horse new Holland to do some deer season prep today and after about an hour I noticed a bunch of ants climbing up the steering shaft, I drove it back to be fairly close to the truck and then gave the order to abandon tractor, hopefully they find their way off in half an hour or so.

 

Got my tree scraps dumped of joes place and took my kid for a ride before we left:.. have 2 ponds to fish and mow around when mowing season is in full swing... love it there

 

Same same.

 

Brother joe having a fire tonight and I’m to tired to gather around it with him knowing I’d probably drink to much doing so!!! Hahaha
