@msb1766 Thanks! It was the fuel filter on the other side of the pump. Pretty easy fix. I ordered the new filter and when I went to change it, I found the one I had bought a few years ago. Now I have a spare. 😒 I also noticed in the manual the part about not storing fuel in galvanized...

Got to use the blower this year. We only had 6" or so and I kept it clear, but a wind storm put a 20" drift in my driveway. Cleared it out in no time with he SB52

425 hours, lately it has been more difficult to start. Normally it would start right up and go. Now it starts maybe 2nd try and runs rough for the first 30 sec or so. It will idle up to full RPM but falls flat with any load and will almost stall. I normally idle around 1K and warm it up 5 min...

Did this today. I only cut out the part of the bracket that interfered with the seat. Next I mounted the springs/bumpers, mine are newer, not on the tractor, I placed them on the seat/suspension. I then fabricated a piece of steel for the bumpers to sit on, using the holes where they used to...

From truck bed to bucket, raise bucket.

I have a Yanmar SC2400 being delivered this week. It is my first tractor. I just sold my ZT mower since I moved and the new property is mostly fields, plus I wanted more capabilities. I own a Yanmar Vio excavator so I am somewhat familiar with their diesel engine and hydraulics. I know enough...
