Yesterday I was over at a friends house augering holes for his fence and towards the end of the day the tractor just did not seem to have as much power when driving. Still plenty for the PHD.

I figured it was just a clogged fuel filter from bad diesel, but what happened was the side panel had come loose and turned the valve about 45 degrees so only about half the fuel was getting through the 90 degree valve.

Just a lesson learned, check your equipment each day,
