My Gas Meter shows empty, I have a 4300... Full tank, anyone else seen this issue with their tractor?

It happened to me awhile ago. When I refilled it it worked fine. I've heard of others with the same problem too.

How far down did you get before you refilled and it worked?

I DIDN"T. The dang thing left me way out in the field and I had to walk back. After I went out and put a little in and brought it back and filled it it has worked fine. Before though it said I had a quarter tank left when in fact I was empty.

The meter on my 4300 stays a long time at 1/4 to 1/2 then drops like a rock to the red in 20 minutes of mowing. There is still about two gallons in the tank but the drop to red can sure get your attention. I think I will have the dealer replace the tank unit.

I have a 4400 and the fuel gauge stuck frequently. I looked into the tank and found that the float is on a rather long arm and apparently was getting stuck on something. Took a long screw driver and tried to bend it away from the sides a little and haven't had a problem since.

I normally don't let mine run below a 1/2 tank, I guess I run it down farther and see if it comes back. If not, 50 hours service is coming quickly
