John Deere 410C fuel problems.

Hmmm, a home in a sink hole.. How deep is the sink hole? A pic of it would be great..

Well running it lasted about 15 minutes. Pump rebuild time
A pic of the home wouldn't show much. It was repaired with steel pipe down 40 feet and a platform put under the foundation.
Then 13 truckloads of cement was pumped under pressure raising the home.
It lasted about 4 years then sunk again. Not much and right in the middle of the house. I think all that cement crushed the limerock under it but that is just a guess.
No one is going to try to repair it again and I now own it. Its next door so I gain a nice garage and more lawn to mow.

The drop in the center of the house is only about 1 1/2 feet. Most of the house is OK. Its right in the kitchen so cupboards are away from the ceiling as well as a couple of interior walls.
The other problem is a small tornado took off some shingles and being unoccupied, no one noticed so rain damage of other parts of the house.
I live in Florida as you might suspect. Will update my profile.
Thanks.

I've seen tractors such as yours run several 100 hrs after the glass ball & spring is removed from fitting on IP that fuel return line attaches to. If you choose to remove ball & spring do so at your own risk as possible IP damage can occur if altered IP is run too many hrs without installing new drive ring.

Thanks Jim. I'll give it some thought. Read this somewhere else but it also said it would just get worst.

Well today I removed the glass ball. My rpms are back and it was plugged.
We'll see what happens but I should be able to get my job done before rebuilding the pump.
We'll see.
Thanks again Jim.
