The past couple of days I've been prepping a piece of ground to extend the drive another 155'. This morning I finished up the hard work of digging, leveling, and moving the dirt. Wanted to drag the landscape rake reversed so that the base would be nice and smooth for the geofabric to follow.
I had come to the end of my run and started to back up without lifting the rake I immediately heard a LOUD POP followed by glug, glug, glug and a strong smell of diesel. Knew it wasn't going to be good and since I was pretty close to the pond I wasted no time running the TC-40D up the hill and away from the pond to keep what diesel was running out away from the pond.
Somehow the rake folded up and part of it went through the plastic fuel tank. The good news is that because my toolbox was mounted above the tank at least all the tools needed to pull the tank were real handy. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Gotta go check out the sending unit to be sure no damage was done there.
Just another day at the Pine Ridge 7 Ranch....... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
