Clint...... make sure your fuel filter(s) are full. Even if you filled it before, you can take fuel from the filter and they may not refill.....

Thanks BTDT, I did not do that. I was the only one cranking. There is a hand primer that I used and could hear it pushing fuel up to injectors and back in the tank. I also used it to push fuel up to the cracked injectors and it only spurted out of 2. I told my dad to give me the weekend on it before we took it the dealer, but I guess he did not want me messing around with it any more and I got home tonight and it was gone. My dad does not like to see me working on things (especially after my neck surgery) when it causes me to miss things I like to do. I always tell him I enjoy working on stuff  (and I do), but he would rather see me go fishing or to the State HS boys basketball finals this weekend then working on that thing. It also has a small leak in the radiator and we will fix that to as I think it has to come off.   I will keep all posted on the outcome.  

That's why it is said "Father Knows Best"....  good deal Clint I'll definitely be interested in hearing the cause of the problem.  Sorry I didn't have helpful information but, in researching your situation I learned quite a bit myself.  "Never too old to learn" , as they say.
 
Enjoy those basketball finals.

Clint sounds like dad does know best ;). My dozer has runout of fuel and my Kubota fuel filter froze up this past winter. Big time learning curves for me to get those going. Btdt is right about the cranking. You can't stop. But you've learned enough from this venture I'm sure and it sounds like your tractor is in good hands now. Tuna, hope its smooth sailing for you from here on with the roof. I had my struggles with that early last winter. Keep on keeping on folks!!!

My most recent struggles have been vehicular. Between mine and wife's vehicles we've spent 1100 in one week on much needed maintenance. Just found out my gas tank is leaking now. Badly too. I'm picking up a tank and fuel pump today and doing a drop and swap. Never done it before but I refuse to give more money to the mechanic at this point. Also trekked through 3-4 foot of snow to cut up some top limbs of a tree that fell early this fall. I refuse to support corporate america at this point of winter. Still have yet to burn fuel oil.

Clint your spot on about folks here... Good people for sure!!!

Thanks clint! Cleared out the pole barn last night and got her in to take a peak. All I could see were the fill lines from fill port. Couldn't see pump or anything.

Question: can I drop tank first and then disconnect lines? Probably a dumb question but can't see anything to disconnect other than the fill and over flo W line. Those are simple aviator clamps. I was told the tank clamps are a bear and more worth cutting off and using new

Thanks fichy. I have 2 truck jacks in which I was going to use one to lower it down. I do have a set of helping hands but would be willing to trade services back at clint if he wants to help. Clint thanks for the offer and send me a message if you're available

Disconnect the pressure and return lines. You will also have to disconnect the harness from the fuel pump which sits in the tank. The filler clamps can be a bear so just get new. Some people cut a hole in their bed to access it from the top and glue. It back in place especially when just doing the pump.

Clint I'm gonna start late this afternoon. It would be great if I could borrow the tool for quick connects. I hope to be done tonight or early a.m. if I'm not done by Sunday for any reason I would thoroughly appreciate your help

Dime I just got home from work,  I would guess you are already deep into it. The tool is cheap from advance, but your welcome to it if you need it tomorrow. Let me know.

Clint thanks bud, repair thread could be a good one. Tank pulled by 1 a.m. after getting started last night... but used one I pulled from junk yard was not right. Bought new one and installing soon!!!

Actually will probably be cheaper than the pump.

It was great to see you brother !! Dummy me, I shoulda drilled another hole and handed you a rod.. Bet you could have caught one..
Myself, just couldn't get them to bite.. The few that did were short strikes and were only 2 second tugs..
Conditions yesterday were near perfect , for ice fishing.. That fog hung in most of the day so I'm sure the top of Sleeping Beauty was , well , pretty sleepy ..
Ice was 22" thick with little snow or water.. Cars & trucks were driving basically anywhere around the lake they wanted.. Many were pulling their permanent shanties off for todays deadline.. Had thoughts of going back today and taking my Rav-4 out there just to get to some new spots easier but alas, after another skunk, I may just sit under the cover of the Daisy Mae and pretend I'm on the water..
Id suspect there will be ice fishing on Lake George right into April.. With the dismal season I've had I'm just not sure if I'm up for it anymore..
 
Hope you got your gas tank troubles resolved Db..
It's a little grey outside here but besides Mud City, not to bad temp wise..
Again, Great to see ya Charlie and have a blast in the Great Grand Canyon !! Has to be one of my top 3 most beautiful places in the United States, the other 2 are very close by that region

Truck started up on the first crank. Gonna head out soon to permanently mount the tank. I was happy enough last night when she started up with the tank on the ground still. I am unhappy about my firewood sitting out in the wet snow as I didn't have enough time to process enough for the next few weeks. Oh well... Tuna brownies will be sooner than later on the lake ;)

Charlie, I've wanted to try ice out pike The past two years but record breaking ice two years in a row in the lake gave deterred me. Hope you get some action bud!

ughh another leak in the roof, damp, but not wet, who knows. This one was on the back. went up and cleared the last of the ice where the shed roof meets the main. it was a few inches thick where they meet and about four foot long. it's done now. have to decide weather to  file a claim or not. maybe could recoup some of the cost of the new roof. Got about two inches of snow here and the wind was howling.

Fish are running in the smaller tribs out west where the ice has diminished.  Won't be long now and the Hendricksons will be flying and it'll be another 6 month wait for chrome trout.  Get em while U can!
