Still needs a refill now and then. I new the fuel gauge didn't work, but I had filled it right to the neck, and started in spreading manure. And you know how the days kind of blend together. While going outwith the last load for the day yesterday, the 930 started to sputter , and I thought , just when did I fuel this tractor , yesterday , or day before ? I shut it down quick , and walked for fuel. Tossed 5 gallons of diesel in the tank, and it started right up... and died. So I gave the primer a few pumps, and found it wasn't pumping fuel.
So here is my question, If the tank was half full of fuel or more, would the pump been able to catch the fuel? Or would it make on difference how much fuel is in the tank.
I just went and got my son Karl, with a chain and another tractor, and we tugged the 930 around for a bit , and it barked back to life. Think I will try to fuel the tractor everyday I want to use it from now on, and save myself the exercise . Probably better to keep the tank full now colder weather is here anyway.
