Forum Members,
Just returned from a place closer to the Arctic than home Had white out conditions this morning (Friday, 11-7-14).
Two items of mention. About two weeks ago I changed the fuel filters and cleaned the fuel line on the HD3 crawler. Was making improvements on the old farm road and suddenly the diesel slowed to a crawl and powerless. Wondered what could happen next?? Did some checking and finally noticed I had knocked the fuel control closed for the injector pump. Anyone done this or am I just lucky
Second novice observation was noticed pulling an old Oldsmobile across the field to another spot. I was watching the track movement and wondered how the pins and bushings actually wear. I know this track is badly worn but I can not figure why it wears as it does? I have read how that owners reverse/turn the pins and bushings to get more wear. Novice question- why not reverse the whole track- switch side to side? Again this a novice question. Any and all thoughts are welcome. Let me know if my brain is frostbitten.
