Hi there everyone. Bizarre situation here.
The glass bowl under the primary fuel filter on my Massey 165 Diesel shattered today (Big chunks, maybe 5-6 pieces.) I hadn't touched the tractor since yesterday, when I ran it a good bit spreading fertilizer. Hadn't touched the bowl itself since this time last year.
It was raining and in the 40's today, compared to the partly sunny 60's yesterday. Unsure if it was a pressure thing, an overtightening thing (though again it had been a year since I touched the filter/bowl), or just random fatigue on a potentially 50 year old part.
Either way, I'm left scratching my head, and an unfortunate 8-10 gallons of diesel in the very rainy driveway. Sigh.
Has anyone had anything similar happen, or any insights as to what might have caused it? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
