What a day..... Had pick up a bale of hay, set up a time with the folks storing it and got there about 20 minutes early. Noone there and a tractor blocking the door I needed to go through, so decided to go to the gas station (diesel) and fill up first. 50 meters from the station, ran out of fuel. Got a can and 5 liters, wouldn't start. Another 5 liters (was setting on a hill) and the battery went dead. Garage next to the gas station loaned me a jumper pack. Not enough to get the system bled. Ran out of fuel several times over the last 8 years with this tractor and put in fuel/ took off again. Figured the injector pump was shot because nothing was happening. Got it pulled up and into a parking place, called the wife to come pick me up and take me to the dealer/garage a few miles away. Instead of bringing my car like I told her, she jumped on her menstrual cycle (without a helmet) and here she came.... NAG,NAG,NAG, NAG..... All the way to the shop to get someone to come pick the tractor up and back home. Got back to the tractor, the guy showed up (overtime of course because Fridays are short days here). Loosened the bleeder screw filled the tank completely, then used a big stopper with an air hose and pressurized the tank. Cranked a few times, tightened everything up and back in business. What a relief... The pump would have cost more than the tractor is worth.
What did I learn???? Never call the wife to pick me up after a breakdown, and I got on ebay that evening and got a 200 liter double walled diesel tank and pump that I'll be filling shortly. Always when you're on a schedule.......
