Ross, Ross, Ross, buy yourself two pairs of needle nose Vice Grip pliers. Put some rubber pieces of hose on the needles and use them to pinch off fuel or oil lines when working on them.👍🇺🇸✌🏻😎 it also keeps you out of the hen house !
Good video Ross. Seems to be a ton of work but the tractor is getting better all the time. Good to hear the animals are doing good. Thanks for sharing.
😊😊 HI ROSS U should put some heat wrap on those fuel lines W zip ties 2 keep it from rubbing on metal U know it rub a hole in the fuel lines then U will be right back where U started from 😮😮 OMG 11 26 2O24
I feel your pain! There are more disgusting jobs than changing fuel lines on something with a full tank, but not many. Every time I've done it I end up covered in fuel, in a foul mood and questioning my life choices.
Not ready for snow here either. However, I wouldn't mind a little if the ground was still soft enough we could plow it under. That would make a cool video!
I can understand why there was an extreme amount of animal sounds here, after seeing what you went through. I see you were using the standard crawler, I guess your deluxe one is at an undisclosed location, the carpet crawler one. Good luck with the rest of it, hopefully not too much more sadness. Have a good afternoon!
Gave me flashbacks along with chills remembering diesel fuel running down underneath arm to armpit soaking sleve of shirt then wiping my mouth with shirt to get the full taste in 98"degree heat .the burning almost can feel it
😊😊 HI ROSS something is out of adjustment or the PTO is still in gear ⚙️ 😮 thats the 1ST 1 I seen like that 😮😮 or does that tractor 🚜 😊 also have A /2 stage clutch on it 4 the PTO shaft 4 the PTO 😊😊 OMG 11 26 2O24
If a job goes easy then it usually means that we have screwed up. We have missed something. The customer says "fix my equipment" and if we do not have big flat rate busting problems we probably have missed something else that needs to be repaired. The customers, if you say all is well and we found no problems, they probably look at you cross-eyed and say "Did you fix the *&()&^$^*** problem that also needed to be fixed" even though he never mentioned it. We always figured the more gooder money was the things that we found while we were working on the tractor made good $$$. In the auto dealership, we were always told that the person who made the company the most money was the oil change guy. He had a checklist of things to look at and also experience taught him to look at, usually made for repairs to be made by the mechanics in the shop. It is that attention to the equipment that the farmer or vehicle owner feels like they have avoided problems in the field or on the road. Ode de diesel fuel, We should bottle it and all of those fancy diesel pickups could spritz a little on their hands and try to make people think they work on their trucks themselves.
Hey Ross, I don't understand that fuel accumulator either, the 200 we had didn't have that on it. Also the wheel centers are completely different than ours were. Is that one on 38" tires? Ours was 34". Is biodiesel a thing in your area? I tried it a few years ago, and had nothing but issues. Everything started leaking. The fuel lines, and those square donuts on the metal fuel lines deteriorated and leaked. I had to have a couple of injection pumps that began leaking fixed. And all of that was on several machines. I was smart enough to avoid it during the winter. The injection shop said it was the soy in the fuel. I wanted to do my part to improve the soybean market, but I had to give it up. My fuel supplier told me they weren't selling any of it anymore, and they weren't even using it in their own trucks or application equipment anymore. So maybe if the 200 owner is using it, between that and age, everything is falling apart?

So that's why Grandpa got rid of all the Allis Chalmers on the farm and went to Minneapolis Moline and Oliver

Hey Ross hoping to see some corn harvesting videos soon
Oh dear, at least when the fuel lines are replaced it will be new and good and happy and hopefully worth the struggle.
I've been doing the same with my one coat. Washing it and getting it messed up with diesel fuel
I’m in almost the same boat as you, got a small tractor with a back injection pump and can’t find it anywhere
seems a light power wash would go a long way

Obligatory comment for the aligories. 😊
That 200 was not made mechanic friendly.
👍👍👍👍👍
