    John Deere D 130 Fuel Gauge

    My D-130 started acting up about a year ago. Fuel gage would read full but engine would surge for a few minutes and eventually die. Lots of troubleshooting and thought it was clogs, filter or bad fuel line… which lead me to the screwed up tank design. Wife drives like mario andretti on this...

    Oil & Fuel  New Holland TC34DA Fuel Quantity indicator problem

    Hello, I bought a New Holland TC34DA Compact tractor that has 440 hrs on it. It's been working great, but noticed a few weeks ago the fuel qty indicator is becoming erratic. Seems like it's electrical because the gauge will read fine one minute and then drop to zero the next. Usually takes a...
