Think I found problem with fuel cap. Underneath gasket you see when taking cap off. There is another gasket. It has 2 slots in it to let air into tank. Over the years it had imbedded its self into first gasket. Fixed it by turning one of the gaskets 90° from its original position. Then remember not to over tighten cap when putting it back on.

Had the similar problem some time ago (same tractor), one of the gaskets failed allowing the interior rubber gasket/cap to fall out of the outer cap so I took the failed gasket out ... which caused the cap to seal so tightly that it created a vacuum in the tank and caused the fuel gauge float to hang up if tightened real tight. Tractor would start running poorly.

Crack the cap, fuel gauge would drop to accurately read the actual level and tractor would run normally.

Picked up a new gasket ... which I still haven't managed to get installed ... but it's around here somewhere :LOL:

I've just been making sure I don't over tighten the cap which mostly resolved the issue.

I listened to a talk about convalescent blood plasma as an alternative to paxlovid. The doc. is from Johns Hopkins so he probably knows what he is talking about. People keep getting covid so it is good to know what the choices are, especially if you are a senior. I find it alarming that some doctors don't know how to treat covid.

Dad got his furnace fixed, $200 control board.

Need to feed the pellet stove soon.
Wife almost killed Tiger today, she turned around and he jumped up on counter and started eating her lunch.
He had to take pretty evasive measures to get away.
That's why my first and only cat is an outside cat. She will come in for a few minutes, but want back outside.

Working on 2008 toyota commuter today. Seems the belt slippage was related to the clutchless a/c compressor. It needs a new drive pulley.

RNG, nice video. Lake could come up some more.

m7040, don't take this wrong, but I've been, and also almost been the victim of reverse racism, or just plain old racism, or whatever it should be called. I just try to treat people the way I'd like to be treated. Didn't happen those days for me.

Prayers for our team.
