Weekend shenanigans 14 Tractor mayhem

well doing work at a buddy's house way up in here installing one of those ring doorbell thingies right below the roof lots of bugs yeah looking for screws up and down up and down oh she's a beaut clark well before look at the area that needs excavation things that need moving okay let's get some work done with the tractor sunglasses are a must step one make sure she's in neutral step two fuel pump and ground step three the hell is it fuel okay let's fire up come on oh hang on i forgot something left the cap off the uh power steering fluid reservoir her's like a kitten close behind [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] parked the tractor because it ran out of gas i think that caused it to suck up a bunch of crap into the fuel line which clogged it and then while trouble shooting the fuel pump i noticed that this wire harness here is just a goddamn mess so tidying it up a little bit and then i'll address the crud in the bottom of the fuel tank once i get this all sorted okay almost there the idea or what i'm going to try and do is make it so that the this switch turns on and off power to the ignition coil and the fuel pump and then i can just leave these leads on the top here and well there's one of them there's a ground and not have to worry about this thing uh you know it would just it'll kill itself at the same time it'll be nice have a switch to actually turn on and off anywho yeah let's get this figured out okay so got it carried away with the electrical ended up trying to take off this guy we couldn't get the steering wheel off with the steering wheel for a while and i've given up on that redid the electrical as is although i need to tuck this guy back up in there and finally i'm draining the tank i used a little pump to get back into the five gallon jug but i don't know if this will come out but looking in the tank no probably not going to come out it's full of goddamn sand got the fuel i guess you called the petcock off that's not something you want to see that is not good this guy may be toast well this guy's been nice and uh sanded to oblivion and i'm gonna presume the boar in here it's probably pretty up uh to flush the tank i'm gonna have to use water because i don't have fuel or anything else and then i'm about to get all the water out because that's gonna be a problem hopefully it's doing the trick i'll turn off in a second and see where we're where we stand with this let's see if it'll capture this in here come on focus yeah looks like most of the sand has made its way out i think we're pretty good well back in the shop this guy is toast it leaks pretty bad and i don't think it's gonna seal good news is i think that's a standard thread so that's a standard thread it's something like this oh maybe not this guy exactly but a gate valve i'd like to use a ball valve but the ball valves contain nylon i thought i had one around here and nylon oh actually hang on i have this fuel diverter yeah this guy's not gonna work aside from not being a fuel switch like i thought it was it's a i believe it's just a valve it's a three-way valve so you got one in and three out but yeah this is uh i can't use this this isn't gonna work so now i gotta figure out can i use parts from this can i make something do i have something well it looks like the the worst has come to fruition i'm gonna have to go to the hardware store crap you know as much as i hate going to the hardware store it is kind of nice having shiny brand new parts so yeah whatever i think this guy will work i already checked the clearance seemed to be okay on that front so now put together what i can i think this uh hose barb go in i'm gonna have to remove this stem to get the clearance to turn this guy and then yeah so on a four so forth let's go get some uh some teflon tape and whatnot we'll get her all put together a little bit of gasket shellac on the threads and let's get this new beauty installed let's see where's the alignment get in there okay she's in seems to work just fine actually kinda neat looking not gonna lie let's give the tank one more good flush and then fill up gas check the operation of the valve we'll fill up the tank and do a good solid flush give the whole tractor a little bit of a rock kind of swishes it around finally got fuel going back in i'll take the first maybe gallon or so out put in that container straight through the fuel filter that should hopefully get the water out i'll let that sit and separate and then once the water is separated out i'll pour the fuel back in use the fuel
