I wasn't going to tell this story,but you brought it up. I went to put some round bales out one afternoon this last week. The gas gauge on the Oliver 1600 showed a little bit of gas in it. I dropped one bale in,backed out and got another one and the tractor quit. It started right back up and quit again. I took the cap off and could see gas in it,up on to the curves in the bottom of the tank. Should have at least had enough in it to run. I took the line off the carb and had nothing. I took the sediment bowl off,ran a wire up I it thinking there was ice in it since it was colder than a mother in laws heart. Still couldn't get anything. I unscrewed the whole thing out of the tank and gas was pouring around the threads before I got it all the way off. By now my gloves are soaked and my hands were getting numb. I got the 1365 and dragged it backwards,bale and all,all the way around in front of the toolshed. I went in and got the hair dryer,got an extension cord and heated the neck of the sediment bowl. Still no gas. I put it all back together,got a gas can,got 5 gallons out of the barrel,put that in and it ran out. Now I've got a little bit of a leak in the sediment bowl,I wasted almost an hour fooling around in the cold and it was just too low on gas for it to run out the neck.

What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
