One of those nights!

Posted by Deere Scotty on February 02, 2014 at 20:46:46 from (50.151.74.125):

Was moving snow, & ice with a JD 3055. Tractor began missing out. Shut it off right where it was, about 1/4 mile from the barn. It was almost dark. Figured water in the fuel filter. Put my fingers around the bleed screw to get an idea of the size wrench I needed; same size as the drain screw. I felt it wiggle which shouldn't happen. Put an adjustable wrench on it, & in less than an 1/8 of a full turn it broke right off. Another fun day tomorrow trying to get the remains of the screw out on a steep icy slope out in the elements... Ever wish You went back to the barn first? I do right now! I bet the screw cracked letting air get in. JD dealer changed the filter last which means they screwed it in too tight; Is my guess.
