Ford 841 was running good after carb swap. But valve cover gasket was leaking, badly. Off with the hood and gas tank. Decided to check valve clearance while we were in there, little tweaking here and there. Valve cover and gas tank back on. New coil and distributor cap, too. Fire it up. Runs like crap. Won't run for more than a minute,then dies. What the heck. Fooled with it for an hour. Agter it died again for the 100th time,I snatched the gas line off at carb, was just a trickle. Then I remembered that the cut off under the tank won't cut totally off,it leaks just a little. We put an in line cut off on the gas line. Well out of habit I had screwed the tank cut off in to closed. It would leak until carb was full and with tractor running it couldn't keep up! So tractor would die. Good grief!!! Turned it open and then had to adjust carb and distributor, we had been twisting stuff like crazy to make it run... Back to running good again.

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
