I took one of my Cub Cadets down to Dad's farm in 2006 to haul stuff around to clean things up for an auction and ultimately sell the house & buildings. Dad had his '51 M there with loader to move the big stuff. I brought a 5 gal can of my E-Zero gas, and Dad had two 5 gal cans of gas, with ethanol in it. I tried starting a fire with some of Dad's gas, the M was running on it, but I flicked my BIC lighter 20-30 times and it wouldn't start on fire, even in a puddle of gas. I grabbed my can and splashed a bit of my good gas on the pile of scrap lumber I wanted to burn, flicked my Bic in the good gas and WHOOSH, my gas caught fire and then caught the bad gas on fire. So Yes, gas can go bad, but can still run an engine, the hyd tubes running to & from the live hyd pump on the M started leaking on the spark plug wires causing the M to misfire which caused it to foul a spark plug. Dad fixed the oil leak and put new D-18Y Champion plugs in the M. Most of the gas I use over a year's time goes in my lawn mower, about 3-4 gallons a week all summer. Snow removal is 5 to 10 gallons a year. In 2008 we got a bit over 100 inches of snow, I used probably 20 gallons that year. The chain saws, leaf blower, weed-eater, only use 2 gal of gas a year. The stale gas/oil mix goes in the M.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. 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
