Lifestyle Chronicles - Modern Farmstead

this tractor was a hand-me-down and never had time to mess with it 'til now. if this stay at home order keeps on goin', at this rate, i might be able to fix all my toys...

This is an old tractor that I scouted from my neighbor. It's been years since the last time I saw him used it. Never thought of asking until someday he just told me that if I can fix it, I can have it. It then sat in my garage for a while until recently, my other old faithful riding mower starting giving me problems. This is a three cylinder diesel Kubota engine so I figure that my time and resources are better off if I fix this one.

Sure enough, it was a simple fix. Just had to bleed the diesel arteries and it fired right up. The bleeding process is a work on itself and maybe that's why he never even tried to do it. It has to be orchestrated correctly for it to work. The engine still runs strong and no smoke or blow-by at all.
