You right torch, love riding my bike almost as much as my tractor. There is a freedom that comes with both you don't find doing anything else, all alone with your thoughts and the freedom to do as you please.

Thanks Russell King, I appreciate the help.

Thanks Dave and PoTreeBoy, I am forever in everyone's debt, maybe we all did learn something from the experience, I know I did. Everything is hooked up like it suppose to be, running through the filter and all, working good. Didn't check the temperatures today, but will Monday just to see what...

torch, it was like music to my ears to hear her rev up this morning, I enjoy being on the tractor, to me it doesn't get any better than a day spent doing whatever on my tractor. There are so many things I use it for around her that I honestly don't know what I'd do without it, I guess I'd just...

Torch, Dave-eng, PoTreeBoy, Russell King, This morning at 7:30 AM I went to the shop that makes my hydraulic hoses and had them make me a 5/8" x 7'-4" with only one end on it, the lady (Trish) who usually makes the hose was off today so someone else made it, come back with 2 ends on it, ok, no...

Russell King, Yes the tractor revs to higher RPMs when the front pump is not connected, runs like normal.

Hi Dave, torch looked up the hose size chart based on the outlet port size 10 which says the outlet hose should be a 5/8" ID hose not a 3/8" like I got and what was on it. Or would it be better to go with a 3/4" hose on the outlet the same size as coming in to the pump? I think you, torch...

torch and PoTreeBoy, The inlet hose is 3/4" ID and 1-1/4" OD, lined with mesh and a spiral wire, but the outlet or pressure hose is 3/8" as per what was on it before. My opinion is this pump is at least 3 times better than the old pump, it has 2 cylinder about 1" long x 2" wide where the old...

Dave-eng, torch, PoTreeBoy, Well all I had to do was run one test, connecting the pressure line from the pump to the reservoir refill line coming off the filter. First I stuck the pressure line into the reservoir refill line and clamped it down, but this made the refill line bow so the fluid...

Russell King, No, I appreciate the help and learning something new, my manual doesn't tell a lot about anything. It says to use the glow plug and decompression knob in cold weather or if hard to start, wrapped up in one sentence is all it says about either. I like learning something new, Now I...

Russell King, I use the glow plug before starting, pull the knob and then push it in, then start the tractor was how I was told to do it back then. Now I know better and it also bleeds the injectors which I didn't know. Thanks, I appreciate the help. My old manual leaves a lot to be desired to...

PoTreeBoy, It was running through the filter as well, everything stayed the same except the connections to the pump was moved to the rear pump connections is all, so there was noting going to the front pump then.

Dave and Torch, I think you both came up with the same idea at the same time, Ok, I'll do the return line first, if it checks out ok, then connect to the inlet side of the filter and try it to see if he filter is the problem, correct. I wear glasses anyway, and usually wear gloves though...

OK Dave, let me get this straight, take the pressure line from the pump off at the control valve and connect it to the filter inlet fitting, by passing the control valve completely, right? yea, I can shut off the fuel to the motor, using the fuel shut of valve at the tank, then drain the fuel...

Thanks Dave, Uploaded the vide to of the tractor running to You Tube, here is the link: You can see how the tractor shakes the steering wheel when I take my hand off it, it even shook the phone in my hand as I was getting of the tractor and laid my arm on the lift post to get off while...
