Idiot Mistake

[Gene Blister]

I hope I didnt offend with that crack about the bottle. I’m just grateful for your help. Most of my projects are paralyzed without the tractor, and getting it back up and running is a blessing. I’m ready at your convenience.

Oh yea, you’re pretty close! Thank you! I have wood being delivered on Saturday, if you could make it Thursday or Friday that would be fantastic. Send me an email and I’ll get you the address.
And what do you drink? I’ll have a bottle waiting.

Don forget a snack for his wolf!!

Not at all, did you get my email?

Sending out a gigantic Thank You! to the Wolfman. He was kind enough to make a personal appearance, armed with only a tool bucket and decades of experience and savvy.

Accompanied with his faithful canine companion, he saved my hash with the briefest glance at my fuel system. He cranked the engine and red dyed off road diesel spurted down the engine block into my drip pan.

”Not the injectors at all. The flow’s too heavy.”

He twisted the fuel line’s bleeder plug. Tight, but that was where the leak was occurring. He pliered the knob loose, unscrewed it and found the copper “squash washer” missing. It had fallen into the puddle of diesel at the base of the injectors. He slipped it back into position, threaded the plug tight and saved me untold trouble and expense.

Isn't it nice when the repair is simple and inexpensive!

I love the way people with common interests, Kubota tractors in this case, support each. In this case someone with enormous knowledge and experience jumping in to help.

Well done to @North Idaho Wolfman.

I've got a 40 year old ex Australian army Unimog - same thing happens here with it. Love it.
