Well it has finally happened; I moved the tractor from where i had parked it and noticed a spreading stain of fuel on the ground
I had been moving slash to access a tree I had just felled. I try to be careful when doing this but I can't see everything.
I drove quickly back to my shop before running out of fuel, parked it on a slope to try and slow the drip and put some buckets beneath the tank.
I can't see any obvious damage but it is wet on the whole bottom of the tank.
I did find a small, 5/16"+- ID, hose that appears disconnected with a little diesel dripping from it but it is not the source as it seems to come from above the tank.
Maybe it is leaking from what it was connected to but I can't see an obvious connecvtion point.
Has anyone dropped a fuel tank from an M6040?
Like I said, there is no visible external damage so I need to see the whole tank which means dropping the fuel tank.
There was less than a 1/4 tank so somewhere around 5 gallons.
Advice?
