Fired up the trusty old Case 600 this morning to clean up the drifts in the bale yard.
Fired right up
Left it to warm up a while
5 minutes later went to get wood for the shop stove, tractor still running fine
10 minutes later tractor not running
Try to restart, no go
Walk around side of machine to see a big puddle of diesel in the snow
The plastic plug at the bottom of the water trap was no where to be found
Fashioned a plug and put fuel in tank, bled all the filters and the day tank, still won't start.
In all the years I have owned this machine I have never run it out of fuel, now with the wind and snow blowing sideways I am trying to figure out how to properly bleed the air out of the system.
Engine is still warm and the cranking speed is good.
Any one out there that remembers, your help would be greatly appreciated.
