Dang, it's been one of those days !!!


Get the Garden Tractor with the snowblower started up, and put it on the other side of the house till snow comes in November. Put gas in the tank , and start it up. Runs fine. Moved it to where I wanted to place it. Then went to cover it with a tarp. That is when I noticed the smell!! GAS! Back end of the Garden tractor was dripping gas out of the Gas Tank. It's a Husqvarna 23 HP Garden Tractor with the Automatic transmission. Any idea what that might cost to fix ?

Then, comes round 2 !!!!

I Mowed the lawn with the lawn tractor. That went fine. I put the lawn tractor back in the 8x8 shed, and then it was like I hit a pothole IN THE SHED !! I backed the tractor out of the shed, and there it was. Big hole in one of the Plywood sheets on the floor of the shed. Going to have to get that repaired. Either Plywood at $87.00 a sheet, or might go with White Pine Boards at $1.75 a Board Foot.

NOT MY DAY !!

Dripping straight from the tank or just under the tank? Id check all your fuel line connection points, especially around the fuel filter if youve done an oil change and fuel filter service recently.

Those days suck. Luckily they're rare (hopefully)

Tank is under the Tractor Seat. When I looked at the inside left rear wheel area, I can see gas running down the frame that the tank sits on. Have a feeling that the tank has a crack somewhere in it. Dry on the right side. It's the left side that is wet.

I wiped out a skidsteer tire today. Just think, if I never used it the tire would still be good. But if you are not going to use it, sell it.
