Tractor update

So I have been spending most of my time working out in the yard when I am home.  I identified and fixed a couple of problems with the new tractor.  Refilled the hydraulic fluid, and replaced the fuel shutoff valve that was leaking with the proper sediment bowl.  Also used the bucket to cut down a mound that has been in the back yard since I bought the property.  It took all of 5 min with the new tractor and bucket.

I also printed a new knob to replace the missing one on the range selector lever for the transmission.

New shifter knob


Shifter minus the knob

Looks better now

The correct sediment bowl installed.
Funny story on how I came to have the correct sediment bowl for the Ferguson.  When I was working on the fuel system for the Gibson I ordered this one by mistake.  The place I ordered it from has a no return policy on fuel system items so it just sat in the box till I needed it for the Ferguson.  Talk about a lucky mistake.
