No, straight gravity feed, with a hand operated globe valve (1/4 turn) shut off in middle of line from tank to carb. It did not leak, other than draining the paper fuel filter downstream of the valve while turned off and left hanging when I removed the carb to give it a soaking in carb cleaner. I drove it around at idle to park it in front of the garage, lots closer to the toolboxes. I have another rider with a 12.5 it it, and its a tossup, but since the deck on the other one is in much better shape, I am tempted to put the rear end/tranny out of the JD under the even older craftsman if I can see the shifter can be made to work. But Fred can have that bigger 26 hp craftsman ready in about the same time frame if not quicker, with a brand new deck under it. So I think I'll wait. This ones big enough to push a snowplow, if A, I can find one, and B, global warming ever lets it snow here again. We had 3" once last winter, and 3" only makes me drive a little smoother. My F150 crew cab is 4wd of course. WV, with all its hills, has more 4wd's than 2wd's in the small truck category. You want flat ground to park it on? Bring a cat and a few barrels of #2 to feed it. Ditto for the mowers, they wear wheel weights on the drivers and chains year round. I saw a 4wd rider, a kubota, at Freds, but it belongs to a local church. Sure would have been right at home on my lot. I'd guess it was close to $12G's new. Had that teeny single cylinder diesel in it. Wife's niece has the same engine in a miniature pickup, 25 yo, starts by steppiing on the throttle, and has never been touched. It just fires up and takes you anyplace on Rusties place you point it at. He has around 6k acres of Cornell land (Cornell is a land grant school) and around 1200 of his own. Was dairy farming, but the price paid for milk in the cooler right now is about a buck a gallon less than the cows eat, so he quit milking 3 or 4 years back and is now selling the grain that the milk barn used to need. And keeping the rest of the other NY dairy farms stock up. His Holstein herd is now a calf factory. > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
