My farm fuel tank trailer. 105 gallon diesel fuel tank on the front; 50 gallon unleaded fuel in the back. Diesel tank has a 120 vac Fill-rite fuel pump; gas tank has a GPI manual, which works surprisingly well. Both have 10-20 micron water trap fuel filters.
Thanks Molly for...
Checked out OK. We spent m ore time talking about blacksmithing and knife making than we did on the RTV.
I did however, find a hole in my belt transmission cover! :(
Messicks = $65 for the cover. :(
I got a letter from Kubota about this safety recall. Then got an e-mail from my local dealer saying they tried to call me. That's three different ways they have tried to contact me.
I'm on the list for them to come out to my place so they can see if my unit is affected by the recall issue...

A member in good standing who needs it gets it.
From the time I started looking at a replacement RTV last March-April, Kubota offered the Line-X for free. By the time I ordered the XG, it had disappeared from the order process. :(
I don't recall anymore, this was last May. The buyer sent me a couple pics via text. I forget the exact words, but he said something to the effect that he wasn't looking for a return or anything. It was very clearly sold as-is where-is.
Go vs. Slow:
This is the only pic I have of both of them. A week or so after I sold the Slow version, it blew a fist-sized hole in the side of the engine block. :eek:
