Oh, trust me, I've "saved" the tractor the last few times I felt it was running out. This time was hubby :lol: :lol: :lol: who doesn't have nearly the hours on it I do.

As always, you guys rock :) Once we figured out what "bleed" REALLY means LOL, and finally heard the "sssss" of the air releasing, it started like a charm :)
Lol the way you put that just called to mind the fact that just about every single time I do engine work I rake a knuckle or two and bleed... Large hands in small spaces...
Oh gosh yes, and it doesn't even have to be large hands lol!
Use the right tools, not force, and you won't lose a knuckle. There is a reason quality tools cost more than cheap ones.
same can be said for diesel truck starters also... I found that out on our 1996 F350... kept thinking the batteries, cables and those always checked perfect..so pulled/replaced the starter... gee wished we had a "Duke's Starter and Alternator Clinic " here.Quote:

Amen! But even then, it's not always about using the tool at all LOLQuote:
