Finally got a day with no rain so I got the injectors on my "new" tractor bled . And it fired right up . According to the guy I bought it from it hasn't ran in at least six years ... I pick up the mower deck tomorrow and my neighbor has a 4 foot drag blade I'm negotiating a deal on .

nice thing about diesel and injection systems is they don't tend to gum up... unless algae has begun to grow in the fuel.
I got lucky , the fuel is clean and no condensation in the tank . I discovered yesterday afternoon the seals in the steering knuckles need replacing to the tune of 15 bucks worth of gear oil running out and forming puddles in the grass next to the wheels . Glad I only put half the gallon in .
In other news we had a colony of honey bees swarm into one of our empty hives yesterday . All but one hive had died out , the last one absconded . Full of bees one day and empty the next . That almost balances out the deer eating our strawberry patch . Leaves , berries , everything . -- Snag
