[AT] Fuel tank blues

[David Bruce]

After trying to pull start the god forsaken thing 4 times within 45 
minutes we pulled the fuel tank (known issue with rust flakes so time 
has come to "do it right").
The fuel tank for the John Deere 2010 Diesel is now at a radiator shop 
being hot tanked and then coated ($88, two day turn around).
At the same times it is due for a battery replacement.  The new battery 
will be installed when the tank is installed. - much easier to get to 
with the sheet metal removed.
I decided paying the $88 to someone who does quality work (I've used 
them before and was very pleased) was not out of line for the services.

A tractor is like a car - if either won't go when needed they are of 
little use to me.
