[AT] Fuel tank problems

[Cecil Bearden]

This must be the week for the 10 cent part to stop the 30K machine.  Our 
Disc mower is down because of a PTO pin that caused the shaft to come loose 
and bend ever so slightly and then it knocked out the u joint and we spent 
over $150 in nparts to repair, then gave up and bought another shaft from 
TSC store and shortened it to drive the mower.  However the safety shields 
are waiting on the little plastic bearing to hold the end of the shield 
since te new yoke takes a larger bearing.

The TS110 NH is down with a fuel tank leak at the fuel gauge sending unit. 
The plastic boss that is welded to the tank fell off and let the sending 
unit come out and leak 30 gal of fuel out.  However there is no good way to 
repair it without replacement of the tank at $526.

Once again, reliability is non existent.   When we had metal tanks we could 
have the radiator shop weld them.  Radiator shop  will not touch this, they 
say it will not hold, for more than a year and I will be pissed at them. 
Admire their honesty.   We used to put a bolt in the pto shaft collar to 
hold it on the tractor,  There are no more holes in the shaft.. Tractor is 8 
years old and  dealer says there is no recall or TSB on the tank but they 
have replaced a lot of tanks...
