[AT] winter projects?

[David Bruce]

Know that one well.  Several years ago my JD 2010D would start and run 
just long enough to be a pretty good hike back to the shed.  Turns out 
there was a "gumball" that would be sucked down in the fuel tank and 
starve the engine.  Eventually this required hot tanking the fuel tank 
and having the inside coated.
