Hi Howard,

 

:text-welcomeconfetti: to  :rs: !

 

The best way to proceed is to look at how the old line runs. If it has fuel in the tank, close the valve where the fuel line exits the tank. Remove the cover over the shifters to access the middle of the tractor. Along the chassis you will find it clipped/clamped along the way. These will need to be loosened to replace the line. Try to place the filter in the same place as the old one and use hose clamps.

 

Maybe someone who has this model tractor can post some detail photos for you.

Since you will have to feed it through the middle of the tractor, and various holes and such, use a drill bit of other similar part to connect the old line with new, and you can pull the new line in easily.  This worked well, and it did not get hung up, since the new line will have a natural curve to it.

This topic should be in the tractor or other appropriate subject location in the forum.
