TravelinJavelin 620 #1 Posted May 20, 2017 well going over my 953 today and seeing how everything is put together and well I don't think she had run in quite some time well the first thing I noticed the ross steering was all out of whack just mainly bolts loosened more than anything was about to get a rebuild kit but looking over everything just mainly tightened it back to the frame and adjusted the cam stud? I think wheel horse was thinking they actually aligned holes so you could get sockets through and tighten never seen this on any other tractor manufacturer? well anyway after everything got adjusted hardly to little or no slop in the steering so that made me very happy now the next question is was it standard to see a glass fuel bowl under the gas tank on these? this the only thing I don't like about these tractors and how does one go about taking it out?

TravelinJavelin 620 #3 Posted May 20, 2017 no I don't have really a issue with them just the location of it more than anything I thought was strange place for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,711 #4 Posted May 20, 2017 They were always on the bottom of the tank and incorporated the shut off valve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indiana_Steve 125 #6 Posted May 21, 2017 Yeah they put that bowl in a tight spot. I just ignore mine and use a paper filter downstream. Someday if I need to remove the tank I clean it up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 60,339 #8 Posted May 21, 2017 Step number one, jack up the rear of the frame. step two, unhook everything that connects to the transaxle, step three, remove the transaxle. Now remove the tank! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
