Prater 75 #1 Posted May 17, 2010 Today was the first day this year for me to get the 416 out. I put her away with fuel problems at the end of pushing snow and ice. Had to keep the choke on full and half throttle of gas after getting a tankful of dirty gasoline. I replaced the filter in the line, pulled the tank of earlier and completely cleaned it out and put in a new shutoff. Today I pulled the bowl off the carb and had about 1/2 inch of mud caked on the bottom. I was able to clean it out and sprayed the carb down with some cleaner. After putting everything back together it was time to push some dirt, talk about a new tractor...felt like I added some cubic inches to that motor, I also added 1/2 bottle of Sea Foam to the gas. Dirtwork was no problem, sorry no pics this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prater 75 #6 Posted May 17, 2010 Yeah, I still have not figured out how so much dirt got in my fuel can. It was fresh gas, just full of red dirt. That particular terrace is 60 tons of dirt and 10 thousand pounds of blocks so far. That makes 22 fifteen ton loads of dirt I have replaced since the storm washed out the backyard...
