I'm experiencing the same behavior in the fuel gauge of my S220. I replaced the sending unit (which was a nightmare job) but no joy? Did you ever figure out what the problem is?

Spot on brother! I use to think I was the most popular girl at the dance until I sold off a couple of my often borrowed pieces of heavy equipment. One of my best borrowing customers even cracked, "well heck, why would I come over anymore?" My equipment and tools were being borrowed so often that...

Good points MRBB. Years ago I had a Ram 3500 Cummins dually and a 25' heavy equipment gooseneck trailer. I bought both new, used them frequently for about 6 months and then parked them in my barn for 4 years. I towed about 30,000 lbs with them in a single max trip. I had a grand total of 11,000...

I haven't done any stump grinding on my ranch, although I have considered a grinder attachment for my Bobcat? I have discovered that it doesn't take much soil coverage over a shaved stump to produce grass. And it doesn't take too long for a small or medium stump to become soil. Looking at your...

By the way, you mentioned burning stumps? About 30 or so acres of my ranch is in heavy timber, mainly coniferous and a medium mix of deciduous trees like aspen, birch and western larch. I have logged my woodstand for many years and have burned slash and stumps each fall. I have never been able...

I've owned a Yanmar B27 mini ex and a Case 580CK. I currently own a John Deere 310SE and a John Deere 450 crawler with backhoe attachment. I have used each to remove stumps on my ranch ranging from a couple of inches to 3 feet in diameter and from fresh cut to several years old. My experience is...

I have a 2005 Bobcat S220 apparently in need of a new fuel sender unit. Has anyone on this forum had to perform this surgery? Looking at my service manual, I get no help? Crawling around the raised cab I have not been able to locate the sending unit, and my 65 year old carcass doesn't seem to...
