Yesterday the Lizard was employed to earn its keep and somewhat failed me in the process. Got the pickup stuck in the pasture and didn't feel like unhitching the cutter from the tractor so I fired the green iron up. Got out there, got the little truck unstuck, started backing the beast into the shop and it died just before reaching the door. Checked the fuel, etc, fine.....the only thing that will kill this truck is an air leak. I shut the fuel off at each tank and flipped the switch tothe auxillary electric pump and pressurized the lines. Heard that tell tale hissing sound shortly thereafter, seems I cracked one of the old steel lines while moving them when I was repainting the interior. I'm about fed up with this air leak mess so I'm ripping all of it out and replacing them with new stainless steel lines and pressure fittings. Most of the fittings are Banjo connections so i'll just use a pipe cutter and cut the line 2" from the fitting and use a piece of rubber hose to couple the stainless steel lines to the original connections. Should fix this.
