Yeah I was a but surprised myself how easy it came apart. Only bad part is a lot of this stuff is discontinued but I’ll have it up and running by the end of the month and will have a video of reassembly.

@@HaydenIngram yeah the fellow I purchased my 7 off of a few years took the cable control off and put it in his shed. He said it was suppost to go with the Caterpillar. But before I could pick it up he passed away and the family will not give it to me. Oh well that's way it goes. I'm not going to kick up a big stink over it.

@@brentreid7031 did you atleast get the machine?

@@HaydenIngram yeah I got the Cat but a few odds and ends didn't come with it.

I would just run that tank of fuel out and change filters again and fill tank with fuel and biocide and you’ll have to change filters again sounds like you have algae in the tank which is common among sitting to periods of time

@@HaydenIngram Thanks again for the help. I filled the tank when I got her home and added a cleaner and lube. I am sure I turned some stuff loose by doing so. Last night I tried to reinstall the cup for the sediment filter and dropped the nut/screw that holds in on. I had already dropped the screen filter and it disappeared. I didn't raise and lock the bucket and now have to be stretch Armstrong to reach in there. Being old and fat isn't helping.....lol

@@mikeleschber1316 oh yeah need to definitely use the lockout anytime you’re in there. The screen and the bail assembly should be a cheap part from the local dealer. At my dealer that stuff is kept in stock. I bought a bowl and screen for mine for around $40 or less don’t forget the seal too and mine takes a 1r0750 spin on filter. Very good filter believe it’s rated at 2 micron.

@@HaydenIngram I saw where you said to always use the lock when working under the bucket. I even use 2 4x6 as additional safety and still use extreme caution. I will go by by local dealer and see if they have the parts. Luckily I have one that just opened 10 minutes from my house. Thanks again!

@@mikeleschber1316 no problem let me know if i can help out any more!

In the 31e s/n range the bands changed several times. I still have no been able to locate my band number. Hell I’m still waiting on parts to recondition this and I ordered them mid June.
