The symptoms you described initially are reminiscent of those caused by a blocked fuel tank breather: as the pump draws the fuel it creates a vacuum in the tank which eventually overcomes the suction of the pump. Of course, the symptoms will not appear if the fuel cap is left off.

[@bigjim19741]

My thoughts exactly 👍

[@billbond2045]

My thoughts exactly too 🤘👍

[@luvstotroll]

Had a loader with a 3126 do that

[@extremegaming2280]

310 nostalgia! Glad to see Tommy using it. I remember the 1st video on it when you found this backhoe out in the logging fields. So much progress since then!

[@FLA30561]

80?!! Man looks 65! God bless good for you Mr.Tommy

[@ronevans852]

Hank, where is your side kick, hope he feeling ok . Wiley, is big part of the video’s

[@SoManyDogs]

This was helping out Family for Hank. Wiley is a business partner and buys/sells/brokers the equipment they work on together. Since this was just a service for family, no reason for him to be there.

[@benjaminstockton3917]

Thanks!

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

Thank you buddy. It’s truly appreciated

[@thomasburns272]

WOW, It was really great to see Tommy back in the videos!

[@Fatamus]

I was working on a 1965 International 5yd dump. I reworked the ignition, carburetor and the fuel system. The second time through ... I removed the fuel tank, you know they are much easier to pull the second time. The tank was clean. I'd get under load in fourth and she'd run out of fuel. What I found was the fuel line was 3/8", as it hooked to the tank, the steel line on the sending unit made a hard 90° turn into the top of the tank. Like the one there. The steel line as it entered the tank reduced to 3/16" then made the 90° turn. A twig had got itself in the line, when maximum fuel was needed the twig would suck to the bend and shut the fuel off.😳 . i shortened the story hope it made sense.

[@Joe.M]

Nice to see they got the forward and reverse controls back to stock.

[@danswartwood4580]

Thank YOU for your APPRECIATION to your subscribers

OLD GUYS RULE good to see tommy again good job hank God bless

[@Bman2020]

Hi to Tommy looking good Hank you are horning warranty good man ole 310 sounds great 👍👋🇨🇦

[@carlkidder7522]

The pickup line in the tank may have a small crack or pin hole causing air to draw into the line therefore making the tractor to studder.

[@donparker8246]

My doctor said I had high blood pressure and I'm overweight. I told him I wanted a second opinion. he said, "Okay, you're ugly too,"🤣

310 are great size for a yard machine great video thanks Hank

[@terrymangum7635]

Enjoyed this video Hank. It was good seeing Mr. Tommy again!

[@davida.p.9911]

Good to see the old 310 again!! And good to see her working hard for Tommy. 😎 I hope he gets many more years and hours out of her! Excellent job on the repairs Hank! Take care and God bless!

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

Thanks buddy

[@bigmackstruckstop9213]

Your show is great and I enjoyed it and I'll catch ya on the next one.

[@morrishouck8577]

How are you Hank. Greetings from Deep South Texas. Its amazing how an air leak in a hose will cause problems and drive you crazy looking for it. Good to see your father-in-law again. Hope old Wylie’s doing well.

[@wynottgivemore9274]

Yes , me with my 1972 Chey 1/2ton when I bought it, it drove fine the engine was a little rough running so I always had planned on replacing it with a bigger engine and I just kept driving it thinking it would blow up, until it got worse and it wouldn't shift proper and just ran bad ... One Saturday I sat on my lawn chair with a beer and just took a look at my beautiful truck that I thought I was gonna start taking the engine out that day... I happened to see a hose hanging down under the truck by the transmission area.🤔 So I crawled underneath low and behold I plugged that sucker into a port on the transmission started itup and it ran and drove 100% it was the vacume that probably had been loose since I bought it,cause it no longer had any issues and I couldn't believe just how intricate our vehicles are ...it's like they are alive like us they also need air👍🙂✌️

[@philgrimsey3637]

Here to show love for doggo. My Seth is very, very similar but completely blind. Love em

[@g.w.stegall]

I just found your channel, and I love when y’all work on big machines and y’all are great at fixing the problems! Keep up the great work and tell Wiley he makes me happy when you tell him those jokes and they are funny too! Thanks for doing what y’all do!

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

You bet!

[@mullima]

I love that you caution us to be careful and preserve the environment about a minute before you do just like the rest of us and spill a gallon of fuel while prefilling the new filter. Classic, bro!

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

There was a bucket under it

[@edwardhughes3240]

Good job taking care of the family! Eddie

[@edneialmeida7612]

Boa noite muito ótimo esse trabalho máquina meu amigo

[@cliffstokes5726]

If it still acts up either clean the one way bleeder valve in fuel lid or replace I've had that issue on our 310g before it runs till it vapor locks the tank

[@benjaminstockton3917]

Good job, Hank your a awesome person buddy

[@heatherbrown2761]

Prefilling those filters DEFINITELY makes the prime much much easier. We do the same thing, 2 thumbs up for what you are doing. =)

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

👍

[@jarmstrong2843]

Ahs thunk Wiley learned ya real good werking on tractors. Heck, you barely used the Crescent Wrench. What’s this world coming too? But, wuz it making’ oil? 😂😂 Thanks for sharing, Hank!!!

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Hank and Tommy you did good. Got the back hoe to work again. The new sending unit and the new hose fixed the gas line problem. Good job guys. She is running again. Thanks for taking us along. The Iowa Farm Boy.

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

Yes sir

[@nelsonprice7018]

Good stuff God bless 🙏

[@georgeshehan5150]

The braided line is likely to have cracks in the inner hose, when it is submerged, it doesn't suck air. When it's hooked up outside of the tank, it sucks air, causing air pockets in the fuel delivery.

[@philgrimsey3637]

I was thinking that, too. Had running problems of a similar nature caused by an air leak on the suction side of the fuel system

[@thomasr.miller5553]

310 needs a new lift pump . Might be water in the bottom of the fuel tank ! it only takes a teaspoon to muck it up . Great video . Thanks

[@joejohnson7097]

Thanks for the video. In this case, there could have been 2 different kind of problems, 1 could have been the tank vent valve not letting it vent to fuel tank cause a vacuum, 2 the fuel pick-up tube could have a pin hole in it when the fuel level is below the pin hole it start sucking air, or fuel line hose inter liner sucking together causing it to starve for fuel

[@noelwarner1235]

I have had old fuel lines and rubber brake lines breakdown inside and come apart causing a restriction , and that can really happen in cases like your situation where the line may have been replaced with an inferior one

[@arthurbiringer5676]

Tommy has the right sweatshirt on and you didn’t need Wiley or Elvis to get the job done!

[@charlesbynum9534]

We're Willie at.tell him winter over now and spring is here .waveing my hand at ya from east Texas.

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

Lol, he’s around just wasn’t there that day

[@warrenhall829]

gday hank. im an old kiwi bush mechanic. i think the tank breather is blocked up m8.

[@slick12284]

So it runs fine with the hose in the fuel tank but not hooked to the fuel sending unit. That would indicate to me that the hose would be good but like you Hank I’m no mechanic 🤣🤣

[@thompa9056]

I miss Willie. Where are you

[@spencer1096]

If you can one day you should buy the 310 we have one on our farm and they are super nice and handy to have and even though this one has been in Florida all of its life it still looks pretty good for being 17 years old

[@Tall_Texan86]

Have you seen the videos about the replacement air filter housing for those earlier models? The mount can crack and break the valve cover and drop peices in the intake. Saw it on another video and checked mine but it's a later modle with the air cleaner turned 90 deg and mounted up front.

[@cwbean3087]

Maybe sucking air in the line or vent cap is plugged up. :)

[@MrSandman1974]

You need to get black Betty going so you can keep that Dodge clean keep up the good videos !

[@kevinballuff1164]

Hell naw, use the dodge for the work truck, keep Black Betty for a plaything and your Saturday night going to town truck

[@jsimm4587]

Boy Hank helps at a bare minimum there I don’t think any of them was lookin for a hose !! There watching “watch hank fix it” !! Lol

[@JRRott-mj5jq]

Yes hank you’re supposed to clean everything whenever you take anything apart always clean it especially when it’s a bit tuff to get off In first place

[@glenncunningham4679]

Hey, from Cleveland, Ohio

[@JRRott-mj5jq]

Hank why didn’t you plug the wires back into the new sending unit? Is there any kind of electronics on the end inside tank that has to do with shutting off fuel supply?

[@JRRott-mj5jq]

Hank it could have been some kind of vapor lock too. I’ve seen it before in stuff it’s weird stuff but it has to do with it sitting in heat and stuff

[@johndeere0930]

I’ve worked for Deere for years and those braided style fuel lines were notorious for breaking down and almost leaking through the outside lining of the hose itself. They’ll usually be wet looking on the outside of the hose causing it to suck closed.

[@phillipdickinson8557]

That was great simple but great but it could have been more he dose need it to work safe then sorry the 450 j nice machine thank you for sharing and your time can't wait for next one.

[@ralphriddle8864]

Good job and God bless yall

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

thank you buddy

[@ralphking5428]

I have found two problems with my John Deere backhoes starving for fuel...... I found that with a full tank, the machine starved for fuel more than it did with a much lower level of fuel in the tank. It turns out this was due to the air volume in the tank allowing the machine to run longer than it would with a small air volume in the tank. The lid for the fuel tank has a "breather" filter in it that gets clogged. I bought a new lid, expensive, and it clogged as well over time. I drilled a hole from the filter to a port that i drilled from the side, and that stopped my machine from stalling as the fuel supply went down. And...I found the hose from the tank to the fuel pump deteriorated, and let air be drawn into the fuel system. No amount of purging eliminated the air in the fuel system. I bought a new hose from the tank pickup to the fuel filter and that stopped the starving problems. Finding and fixing these problems took me over ten years getting to the root of the problems.

[@ronaldwestcott8418]

hey Hank you best cranking lol

[@michaelanthony3816]

The fuel inlet line from the tank or thee out put to the tank may be pluhged

[@PeterbiltBoy359-Kyle]

Glad Tommy is doing good Hank you guys still cleaning that property up with the garage that you in Wylie was there a few months ago??

[@freestonew]

Ah, Florida State University. I went there in 1960. I still live a mile or so away from campus. Good years.

[@lawrencepevitts2434]

Nice to see Tommy again. Doesn't Tommy have a 310G?

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

This is his

[@blaketindall5247]

That d4d yall got running would look good out there with the dozer and the 310

[@raulmatias4938]

I bet the service truck you have will be 100% better after you get everything straight with it

[@davidcarroll8533]

Hey Hank, I look forward to the videos. I see that service truck in the background. Are you any closer on getting it tagged?

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

Yes it’s tagged now👍

[@davidcarroll8533]

@Hamiltonville Farm Im sorry. I should've waited until the end of the video. It anwered my question. Lol

[@bburgess4634]

Good job happy happy

[@banditgrizzy1955]

😆😆😆 glad you can afford spilling that expensive fuel there. 👌😆👍

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

We caught it in a bucket. It didn’t spill

[@ralphking5428]

And there is a suction strainer inside the fuel tank that gets clogged with material over time as well. I found the only way to access this strainer is to remove the tank, then remove the tank pickup assembly, Then you can remove and replace the strainer filter. I guess no matter how careful you are with fuel, dust and some foreign matter enters the system, thus the requirement for filters in the system!!!!

[@rodgercottrill3342]

Worked on a little ddozer one time it would run off an 2 3 days and. Stop fond shop towel in tank

[@64marine]

Nice tunes guys

[@johnhicks735]

I'd check for sucking up dirt.,or debris from inside of the fuel tank from over the years of usage to. That fuel tank might need drained.& Vacuumed out really good to be free of anything down inside of the fuel tank itself.

[@michaelanthony3816]

Pressure does not collapse fuel lines, vacuum does.

[@SteveBrock-c7c]

Did thay change the sock, when thay changed the sending unit/fuel pump? Sock is probably collapsing starving it for fuel.😊

[@royfigley2099]

On our cat 310 b backhoe and our kelbco trackhoe we run electric fuel pumps and a small fuel filter I think the Napa number is 3003 fuel filter

[@wkwa2]

is there a filter at the bottom of the suction tube they want to get clogged

[@donlowe9125]

Good job

[@SteveBrock-c7c]

Is the fuel cap vented? Is the return line in someway cloged/restricked?😊

[@richarddavis3007]

Sounds like the pickup tub has a crack in it

[@rickbarger5161]

I was wondering if maybe had a clogged vent line

[@michaelanthony3816]

Is the tank vent cap plugged?

[@banditgrizzy1955]

All these suggestions are on point but none mentioned when moving with low fuel level in tank it will suck air into the system and your tank sounded PRETTY empty there. Most likely the vent tho if level of is at least quarter or above sixteenth. My gramps built and repaired John deere his entire life. Also make sure all lines are tight to injectors 💉 n rack and seals are good on the fuel system 👌😉👍

[@debztully1339]

I am curious to see what a vid produced by W would be like?

[@ericpeterson9051]

Could be a defective fuel lift pump ourJohn Deere tractors at the farm they go bad once in awhile and sometimes we'll get a defective one

I’m sorry Wiley

Check fuel cap vent. It might be plugged.

[@toddmabey1299]

I loved my John Deere excavators and dozer....but I sure hated both the glass fuel filters and the canister things....that lock ring was a real pain in the butt!!!

[@glennjukes5581]

JD could have just as easy made that a simple spin-on fuel filter.

[@ralphups7782]

maybe its the fuel filter, which is said it is in the fuel tank or on in with the fuel line.?

[@emt5451]

Was that 460 not a diesel? Looked like you filled the filter with gas lol

[@dannydrake7348]

Sounds like the pickup tube has a pin hole leak in it

[@thomaskanipe4615]

Either the hose has a small hole or the pick up tube has a crack or split in it causing it to suck air

[@philipmanfred3735]

Can you please tell me how I get Wiley's you tube channel so I can carry on with the clearcut I think your channel is Fab

[@thompa9056]

Wilie😊

[@jankro1]

Fuelhose might Have a hole and it suck air, but when in tank the hole might be submerged.

[@Nathaniel-ju9vh]

Goodday hank where's wily your sidekick from down younger (New Zealand)

[@petercrawley-cv7tt]

try the strainer in the tank

[@raypeoples]

If your tank vent is plugged it will eventually collapse your fuel line and you will be in the same predictcament

[@juliangerardcascio1111]

I wish you that 😕 Wiley had been with you for the joking 😕 🙃 around !!!!

[@alanlucas2886]

hank if it happens again check that the vent on the tank and the fuel cap is clear it will cause a vaxing of the fuel than the engine stop clean them out

[@InsanePacoTaco]

Its interesting how two of the possible problems involve air either making it in where it shouldn't (crack/hole in fuel line) or air not making it in where it should be (vacuum in tank due to stuck closed vent)

[@alanlucas2886]

@@InsanePacoTaco yes its wires tho i was caught out by a block vent in my younger days and not a lot of people unstand a block vent and theres one on the cap aswell as hank would say 15 years ago lol

[@wheels2199]

That was exactly what I was thinking, without a vent the pump puts the tank under vacuum after running for a while. I’ve seen this happen many times before on all different types of equipment.
