530, NO problem

[bruster]

After asking here and trying out things, I found that the "oil shut down" fuel bowl was the problem. The two times that I had pulled the carb drain plug, I would get a steady flow.
The flow would get cut off while the tractor bounced around.

No rebuild kit available and "Mother Deere" has a NEW fuel bowl assembly, but at $312.00 I"ll pass and buy the simple one from the gas mod.50

Thanks so much for all the help in getting me past my "brain fart" moments. Runs GREAT like when I first got it 7 years ago!

No kit needed. just 2 rubber diaphrams and a rubber washer. It likely needs a good cleaning out as the passages are narrow in them and I've seen many half clogged with "stuff'
