Problem with John Deere Riding Mower?
Problem: Gas Mileage
The problem I have is that when I take the mower to the gas station and ride back I can only mow for a few mintes because I only have enough gas to ride back to the station for more gas. I called John Deere and they don't sell a larger tank, I make sure the tires are filled up and the oil is changed to get the best mileage. I thought about putting in my truck but it's too big...it's 25 HP! Sometimes when I've over mowed I only make part way to the station before it runs out...so I have it down that I can mow for 7 minutes before I have to get more gas...it takes numerous trip just to cut my grass.
any suggestions
Get a gas can and duct tape it to the mower higher than the installed gas tank. Drill a hole near the bottom and put a fuel line fitting into it. Run the hose to the installed tank. Now you have unlimited fuel capacity. You can mow, get beer, go to the tavern and the gas station on one fill up. Have you ever watched the "RED Green show? He would have figured this out in a heart beat.
