yup...every time I hear a bump, or smell something hot...I start to panic (I know they run hot...the smell is supposed to be there...it's not a well-insulated modern car..it's a tractor!). I just have to build trust somehow.

the previous owner did NOT look after it at all. I'm hoping that with the work done (new engine, new transmission, new cooler, new cooler lines, new OPDA, new shocks, new track bar, new tie rod ends, fully overhauled rear brakes) I have something that is at least semi-reliable. My mechanic (who...

Yep this what I mean. Fuel clamps and t-bolt clamps are the same thing to me

I could have bought two now for the money I’ve piled into this. I see people cruising around in them all the time and can’t help but think ‘why not me?’ 😢

going to replace all the clamps with t-bolt clamps too

Just a couple of regular worm drive clamps. I have a 13 row stocked plate cooler, I guess it’s just a case of pressure being higher than the clamps were good for.
