Hey guys, I'm struggling trying to navigate this site so I may be in the wrong area. But I have an easy question, I think. I have a Rayco 1635a super Jr stump grinder. The gas tank has a tube attached to the gas line that goes down into the tank. This tube is plastic and has been damaged and I run out of gas with a quarter tank still left in the tank and sometimes when theres plenty of gas and I am on a slope. My question is, how does that tube attach. It is attached to a medal fitting on top of the tank. I thought it was threaded, but it just spins. Don't see how you could get a clip on it from inside the tank, but that may be. Anyone every take one off?

If it just spins on the top you are either stripped or you have a bulk head fitting ..... In which case there is a nut below your hose barb that needs to be twisted out. remove the whole fitting and go to your local hose shop and have a new tank draw made for your fuel tank should have enough fuel to run for 8 hours or better just keep it above 1/3 of a tank! Depending on size (3/8 NPT probly) I have found tank draws at local heavy truck shops as well.
 
Thanks Fairbanks. It to be a bulk head fitting ( cylindrical with another hose fitting screwed into it for the gas line). But doesn't seem to have a nut under the hase connection. I take it, you mean inside the tank. I checked the inside with a telescoping mirror.
 
I'm new to this site, but for the past few years I have been doing the stump grinder rental thing, its time I guess to buy my own. it will either be a brush bandit 2150 or a vermeer sc252, does any know if there is a site that has compared either model or should I be looking at another model. I limited by choices by the number of dealers in my area of what I can choose. Any help would be appreciated. Both have good products as I have had both vermeer and brush bandit chippers in my fleet.

cheers

Our Dosko is more productive than either of those.

I've been stump grinding for many years and had a variety of grinders. I'd be very surprised if your Dosko was any where near as productive as my machines, but if it is, Good luck and God bless.
