    Anyone have a trailer hauled out of Florida?

    I paid more than most people would for my M105 trailer, not close to $600 though. I figured only having to go 20 miles for a recovery was worth the extra, and I had another reason to take the deuce for a drive. :-D

    fuel filter question

    I didn't remember the recess. Been a couple months sense I replaced mine. A good place to try for odd seals / gaskets would be at Messicks John Deere over in Harrington. They work on all kind of equipment from all years.

    fuel filter question

    Just my 2cents but I would get the correct gasket. Sometimes "o" rings don't take kindly to being compressed tightly without being supported around their outer diameter. They can split when compressed.

    MEP017A - Alternative to MEP002A
