I do not know if yours might do as mine but if I pull the dipstick and look at it ,it will show low ,I need to wipe it off and place it back pull it again to get a good reading.I guess it forms a vaccum on the dipstick tube after engine cool off from last use.That is the 50 hp foton the 20 hp dong feng does not do it. I will say this I go by the dipstick not the book.
I have a question were you on concrete or asphalt,I am womdering how you could have gotten enough traction to shear the shaft.Or is the metal in the shaft that poor.
In the dirt I have had the tires spinning pulling on heavy things,Have I been lucky?
It is a small tractor 2 wd with some parts common with a international cub it is powered by a kohler 14 hp gas .It is shaft driven with rear hydros.The neighbor has cultivators on it .For light work it works well.I am leaning on a frozen throw out bearing as the problem.But I have never fooled around with one sooo,I am looking to minimize mistakes by asking first.
if it was running well before the low fuel condition you have air in the system use the hand pump as suggested open the vent on top of the fuel filter pump till air purges out then go to the inlet of the pump repeating same method
if that is the only place you can feel slop replace it ,verses having them seperate later they are not expensive.
a few years ago I thought of doing this but was discouraged to do so cause of the run lenght time on the electric fan was to long,I will be courious t see how well long term this works out.
something you might want to think about ,I can not remember which dealer it was but,if your filter housing has a removeable nipple that holds the oil filter,someone makes a new one with a different thread so more common filters can be used.like I can not remember the thread size but the filter I use now is a ph8a .you can get them anywhere.really I had a housing that had a fixed nipple I bought a new housing with the removeable nipple and the adaptor so filters would be easier to find.
