Good morning Cory and Jim! So far I had over 2 inches of rain last night and lots of wind. Few branches down but the cornfield next to my place was pretty much flattened. Its pretty bad.

Good morning fellas!

Happy Friday!!

Yeah we got an inch at best. They are talking rain the next few days though. Bring it on!!!!

On a side note, anyone familiar with the selector valve (dual tank setup) on '88 F150?

That won't be good. Hopefully some is salvageable.

I'm sure it will be salvageable but it will be a challenge. Probably gonna need a corn reel on the header and most likely combine in one direction only. Going to be very slow going if it works at all.

Well I don't have the front tank mounted or fuel lines hooked up. When I start it up I get gas shooting out of the front tank lines and it is switched to rear tank. So from what I've read is those selector valves run off hydraulic pressure. My thought is since the lines are open and not "pressure" is in them the selector is not able to keep it to rear only and thus gas bypassing valve and coming out the front lines. Make sense? Thoughts? Anyone?

That is possible. I remember back in the day my dad had a '87 F150 and he always had to run off one of the tanks first because if not it would push gas out. Guessing the same issue here. he never fixed it just always ran the one tank down first and then it wasn't an issue or only fille dthe one tank.
