What happens here

The skid steer breaks down during the spreading process. The presenter diagnoses the problem as water contamination in the fuel tank, likely due to condensation from sitting for a while. He explains the solution involves draining the old fuel, replacing it with new fuel, and changing the fuel filter. He concludes the video by planning to visit a parts store to get the necessary items for the repair.

Goal: Identify the cause of the skid steer breakdown and plan the necessary repairs.

Tools and materials

  • Fuel Filter N/A — To replace a clogged/contaminated filter

  • Fuel Tank N/A — Container for fuel
