Our old scraper tractor has a few issues. First one is that the pipe that links the plastic twin tanks is most likely blocked with crud. We've drained the filling side but will have to do the other, before we deconstruct it does anyone know the size and fittings we need for the cross link pipe? Would be handy to have the parts ready to go as I guess the old pipe might be a bit shonky.

The other is that when she starts she kind of chuffs and runs on three, won't start with any kind of throttle which isn't a problem but might help with diagnosis. Chuffing soon stops with a blip of throttle. Not smokey and runs well otherwise.

advice appreciated.
