It is a reservoir for hydraulic oil for the main hydraulic pump. Its purpose is to supply oil to the main hydraulic pump during start-up to prevent cavitation. Cavitation is caused by "vacuum" created by the main pump when it is not receiving any charge oil from the transmission pump. Without this, damage and wear will occur to the main pump due to lack of lubrication, and in time will give you weak hydraulics and then require either a complete replacement or complete overhaul of the main pump, to the tune of roughly $1000-$2000. Hope this helps!
Some were actually made by John Deere, newer versions are made by Murray ,I was informed if the gas tank is in the rear,it's a John Deere,if it's in the front it's a Murray version!
The John Deere gasoline tank on the 2305 can hold a lot of gas. It can hold up to 100 gallons of fuel that will last a few days if not a week. The tank is very effective.
back of tractor below fuel tank.
no, but there is an inline filter.
The fuel tank will be provided by the chassis manufacturer. What do you have? Chev, John Deere, Work Horse, and so on?
Had same problem with my John Deere 335. It was because there was dirt in gas tank and fuel filter was half clogged. Need to replace fuel filter.
The manual says replace the gage if it doesn't read when parked on level ground and gas in the tank.
it might be underneath the engine. it is completely enclosed be a cover that has a nut on the bottom of it. its about 2.5 feet from the oil tank.
before that can be answered , you need to tell what needs to be repaired throw it away buy a john deere

If your wondering why you get better fuel economy in the front tank is because it is an over flow tank. That mean when your running on the rear tank your are actually dumping fuel into the front tank when ever you hit your breaks hard and the engine also returns fuel to the front tank that isn't needed from the rear. that is why you get better millage on the front tank and worse on the rear tank.
Many a tank was replaced under warranty. We used to remove the two bolts beneath the seat and lift the operator deck enough(and block it up with a piece of 2x4) having removed the fuel cap. It should slide out to the rear and left.
