Finally started tapping this evening, hopefully we can get the rest of the taps in tomorrow. The trees are a little slow. Repaired our releaser only to have it break in another spot, this time it broke the plastic fitting that connects between the vacuum line and the vacuum 'switch'. It's a little black fitting. I tried to glue it back together but it broke after like 2 cycles on the releaser. I need to find or fabricate something to replace it. Has anyone ever had this part break?
