I was almost finished in the hayfield, lacked about 10 small square bales being finished, and the tractor just up and quit. Earlier in the day it started revving up and down a little, like it had some air in system somewhere(maybe I didn't get it completely bled out the last time I changed the fuel filter, but the tractor ran fine the first few hours). It seemed to get worse as the day went on, at one point I happened to look down and notice the cav primer button was sucked in. I actually stopped for a bit, changed over to the baler, and the tractor went back to normal, other than I did notice what I though was a small damp spot around the bottom of the primer button. After baling for awhile, it started revving a little, not bad, just ever now and then. Then it died. I pulled the plug on the pump and cranked it with the engine stop out, and I was getting all kinds of bubbles. It would clear up, then come right back. It's either got an awful lot of air in it or its sucking air somewhere...any suggestions??
