Hello,
My ford 9n started having problems yesterday when I started mowing with my finishing mower. When the pto was not running the tractor would run just fine. When the pto and the finishing mower were running the tractor would like throttle it self down and almost die. It wouldn't do this the whole time just every so often. When it started to die I had to push the clutch in and stop the pto to keep it from dying. It reminds me of a push mower or riding mower when the grass is too high and it starts to shut down due to the high grass. Now today I started mowing again and it started doing the same thing as yesterday every so often it would throttle down and try to die. Then finally it killed itself and now it will not start. I push the ignition in but the starter does not try to turn over and I do not hear it trying to turn over like u normally would. My guess is that I need a new starter but would this be the cause for the throttling down and dying problem that I'm having with the tractor? A little info about the tractor- I bought it last summer out of a farmers field it did not run I replaced the spark plugs ran all new wiring got a new battery for it a new alternator new coil new distributor cap new points new spark plug wires and a new paint job. So almost everything is new on it so my guess is the starter, but not positive.
Thank you
