Hoping I'm not asking a question already answered on here, but here goes. I have a 54' Case VAC-14 currently under restoration/ work horse when needed.
When I last ran it with a brush hog on the back it would run fine for about a half hour, start to sputter and die. I let off on the throttle and shut off the pto and the tractor idles just fine. On top of that there is white residue in the crankcase filler spout, I assume hopefully just the head gasket is shot? If the tractor shuts off it fails to start again without a lot of coaxing, either, check plugs, ect.
It is still a six volt system, generator has just been re worked with new brushes and voltage regulator, new coil, so I hope I am safe to say electrical is no longer an issue. If anyone has any ideas or has had this trouble your input would be much appreciated! Thank you.
