I have an 860 with Ford front end loader and 250# rear wheel weights.
The tractor is the original 6V system and runs like a charm blading, plowing, discing and using the front end loader.
However, if I use the PTO for mowing the tractor will run for an hour or so and then start sputtering and die as if it is starving for fuel. I can usually see fuel rushing into the sediment bowl. The problem gets worse going up an incline (heavier engine load).
I have replaced the fuel shut off valve, and cleaned the tank out somewhat so the screen is clear. The temperature gauge is usually a 1/3 of the way into the green, which is not a very good indication of what the true temperature is. I can feel the heat coming off of the engine pretty good. I have not completed a compression test, but the fuel tank has it written on it and the cylinders range from 90 to 100. I replaced the points, condenser, and coil last summer.
I am not sure what to check or try next. With mowing season starting up it is inconvenient to mow in small spurts. I am hoping that some of you experts can point me in the right direction.
