So I have done the following to troubleshoot the issue. I removed the carburetor, fuel line, reservoir bowl and cleaned everything. The Carburetor was extremely clean - no gunk at all in it. The filters were a bit dirty. I also removed the air filter and hose assembly and ran the tractor without it, and it seemed to run great. I did notice after some time that in the clear fuel filter I have the gas would flow fine for the first few minutes, then it would drip into the filter. I dont think it is getting enough gas. Again, it will run for about 10-15 minutes then it will act like it is starving for fuel - I pull the choke out it will run for a few more seconds then dies. I have the fuel turned on all the way, so it should be getting fuel from the tank. I drained the tank and refilled it, when I drained the tank it didnt look like any large particles drained out with the gas into the collection container. I also replaced the spark plug wires with a new set of copper core ones as I did notice that a few were a bit cracked and when I ran my hand across one of them I could feel electrical shock. The ends of the spark plug wires that run into the distributor were quite dirty and 2 of them were split down the middle. When the tractor runs now it runs very well and has more power - but it will still die after 10 minutes of use. Any further ideas on what to check next?

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
