I'll get straight to my problem. My Farmall 460 idles fine, but when I put it into gear and drive for 300-500 yards (1/4 mile or so) or am working with the hydrolics (pushing snow) for only a little while the engine just dies. It smells of gas like its either getting too much or not enough (not sure which) I've pulled the fuel line and have a nice stream (not too fast, and not dripping slow). I've also used a carburetor cleaning kit and changed out everything it instructed. When the same problem was still present I then cleaned out the oil pan and pipes for the air cleaner. After that (problem still the same) I installed an additional fuel filter to make sure gas wasn't dirty. I have also replaced the choke cable and made new adjustments to the idle and inflow. I'm at a loss and looking for new ideas. It idles fine and can rev engine with no problems even after it dies. t its just after a short amount of use (in gear) when things go wrong. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!!

It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
