I have just aquired a 301A John Deere industrial with a 3 cylinder diesel. The tractor starts great and will run for about 15 minutes. Then it just quits. If it is restarted immediately it will run for about 10 seconds and quit again. If you let it sit for an hour or so, it starts right up and will go for another 15 minutes. I have changed the fuel filter and checked the fuel valves, but it has me stumped at this point. I feel dumb, but this is my first diesel and I really need advice. Thanks for any and all help.

Twopops is correct. My JD 1020 had the same problem last summer. After factoring in my abilities and experience, I had the the injector pump rebuilt and the injectors tested by a compentent rebuilder.

After the work was finished the 1020 again "Ran like a Deere".

If I had tackled the repair, the whole project would have "smelled like a john"!

My cost for this service was 489.00. The parts only cost plus other expenses came to just over 300.00. The cost/savings of my time... "priceless!! Good luck. My.02

if the 401 has a roosa master injection pump the probability is that the governor gasket has come or is coming apart and small pieces of it is plugging up the return port of the pump and shuts the fuel off to the injectors.you could take the return line off at the pump after it has stalled and start it again.if fuel stops coming out of the port just before it stalls then youve found the problem.you can order new parts from a pump rebuilder.

It's got to be running out of fuel. unhook the
line at the fuel pump (not injection pump),and
see if the pump is working.There's a handle on
the pump housing to prime it.Some would run
with a half tank of fuel even with a bad pump,
but below that the pump is needed.
