I have a Farmall 400 gas that we recently bought. What little we used it until now it ran fine. A couple of snowstorms back I ran it plowing snow for about a half hour. The tractor started to spit and sputter and backfire and died. I had to go in the house for about 20 minutes and came out and it started right up and ran bout another 20 minutes and same thing and tried to restart and battery was dead.I jumped the tractor and got it started and put away. We took altenator(Delco) off and took it to parts store and had it tested and it tested fine so, we put it back on the tractor and tighted belts up. We also put new points and condensor in the tractor. Took The tractor and warmed up at idle about 10 minutes and ampmeter stayed about neutral,ran it working about 15 minutes and ampmeter jumped to 20 amps and with lights on would go to 30 amps. Worked about another 20 minutes and then started to back fire and spit and sputter and died but would restart and then die under load such as in 3rd gear or when using hydraulics. When idle down in 2nd I was able to drive back to shed. Next day I started it and idled for 5 minutes and then went and started to push snow and it started to act up and die again. I was able to get in shed and ran at idle for 2-3 minutes and then would just die but would continue to restart. I belive hydraulic pump is getting bad as well would this have anything to do with it? Any help is much apprecaited! Thanks,Duane

But usually, the storage battery is a storehouse of electrical energy waiting to be released a the flick of a switch.
