sgtbull said: (quoted from post at 23:44:05 08/23/11) Actually, the tractor is a Ford 4000.. but I"ve always gotten better info on this site.. its not a recently rebuilt engine and performs well enough the rest of the time. It is a gas tractor. I was hoping there might be some "typical or universal problem" that could be identified... I suspect its fuel related, but not really sure how.. fuel tank is directly over the engine and its likley its heating up the fule, but still not sure how that could cause the symptoms. (and, by the way, its a buddy's tractor and he asked me.. so I'm relaying the question for additional help.)
Probably dirt in the tank. It is getting enough fuel to idle and run along normally fine, but when you are pulling hard it uses the fuel faster that it is getting it to the carb. I had the same thing happen on my A Farmall this spring discing the garden, shortly into a hard pull it would spit and sputter and I would have to get off and clean the sediment bowl out and blow back up into the tank, it would run fine again for a while and then the piece of rust would find it's way back over the orifice. The problem with mine is that it usually doesn't have very much gas in it, because it doesn't get used that often and the inside of the tank is starting to get a rust problem. I'll probably seal it soon.

This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that�s wha
