Hi I have a 1942 Farmall H that I just purchased about 5 days ago. Today I was out pulling a 2 bottom plow that came with the tractor. While pulling about 3/4 of the way into my first pass, the tractor suddenly began to lose power and then began to sputter and stalled out about 45 seconds later. From this point on it was a nightmare. We would finally get the tractor started and it would run like it was starving for fuel kind of acting like it wanted to die out for a couple seconds then run good for about 10 seconds. We played with the carb screw adjustments a lil and that seemed to fix it just driving around and then hooked back to the plow and bam did the same thing. From then on it would start and run a lil bit then keep stalling out. Checked the fuel sedement bowl where the gas turns on and it was clean. The tractor has great gas flow to the carb. Not sure what the issue may be. Leaning towards the carb. The guy I bought it off of said that he has had it 20 years and only brushhogged a couple acres and plowed his garden. Im 2 bottoming 7 acres of basically virgin ground. Any pointers are helpful! Thanks. Nick
