: : I use my cub tractor to mow with a woods belly mower. It starts well and runs well not missing a beat. On the average after running approximately 15-25 min it stops. I start it once again and off it goes running well. this may occur 3-5 times before I finish mowing.
: : I have cleaned the trash and debris out of the gas bowl numerous times. I use a high octane gas when running the tractor. I cleaned the carberator including a small filter where the gas enter the carberator.
: : Does anybody have any suggestions that may help? Thanks : You have solved your own problem. with the sediment bowl needing frequent cleaning. Remove the bowl ass'y from the fuel tankand drain the tank . When empty, let it dry out for a few minuits, then blow out tank with with an air hose, try and get all the rocks and gunk out . You can reuse the drained gas , just let the crud settle before pouring it back in ! Dale This is the best advice, my Farmall M used to do that and I took off the whole gas tank and cleaned it, I found the problem in the petcock stem. The old gas cap gasket had fallen into the tank and was plugged in there. The tractor would start after enough gas had trickled through.
