The 56 Chevy grain truck has an odd issue. Years ago I had a 350 out of a suburban put in it. It has run like clockwork since.
About a week ago it would not start on an intermittent basis. I replaced everything in the distributor when I saw it had an anemic orange spark. It runs like a scalded dog now, but still has the problem.
If you start it and keep it running for the first 15 seconds you are set. If it dies in that time it won't restart. It has an automatic choke that isn't set just right so it's pretty normal for it to be fussy those first couple of seconds. It used to always fire back up if needed.
When it won't start I can fix it if I crack the line coming out of the manual fuel pump. I let maybe three tablespoons of fuel run out and then tighten it back up it will fire right up. There's an inline fuel pump right before the pump. If it were a fuel issue there wouldn't be fuel there. I took the cleaner off it and found the accelerator pump wasn't spitting out fuel, so somehow it isn't getting fuel but it has it at the outlet of the pump. No blockages in the line. I've never seen a situation like this you could fix with a "blood letting".
Which needs replaced - the fuel pump (kit)or the fuel filter?

Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that �quick look over� before taking it on a trip.
