Howdy folks, Well, today I've come upon another hitch in a long line of hitches associated with my farmall A. I'll have to admit, I'm starting to dislike this tractor a little. It's had about 10 times the troubles of my deeres. BUT that's a different story. Today's issue has me just plain confused. The tractor will start fine initially and run fine for a while. I take it to the field to mow and just as soon as I put load on it the engine starts to sputter like it's missing on certain cylinders. After a little while it settles down and runs alright. However, after a while longer the problem comes back and the tractor quits. It takes some cranking and then starts before cutting out again and not restarting. It won't work at all after that. Now, I thought it was a fuel problem but that turned out to be false. Nothing in tank, sediment bowl, line, or carb. I thought it was possibly the magneto. This I thought would explain the missing on cylinders but it turned out to be untrue as well. I bypassed the mag with a good coil and that didn't change the symptoms. I have suspicions about the plugs but the last time I checked them they all seemed to have spark. I am still suspicious of them and may replace them. So, the question is what would you all suggest. Like I said, I'm just bewildered and need an idea so I can get this hay cut. I appreciate your help. God bless. --old fashioned farmer
