I have a JD 2020 (bought last year) and a 10 ft bushhog. Just in the last few days it has started losing power and even shutting off after about 10-20 minutes under full load. Runs perfectly before then.
I have already checked/replaced the fuel filter and bled the lines (it needed changing badly). Also earlier found an obstruction in the air intake-part of a bird nest--got that all clean and cleaned the air filter sediment bowl and added new oil (oil bath type).
After talking with the dealer today, i blew out the bypass line from the injector pump to the tank-but it didnt seem obstructed. Also, because it seemed to be running a little hot ( but not in the red at all), i replaced the thermostat and flushed the cooling system.
After all that, took it back out and ran perfectly under load till about 10 minutes into it and then started sputtering, losing power, and eventually shut down. No signs of overheating or any other visible red flags.
I am at a loss--anybody have any suggestions?
