MF 1250

[Chief_Richard]

This is my first post and boy do I need help. My tractor just died right in the middle of the road. I was moving stone with the front loader and it was just like I'd turned the key off. It would crank but not start. Engine was warmed up but definitely not hot and I'd just topped off on off-road. And, number two problem, the very same day, I developed a leak on the inside of the front wheel area. Please help.

Mine's a 1993. Any help will be much appreciated.

Chief_Richard, First let me welcome you to TBN, It sounds like you have lost fuel supply as in clogged fuel filter ,when was it last changed ?,also you said you just filled up I always gringe when I hear that because It makes me suspect the added fuel as being part or all of the problem. But I would start with the fuel filter... Good Luck [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

NASTY135 thanks for the bit and the welcome. I love this site already. So much knowledge and courtesy; less BS than other sites. To answer your question, it's been too long since I changed the fuel filter and the off-road diesel fuel is the same lot I've been using for a while now. It's well protected in a sealed fuel tank. Dad always said to start with the cheapest and easiest solution first. Thanks again.
