Yesterday was hustling to get fertilizer out before the rain. I finally made out to my place with the buggy and several tons of fertilizer and the last step was to get the tractor hooked up to the buggy. The tractor started up right away and then died after 10 seconds. The tractor is a simple all mechanical tractor with no complicated electronics, emissions systems, DEF bs, interlock switches, coffee warmers, or built in seat massager. So I knew it could only be a problem with air or fuel delivery. Cracked a fuel line going to one of the cylinders, cranked the tractor until fuel started squirting out, tightened the line back up and I was in business. Must be an air leak somewhere which I'll tract down later.
