OK.......I was running down the road and the tractor started acting like it was running out of fuel. It quickly stopped running. I restarted it and the same, it ran for a second and that was it....
I immediately went to the fuel filter, and it was apparent to me that that was the source of the problem....NASTY.......I cleaned out the resevoir and changed the filter.....I also pulled the fuel lines, to make sure the injector pump was delivering.....The filter was really bad....I felt that a more thorough inspection was necessary.....
So now I have checked the obvious places, and it still wont fire. Is it possible that I need to do something else? I know that my escavator, needs to be primed if it runs out of fuel. Does the tractor need the same. If so how do I do it?
I need help, and refuse to take it to the mechanic. Stubborn I guess.
A little help guys.
Thanks.........Sean
