Tractor In Question: Farmtrac 665DTC, basically an Indian Copy of the Ford 5000 series, with a ripoff of the Ford 201 three cylinder diesel & Bosch Mico Injection system.
Problem: Tractor sputters and dies as though it is not getting fuel, it only does this after 30 minutes of operation and particularly while going uphill. The tractor then will not restart for a few hours, and then requires ether boost to start. Upon using ether, the tractor will startup, run rough, then even out and idle ok- even low idle. So long as you don't run it for longer than 30 minutes or try to drive up hill, the tractor is fine, will stop and start. Run it for 30 minutes and drive up a steep hill(I live in the mountains) and the tractor acts like it is not getting fuel and dies out.
Background:
I recently had a fuel contamination problem where both fuel filters got contaminated with water. This is where this began- the whole not getting diesel fuel type symptoms. Both filters were so badly damaged, I had to replace them at the same time. I bled the system as best I could and then used ether to finish bleed as I only had myself to do this with. It still died on me going up a hill, so I cleaned out the screen that is attached to the gas tank petcock. I still have the problem.
It is like the tractor suddenly isn't getting diesel and just dies.
Thoughts ? Suggestions ? And I don't mean burn it down for insurance money, either, guys.
Thank you in advance !
