Howdy,
I have a mid 80’s 1710 that blew a water pump and over heated in January. I replace the water pump and thermostat, flushed the radiator and added new coolant. After those repairs the temp gauge stopped working however everything ran fine. (Do I need to replace the thermostat sensor?)
Fast forward, about two weeks ago the engine started to stall after running for a short time, maybe 30 minuets. It would restart run for about a short time unless I added strain; lifting the bucket, driving it, etc. then stall out again. I can pump the throttle and sometimes the engine would respond while it was trying to run however it will stall out.
So, I replaced the fuel filter, changed the oil and filter and replaced the hydraulic filter. It started ran perfectly for about 20 minutes so I put it away until I needed it.
Today, I put the plow and harrow on to smooth the 1 mile lane however the tractor stated to stall about 15+ minuets of run time while I was putting on the attachments. It doing the same thing; stall out, restart and stall within a minute or two. It seems like the longer I wait to restart the longer it runs and when it starts acting up it doesn’t matter how much I pump the throttle.
The fuel filter housing is 100% full the entire time so I’m guessing it’s something else?
I’m not a mechanic in anyway however I am fast learner. I have no leaks from the water pump, thermostat radiator and fuel filter areas I’ve worked on.
I’ve gone through and read all the forums and responses however they bounce all over where to start and what to do; clean fuel tank, clean injectors, fuel pumps, etc.
Where do I start to eliminate possibilities until I find them problem? Do I need to replace the thermostat sensor, is that what’s causing the issue?
ANY HELP AND ADVICE IS APPRECIATED
Thanks
Troy
