    power loss once engine gets hot?

    Possible debris in fuel tank. It's a hidden problem that comes and goes. The fuel outlet is an unrestricted port at bottom of tank. The harmonic vibration from the engine compacts debris in that area. If this is the case, the tank will have to be removed and flushed to eliminate the issue...

    Along time ago after the STX and Rear engine riders were phased out, John Deere purchased the Homelight tractor production facility in Tennessee. That was the introduction lof the Sabre tractor 🤢 and eventual present 100 series we see today (Lowe's and Home Depot). Good for the people in...

    Tractor smoking

    Watch your oil level to see if it changes. Could be a bad injector allowing too much fuel into cylinder. Oil level would go up and oil would begin to thin out making it less viscous and lose its properties.

    B2650 stalling or not starting - one problem or two

    There are 4 safety switches 12,13,14 and 15. Tractor will start if not on seat if 12,13 and 14 are satisfied. If so and tractor dies when you depress HST pedal it usually points to the seat switch contact.

    lowe's wrong chain saw in box

    The store got scammed by the previous customer (sad case today). Be adamant about the issue and if no satisfaction, hopefully you used a credit card for purchase and plead your case to them. Good luck and helpfully a lesson learned by all.

    Kubota L3710 runs for 20 minutes then won't run at speed or at all.

    The best advice I can provide is to take points out of the equation. Definitely sounds like a fuel delivery problem. The post of rigging up a temporary remote tank is the best starting point. Just have to make sure you provide for a fuel return line to tank. A collapsed fuel line typically is...
