help! have a 1985 ford 1910 tractor, and its barely able to move or brush hog when it gets warm! would a clogged fuel filter or other filter cause this? i have yet to change out any fluids or filters. any suggestions would be appreciated!

getting worse, tractor barely moves in any gear, bucket works great, will lift tractor off the ground, but cant go more that1-2 mph! changed fuel filter(very dirty) oil and filter(it was time) and am going to change hydraulic filter today. hydraulic is overfilled and very slightly milky.

changed hydraulic filter and fluid, VERY MILKY. refilled and tested it out, SAME THING! will not go at all in higher speeds and gears, will barely go in lower gears and speeds. pto and bucket work normally! any suggestions on what to check would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like a fuel problem. Maybe a diesel injection pump. You could have it tested for pressure at injection pump rebuilder.

Do you have a small fuel tank with a shutoff valve/knob under the tank where the line comes out?
If so you might check to see if the shutoff valve has a small screen cartridge filter above it in the bottom of the tank.
I have a 3910 that acted like yours, years ago after a couple thousand hours, and found out about the filter being there. It actually is acting as a dirt screen for dust and seeds that accumulate around the cap and fall in when the cap is removed.
I replaced the entire valve and filter for a few bucks and the tractor ran fine after that with over 4000 hours on it now.
Check it out.

ill check the fuel tank and fuel injection pump. i was told locally that they think its my clutch, as it will not go anywhere anymore. it (engine)runs like a champ, just wont go over 2 mph!
