NOW, I am currently dealing with - I think - a fuel problem. It was about 28*F the other day when I started the 3-cylinder diesel. I planned on letting it idle @ ~1000rpms for ~10 minutes before driving it and running the loader. By the time the 10 minutes had nearly passed & I had returned to the tractor, the engine was "surging". When I moved the throttle lever, it made no difference to the rpm level, as if it was disconnected. Sooooooo, I shut it off. Later, I removed the fuel filter outer cup and inspected the fuel; I saw no water in the fuel in the cup. I dumped the filter cup and 3/4 filled it with Power Service 911. Diesel 9 Then dumped the remainder of the container in the 8.5 gallon fuel tank on the tractor. I know, that is not exactly according to the product directions, but that is what I did. I plan to start and run the unit tomorrow, so I'll report back here as to how it behaves....... wish me luck! BarnieTrk :steeringwheel:

Well, I did the PS 911 treatment yesterday, and today (42*F) it started, ran fine for about 5 minutes, I took it for a circle about the yard, and within another 5 minutes or so, it started to cut out and finally died. Now it sits in the yard under a tarp.....'cause it's supposed to rain/sleet tonight. I think I'll need to move this problem/discussion to a new thread!

Ok , I had a similar problem on my diesel air compressor . I was getting what looked like fibers in the diesel , It clogged the fuel filter and got in the electric ( non stock ) fuel pump . The engine would run at idle , but when it started under load it would spit and sputter , the rpms would go up and down. I added a second paper element fuel filter right out of the tank , it was cheap and it solved the problem . After about 25 hours of use that filter was all clogged up , I replaced it and the machine ran fine .

I just bought a NH 1925 similar to yours

I have seen almost new filters on those tractors need to be replaced because they wouldn't flow enough fuel to run above idle. They are cheap enough, just replace it.

Hi Fellas,
Not to worry any further..... my tractor is running fine again!

What happened? Well, I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I discovered that I topped of the fuel tank with about 3.5 gallons of GASOLINE instead of diesel fuel!
So, my fix was to remove the fuel line leading from the tank to the fuel filter, draining the tank and draining the filter housing cup. I then refilled the tank with fresh diesel fuel and purged the line via loosening the bleed bolt. The tractor started and now runs GREAT!!
A BIG THANKS to everyone for your suggestions and support! :drink:

Thanks for the warm welcome, deerseeker001 and Thomas! :biggrin:



Lastly, I have replaced the leaky valve stem on one rear wheel and all four corners seem to be holding air fine now.

What size valve stem did you use? I have a Ford 1910 that I also need to replace the valve stem. Is there a size that I need to look for? Tractor Supply?

Sruman,
I don't know what size it was - I simply went to my local FORD / NEW HOLLAND dealership and they looked it up and sold it to me. I do recall that it is a two-piece unit... there is a section that is fastened to the wheel and another outer section that screws into it. The valve stem is inside the outer section. I simply unscrewed the outer section and screwed on the new one and,,, whalla!...all was well again! I doubt Tractor Supply would have it.......
