Plowing engine trouble

[California]

And the other common cause for that, aside from plugged fuel line (gelled, or debris) is ... no air venting into the fuel tank. If you have a solid cap, not the fuel gauge kind, this is common. In any case crack the cap open so it can breathe then try bleeding it again.

Off my sons old dirt bike I kept for parts. Not Pretty but won't have the problem of Venting.

Thanks again everyone! I just got it down the driveway with the plow still down. Going to napa for filter and some 911. I would love to get it into the garage to get some heat on it but no way pushing it with the plow down.

Is it getting fuel? if not why not? (troubleshooting).

Auto parts store have a fuel filter for this? Sorry for the questions my first tractor.

Yea they will. I know carquest and napa will have them. You can even look your tractor up on the napa site as its an american tractor.

You can plug your air intake with snow too, if it is blowing bad. That will do the same thing.....

You can also jack the plow up with a floor jack, chain it up or use comealong, then push it into the barn.... Or make some temp wood skids/ski's and let the plow back down...

Just got back from Napa the fuel filter matched exactly to what I have 3262. Thanks for that. I got some 911 to thank god cause on the way home my diesel truck gelled up at the fuel filter and died on side of the road dumped some 911 in and 20 seconds later back on the road.

If your pickup gelled or iced up i would bet money on your tractor suffering the same.

The fuel filter was frozen that's what happened. Now just waiting for battery to charge up some.
