Bought it in the fall. Plan on going through all maintenance stuff in the spring. Have used it a few times to push snow back up here in Pittsburg.
Last time I used it it ran perfect until I backed it back into place. It stalled all of a sudden. No run bad for a while. Just a real quick sputter and it shut off.
I have not tried to trouble shoot equipment like this before. I am thinking I need to replace filters to start with. I does have fuel in it but the gauge does not work. I use the stick method and there is about 4" on the stick.
I have yet to read up on priming the fuel system, but I am sure I will have to do that as well when I do filters.

Well thats where I always start is changing the filters, I have cured a lot of things like you said with just changing the filter. To prime the system on my old Deere Backhoe it has a leaver on the fuel pump that you need to move up and down to get a prime on the pump. I also fill the filter with fuel when I change it. I use the prime leaver for about a minute before I attempt to crank the motor, and BAM starts right up. Hope this helps. Angelo

You didn't say whether it was gas or diesel, but assuming it is diesel since you're talking priming. Can't help you with your problem, but if you go to this site: Yesterday's Tractors - Discussion Forums You'll find lots of people with lots of knowledge on vintage tractors. They've got general boards and brand specific boards. Not that you won't find help here, but when it comes to tractors or any machine you can never have to much information and help.
