I was bush-hogging my land a few days ago when my MH 50 just up and died on me. It was running only about an hour before dying on me. At first I thought it had ran out of gas. After checking the tank, I realized this was not the problem. I checked the plugs but they also did not seem to be the problem. I actually burned my starter up trying to get it to fire back up. After rebuilding my starter, I'm still having the same problem. It puzzles me considering I've never had a problem out of her before. It just sounds like it doesn't want to fire. And when it does sound like it wants to fire, it doesn't want to take the gas. Could it have jumped timing? I'm also having the carb. rebuilt just to be on the safe side, but it was running to smoothly to just die the way it did. Any advice anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I seem to be having some similar problems. The culprit was my points. The first points that died took some time. Tractor would start fine, but tend to want to flood, then loose spark. This time I was plowing for 6hrs, I noticed a little loss in power the last hour. The next day, it ran for about an hour and just died like somebody shut it off. Both times my points were blistered. I got some advice from Big Dean to put some grease on the distributor shaft to cut down on friction heat which I'm going to do. How has yours been holding up?

At one time my MH-50 did this. I ended up replacing plugs, points, rotor bug and coil. Also carb has give problems.

I have a M-F 50 with Continental engine which I think is the same tractor. Ocasionally the points will close up and have to be reset. It does seem to lose power before it finally quits tho'. You did not give us much info here. Are you getting gasoline to the carb? How about fire to the plugs? Could be a coil problem as well.
