I have stearted the 3rd mowing season with a B narrow farmall w/woods belly mower. The past 2 seasons 1 or 2 times during a 2 hour mow job the engine would quit. I would hit the starter it would fire up and run perfect again. Now this year while mowing the engine quits every 10 minutes. I suspected a fuel problem since the carbureator and the fuel shut off/sediment bowl under the tank both leak a little fuel. So I took the carb off and had the local Case IH dealer clean it and repair it as needed. Dealer said he put new jet and seat in it. I put it back on and still have the same problem, engine shuts off every 10 minutes. The fuel line has an inline filter down hill from the sediment bowl/shut off valve and then down hill from that is the carb. So I figured the filter was plugged. The existing in-line filter has a metal housing, the replacement has a clear plastic housing. I was able to watch the filter fill with fuel. I put the new filter on, engine still shuts off every 10 minutes. However I noticed
that the fuel filter was empty. I fiddled with the leaky shutt off valve and eventually the filter did fill with fuel. So I thought it must be a faulty shut off valve, I replaced with a new shut off valve/sediment bowl. With the valve open the sediment bowl would not fill with gas until I loosend the thumb screw up under the sediment bowl. The fuel tank has 3-4 inches of gas in it. So after all that off I go to mow again and the darn engine quits after 10 minutes. The sediment bowl is full of gas and the clear plastic inline filter is empty. The only way I can get the in line filter to fill is to crack the fuel line as if to vent it (burp it). I finally got the lawn mowed after several engine quits and then filling the filter by
burping/venting sessions. I realize this is a gravity feed system but it is not working or is the carb some how back pressurizing the filter?? I even left the gas tank cap off while mowing and the darn thing quit due to no gas in the filter. Can someone please help me out...I would sure appreciate it.

New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
