This is a long sad tale, but I'll try to keep it short. I'm in Ohio, my '49 M is in the middle of a half mowed brush field in South Carolina. I was mowing for about 4 hours with a 6' bush hog. Tractor started surging, power was low, governor would kick in and pick it up, then back to power being low. Felt like lack of fuel. Checked fuel system, everything looked ok. Pulled Champion D21 plugs, slightly carboned up, but not bad. Pulled distributor cap, nothing obvious. Started tractor back up, seemed to run a little better, started across field, tractor died as if the switch had been turned off. No warning, no unusual sounds, etc. Engine turns over nicely, but no attempt at firing. Got disgusted, came home. Now I need to go back and fix it. Any clues as to where to look? I realize this is a mystery, but you guys seem very good at solving this sort of thing. Thanks.
