I have a friend with a 966 that was having a similar problem two weeks ago. He was using it on a haybine. Would work fine for about 2 hours and then want to cut out and die. It would not stall or die completely though. If he let the tractor set for a while (over night?) it would run fine again, but for a couple hours only.

He change fuel filters, checked fuel lines and the cap on the tank to make sure it was venting properly. However the problem persisted. Finally he decided to drain all the fuel out of the tank and check inside.

What he found was the silver round tab off a plastic oil bottle had found its way into the tank and after a couple of hours of operation would suck to the bottom of the tank outlet and restrict the fuel. He used a pair of long wooden dowels to fish it out. Problem solved.

So often something simple cause what we may think is a complex problem.

Good luck
