The lines may have crap in them and need to be blown out with compressed air. Make sure the sediment bowl is clean. It could also be a worn arm in the fuel lift pump(right side of tractor). The arm or actuator rides on the lobe of the camshaft and that is what pumps the fuel. Sometimes this arm has too much sideways play in it and it jumps off the lobe, or the lobe is worn off square, therefore it seems like it's not getting fuel and dies. I've gone through this before. I have even removed the oil pan to make sure the arm was riding true on the lobe.
Usually a new fuel lift pump will solve the problem.

On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
