Sorry, this is going to be long; I want to give the background of what the tractor is doing and observations. I recently purchased a IH 1456. It was sitting for some time before I got it. After buying it I was driving it to family's house nearby; it ran fine for alittle then the engine seemed to slow to an idle no matter where the throttle was. I shut the engine off, I checked a few things quickly. When I restarted it started immediatley. It did that once more after a longer period of time while driving to a place I could work on it.
I wanted to drive it about 18 miles home so I later changed all the filters except the fuel filters. The air filter looked bad so I thought it may be the problem. It ran great most of the way home; even going up a mountain. When I was almost home it started consistantly cutting to an idle, then would struggle to stay running and shut off. It eventually would only stay running for about 15 seconds.
When I got it home we drained the tank and changed the filters. We got the air out of the lines and it running again. But now it will only stay running for about a minute or two then shut off. It seems like it is starving for fuel, but I dont understand why it would run great most of the way home and now have the same problem even with new filters.
I dont know for sure but when driving the tractor would start doing it when going down a hill; like when the tractor was pushing the engine it would cause or make problem worse? Also every time it shuts off it will start immediatly after I push the switch without hesitation. It has the Roosa Master injection pump.
Thankyou for taking the time to read this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
