Workmaster runs for 3 hours then power drop and dies HELP

Posted by Shealray on June 08, 2012 at 14:48:51 from (67.142.178.25):

Workmaster was running fine after 3 hours straight for cutting hay I started having issues

The tractor would sputter and power would drop. First I thought it was over heating because I have a front end loader and maybe this was blocking air for cooling. Next day the workmaster only ran 1 ½ hours and did the sputtering thing and power would drop. Luckily the cutting was done and we thought OK heat over load. We let it set for 2 hours and tried to rake this time the little tractor would start and then just die. We checked the ground for pushbutton wire and tightened and the tractor would start and die. We are not getting a spark. There is fuel. So now we need some help in trouble shooting. Now the push button will not start the tractor. We reseated the wires to the push button and it started once and died and now the push button will not start. I know all the push button is doing is grounding. So we tried taking the wire off the push button and touching metal to ground for starting this did nothing. Is it the solenoid, pushbutton switch or heat? How do we test to see which one it is?

Thanks for the help
