"Afraid my old tractors won't start tomorrow if the guvment shuts down" - Ellis
Gas or diesel? Sometimes with the heat, you can get vapor lock. Try loosening the cap on the fuel tank. Have you checked the pressure in your tires? Low tire pressure might be the cause of weak batteries and popping out of gear. Are any of them eqipped with sawmill belt pullies? You don't polish them do you? If so, you may wanna consider wheel weights to offset the belt slippage. Blue/green antifreeze versus pink. Sometimes they don't mix well, especially if you are running hotter plugs and a rain cap. There are some other things to consider, but short of splitting your tractors at the rear PTO shaft seal, let's try these first. Personally, I have found that a 6 to 12 volt conversion sometimes helps. Not always unless you include a battery with the conversion.
Good luck though, and what color are your tractors? Sometimes paint color can be the problem too.
