Check your tank for things that may be floating around the bottom of it. I have a Super C Farmall that was like that and would sometimes just quit. A few minutes later, it would start and run without a problem, then may spit & sputter, run flawlessly for awhile and then quit just like someone shut off the ignition. After doing all the usual things to attempt to isolate and solve the problem, including a new distributor and coil, I decided that I would have to take the gas tank off, even if it didn't look rusty and had a good flow when you took the line off of the carb. I was going to run it out of gas and was using it when she quit. Figuring it was out of gas, I took the filler cap off and found about 1/3 inch of gas in the tank, but I also saw the round plastic inner liner from a can cover in there. How it got there, I have no idea, but after fishing it out with one of those push-button claws that bought for a couple of dollars, but I never thought I'd ever use, it hasn't missed a beat. It wouldn't float to the top of the gas that was in the tank, but it wasn't setting clear on the bottom either. I figured that it would slide around and get sucked into the outlet above the sediment bulb and partially or fully plug the outlet whenever the "its mood" was just right. Getting the plastic- like inner liner out of there solved problem, because I haven't had a miss or it hasn't died since I found and removed it. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
