This is a recollection from some years back. Bear with me.
Ford pickups and medium duty (and maybe others) had an ignition module on the fender well. They are sorted out by colors as I remember - you might have a blue one for instance. I thought the coding was a little odd because it wasn't really a different color. Maybe it was a tag or something. I can't recall.
I only dealt with these once but it sounds like it may be it. I had a school bus that was fine as long as you were moving. When the weather warmed up and you did repeated stops it would just stall. You could crank all you wanted. When you opened the hood and it cooled down a bit it would start right up. Apparently the module was breaking down internally and heat made it quit. It caused bizzare things to happen. I only knew what it was when I mentioned it to an old guy who happened to have had the same thing happen.
From my experience it could have even been the field or way you were cutting. If a breeze was blowing on the module and it didn't get too hot it would be fine. The module wasn't expensive as I recall. Unplug it and take it in to Napa and they can fix you up.

It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
