This may or may not be your problem , BUT here goes , back when i was jockying equipment and fixen tractors and STUFF i was at and Auctioneer friend of mine sale one day and i was there to buy tractors and anything that might work for me , He had his neighbors 750 Massey combine with both heads and a header cart to sell . A nice low hour machine as it had around 1850 hours and it showed it . when they went to start it on a brisk March morning she would not turn over as the batterys were dead and his kid brought down a ford ranger and tried to jump it with K Mart jumper cables . Well that was a no go and Gary said that it ran like a swiss watch and would stand behind it and have it up and running before you came and picked it up . so they started off and NO BODY would put a bid on it , ya can't sell something if no body bid . So i threw a bid in and trust me it was a cheap bid and Gary took my bid and some other guy jumped in and it was off to the races . At my last bid of 2850 this other guy dropped like a rock and walked away and i now owned a super nice 750 Massey not a silver cab but it was one of the last white cabs with the AT 6 354 and it was a hydro came with and 1163 corn head and a 1859 U2 16 footer and a header cart . When i went to pick it up Gary told me that there was something wrong with it as they charged the batterys but something was draining them over night I told him that i would figure that out when i got it home and we jumped it off my truck and drove onto the lowboy and it was Ohio bound . The problem there was a short in the Alt. I sold that combine to a good friend . well My friend called when he was getting ready to do wheat and asked if i would come up and help set it up , so i did and i was the first to run it . half way around the field she started to stave for fuel and died . I could here the lift pump pumping BUT she would not start so i bleed the filters and got it going and before i made it all the way around the field she stopped again same thing . what was happing was the funnel shaped screen in the tank on the end of the sediment bowl was getting plugged with soggy bean dust and shutting off the fuel flow to the pump . Now that was back when diesel fuel was diesel fuel and not the Ultra low sulfer jumk of today so my take on this is that the lask of lube in the fuel and the lack of fuel getting to the pump plus the extra heat in the engine compartment my be a cause of your problems . we pulled the tank off that 750 and i was shocked at the amount of bean dust sludge . There was a good six inches of that junk in the bottom of that tank and the screen on the end of the sediment bowl is about that long . So take a look and see if this is your problem and we add to our fuel Lucas fuel conditioner , we really hate keeping the pump shop supplied with and endless source of income .

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
