Good Morning, I have a 1967 vintage (3 cyl) gas 4000. I was disking with it and it was working hard, but not so hard it was overheating. Anyway I would normally disk in Low 4th and when I would start out it would spit and sputter to the point where it would kill the engine. downshift to low 3rd and it would spit an sputter a little bit, but once it got going it would disk just fine. Once I was done disking I hooked it to the corn planter and planted my little 3 acre food plot. By the time I was done planting the spit a sputter quit. Pulling the planter is certainly not as hard a work as disk so I think tractor cooled down some.
I'm thinking it could be a couple things. One is I could not find Non oxy gas so I ended up running 87 octane with 10 or 15% alcohol so wondering if not some sort of vapor locking issue.
A while back I had a condenser go bad because of temperature. At that time the The tractor would be running fine then just quit spit a few times then just quit. Once it cooled off the tractor would restart. I replaced the condenser and the problem went away.
In full disclosure I put new plugs and plug wires on it last fall. I did not put a rotor cap because it was replaced two years earlier and I only run the tractor ~ 40 hours per year. By the way I had a very difficult time getting the plug wires to stay on the plugs. pretty confident it is no longer a plug wire issue because once the tractor was pulling the load and running it was not missing. Lots of screwing around till I got the plug wires to say in place.
