Rick...I noticed that you didn't use the standard method of identifying whether it's fuel or electrical related. When it dies...spray some ether in the air intake...if it starts- you found the source of the problem (fuel). Also, when it dies...check the plug wires for fire...if none- you found it's electrical. Reminds me of a story told to me once...A bunch of guys were just finishing up a days work on a railroad section gang and most were standing around one car with the hood up that wouldn't start. No one positively identifying the problem. Coming by was a fellow that never drove, always rode with someone else and knew absolutely nothing about the mechanics of an automobile. One fellow said "Bob, what's the matter with it"? Bob never missed a step as he headed for his ride and commented "she needs a new commencer". That story is probably 40 years old and still going. I guess we need Bob to walk by your tractor. Fred OH
