I bought a tractor a couple weeks ago. Anyway it now has all new fluids in it, new filters all around, new head gasket, and so on.
What I'm puzzling over with it now is that it will run fine at an idle, but when you take it to the field and run it wide open for a while all of a sudden it will cough and sputter a little bit and die, just like my gas 560 does when it runs out of gas. Then when you check the tank still has fuel in it.
If it were a gas tractor I'd say the ignition coil is getting hot and the coil is bad, but I don't know what would cause a diesel to suddenly stall like that.
Also I am pulling this tractor to start it but that process takes two people. What's a handy and safe way I can spin it with another tractor? Could I rig up two 540 PTO shafts with a gearbox in the middle, and use one tractor's 540 PTO to start the other one?
