Komatsu IHC 284 w/ Mazda M4-71G 4cyl. engine did not start this spring. No spark. Replaced plugs, wires, cap, rotor & points. Started & ran fine. OK for about 2 months. Owner ran out of gas. Filled tank, ran lousy. Ran awhile and smoothed out. About 2-3 weeks passed, tractor stopped running. Fuel in tank. Got it started, mowed for about 20 minutes, gradually lost power, and began to cut out. Caught it with the choke, and got it back to the shed. Pulled top of carb, cleaned considerable rust from float chamber. Sprayed out passages I could get to with carb cleaner. Accelerator pump was sticking in the bore. Cleaned out bore, installed new accelerator pump. Removed rust from sediment bowl. Ran great. 3 weeks passed, tractor stopped running. Hard starting, ran OK for about 10 minutes & died. Pulled tank & carb off for a thorough cleaning. Got considerable rust out of tank. Very little debris in sediment bowl. Carb float chamber still clean. Completely dis-assembled carb and cleaned, noting position of mixture screw, and float. Assembled carb, dried tank, put tractor together. Put on new fuel lines & filter.Cranked until air cleared of lines & started. Ran good for a few minutes & died out. Would re-start breifly & die out. Took half hour for supper, started tractor & ran fine, for about 5 minutes & died out. Re-started & died out. Suspected fuel pump. Bypassed pump, enough fuel in tank to gravity feed. Same results. Gave up for 2 days. Tried again. Hard starting & dying out. After 3 or 4 tries, engine caught, ran great and mowed for 2 hours until I shut it off. Re-started easily several times after. What the H--- is going on? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
