| Probably the brush hog pulled more power then the tractor had. With a nasty field last fall I had to slip the shuttle clutch on my d15 with the brush hog in spots. The other problem I ran into was the stuff it cut up being too thick to clean out of the brush hog had to raise it up in some spots. |

| check the fuel sediment bowl, something might be sloshing up blocking your fuel line! or change fuel filter |

| May be an injector pump problem or it is not getting a steady fuel flow. Probably the best trouble shooting is to start at the sediment bowl. Remove the bowl to make sure fuel is flowing. Is so, loosen the fuel line at the filter outlet and then at the pump to see if the fuel is moving. |

Explain what you mean by "rough spot"? Rough ground or thick brush/heavy load? ------------- 1957 WD45 dad's first AC 1968 one-seventy 1956 F40 Ferguson |

| Unhook the brush hog so you know there is no load on the tractor from the pto. Sounds to me like you might have gotten the brush hog stuck on something and the pto won't let the motor turn over. |

Careful with the "rod bender in a can"! Perkins diesels don't like it so much! If you starve it for fuel because of a restriction in the line, tank or plugged fuel filters, you need to bleed the system of air according to the operator's manual. ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS! This year: |

Look in the tank with a flashlight. I once had a leaf off a tree floating around on the bottom, stopping the flow of fuel occasionally. ------------- sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?" |

| I finally got it to crank with a can of ether, which I hate to use, then did some more weed whaking and drove it to the shed. But when I turned into the drive, a 90 turn, it did it again. I used the E again, no go but after a few seconds it started to crank, but failed to start. I tried again with E after turning over for a minute it sounded like it was going to start and did not at which point I shot the E and it did start. SO to me it sounds like a fuel problem. Something stoping the flow or sucking air????? |

| Start at the tank make sure you have good flow all the way to the pump before you get the pump looked at definitely sounds like fuel and like others said be careful with that can of rod bender. |
