Ready to plow but!

Recommended Posts

CD Long Jr

Installed weights, mounted blade after the hydraulic lift decided to work. Pin that unlocks the blade to angle is frozen. Can I pry up the cap on top of the blade for access to the pin? Engine idled down & stalled. Wasn't out of gas, but I filled her up anyway. Now she won't restart? Restarted after 30 minutes. Plowed about 10 minutes. Engine started spurting, then died again & won't restart again. The coil is not bolted down? Both bolts are missing. Anyone know the size? I have plowed and died 3 times. Each time I wait 30 minutes and she's fired up, I plow 10-15 minutes, she dies. I wait 30 minutes she starts, we plow, she dies. I really like the tractor, but this diein' & waitin' cramp's gotta get fixed. Gas flow isn't the problem. I have a full stream when disconnected from the 2nd fuel filter closest to the carb. I will loosen the as cap next go round.

Engine stalling, loosen the gas cap, the vent may be plugged creating a vacuum the fuel pump can't over come.  after it sits vacuum disappears.

Frozen pin... penetrating oil... whack it with a hammer... repeat... when free... copious amounts of oil then red tacky grease everything in the swing area...

:text-yeahthat:      I don't recall if you did this.     Remove the fuel line at the tank shutoff valve and check for a free flowing stream.    If not, remove the valve and throw the screen away   Clean the valve and replace with a new grommet..

Cap looks new, but I'll try it.

I have a full stream between the second fuel filter and the carb.

That discription sounds like a bad coil.  I had one on my 857 that did exactly that.  :confusion-confused:  It's like the coil heats up, doesn't work and needs to cool off to start again.

What he said. See if you still have spark when it dies.

That what the little research I've done suggested. When I looked up the coil on Parts Tree, it doesn't look like mine?

I had a second horse, so I could just switch the coils and fixed the problem.  I did a search for "bad coil" and a ton of good threads popped up...try that.  :occasion-xmas:

The replacement coils are shaped differently, some require a hole to be drilled and tapped and special mount.  The stalling you have sounds exactly like an ignition module failing, usually from heat and is more prevalent in summer but can happen any time.  When you have a shutdown, immediately check for spark. The original ignition modules are hard to find and very expensive, there are aftermarket kits that contain the module, coil, condenser and mounting hardware on the Bay for as little as $83.  I have seen good reviews for the cheap kits.

That plug on top of the plow frame is an electrical knockout plug.
