I have a 1964 Ford 4000, that I have had for more than 20 years. I normally only run the tractor for an hour or so at the time and have no problems. When I have a problem it is usually after I have run the tractor hard for 4 or 5 hours, it just stops on me. Acts like it has run out of gas but it hasn"t. This happens to me once or twice a year and has for the 20+ years I"ve owned it. After the tractor sits for an hour or so it"s ready to go again. Over the years I have made several changes to the tractor, 12 volt -gnd, electronic ignition, replaced wiring harness, carb kit.
It"s hard to troubleshoot something that fixes itself.
I have been wondering if I might be experiencing vapor lock? Was wondering if anyone might enlighten me with the symptoms and cause. And some suggestions on how to prevent it?
