Tractor Problem

I have a 930 Case it?s a diesel it runs good for a while but then starts
to run like crap and then kills. It has been cold in Minnesota for a
while but it?s been like 37 for three days straight. It normally runs so
good. Is they fuel jelled or what? Any help will be appreciated.
 
Look at the fuel cap to see it ice formed on the vent hole. Easy fix with a tooth pic if the issue. Jelling should not be an Issue (I live in St Cloud) Jim
 
I doubt the fuel is jelled but I bet you have to change the filters. I'm in Mn. too and we came through some bitterly cold temp that may have had the fuel jelled at that time. Seams filters never act the same after cold temps.
 
I second the motion to change the fuel filters. Not only is it an easy fix it usually is the fix. Also when?s the last time you drained the water from the tank/filter.
 
So after the tractor dies, how long before you can get it to restart? And does it run for about the same length of time. As I always say , a lot can happen to a tractor in 50 years. Your tractor should have three fuel filters, some don't realize this , and the third filter won't get changed. If all filters are in good shape, I think I would go back to the fuel tank, and flush it out, add new fuel , and see how the flow is to the filter. This sounds like an obstruction in the fuel system.
 
I had a MF do that same thing. I had something floating around the diesel tank that would plug the fuel tank drain. Since that happened a few times I found out what was going on. I put a screen on the tank drain, that problem went away. stan
 
wind chill has no affect on fuel in a tank only humans and animals otherwise fuel would gel up going down the road at 30 degrees at 60 mph would be 10 degrees
 
I would look in the fuel tank for trash we bought an Oliver Supper 77 diesel and had the same problem we cleaned the tank and changed the fuel filters no problems after that
 
Last week I had a diesel jell and die after two days of above freezing temps here in nw Iowa. First day was in the thirties and the second day was in the forties. The tractor was in an unheated shed and I just don't think the shed and the fuel in the tractor warmed up enough during those two warm days. It was untreaded #2 and I thought I was safe by pouring some treatment in it and running it awhile. I finally stumbled it into the warm shop and let it sit in there a few days. That cured it.

I had the same problem you and fixerupper have/had. Yesterday I started my loader tractor to go push some trees together that I'd cut down. I'd put some Howe's in it a week ago but never ran it. Anyway Friday we were up around 50 and yesterday it was in the low 40's when I started it. It was in an unheated shed and started fine. I got about a half mile down the road and had drove over a steep hill when I got on the level it lost power wouldn't pull itself. I looked at the strainer and it was clouded up along with the glass filters. It was barely running so I stayed there for about 5 minutes when it started running like it should and the wax melted in the strainer and the filters and away I went.
 
I worked in a shop that was a former Case dealership. when a 930 or 1030 came in for fuel problems we would change filters and clean the hand primer and the elbow in front of it . A lot of times dirt was in the pump or elbow. when you take the elbow off open the fuel shut off and check the fuel flow. might be dirt in the tank too
 
They have had problems with this new Diesel fuel since day one. If it was bought in the summer you could have problems with it. We started using fuel additive in 1.5 times the recommended dose and make sure its mixed good.
 
Someone posted recently with problems like that. It was the fuel cap. Moisture had collected and frozen the vent shut. Just something easy to check. Paul
