I mow about 5 acres a week with the tractor and a Woods belly mower. Last week it started sputtering on a pull with the pto on, I shut down the mower and put it in the garage (it continued to sputter). Figuring it was time for points, plugs, cond., wires and all I did that... fired right up and ran great for about 10 min. or around 150 degrees then shut down like I hit the button??? Buddy told me the coil will do that, so I replaced the coil... same thing. Figured maybe I was wrong in the first place and it was a fuel problem. Tank is clean, removed some residue from the bowl and flow is consistant, pulled, inspected and cleaned carb... jet looked fine... even made sure venting on cap was functional. Started right up... same thing!!! Re-gapped points @ 20ths and advanced the timing alittle today and it sounded great for 10 min. or so then shut off like someone turned it off.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I'm at a loss and the field is getting pretty high.

Some practical advice.
FIRST, when it stops, check the spark - if there is one! If it is a good, strong, blue spark, it is NOT the ignition system. No spark or weak yellow spark indicates an ignition problem.
If not the spark side, Check the fuel flow from the carburetor when the problem arises. Full continuous is OK, a dribble is indicative of a fuel shortage.
You need to diagnose it first, then fix the problem, not run round changing things which may cause you other problems as well as the original one!
So, first find the system which is at fault , then post back so we can give some good advice and not just be guessing at the cause, as at present.
Regards, RAB

I agree with rusty could be manifold gasket or just to add a little it could be your ignition switch or condenser also

ANY CHANCE THAT IT MAY BE VAPOR LOCK ?

Vapor lock was raised by one of the local guys, but aside from proper venting nobody presented a good way to solve the problem. How do you troubleshoot it and what do you do about it? Thanks all for the input, this has been a real pain in the... tractor ran great right up to last week. And I've done couple a tune-ups (including condensor) B4 without trouble. Since I've been investigating found the electronic ignition to replace, next time probably. Good idea, or not?

is the fuel line or fuel tank anywhere near the exhaust pipe or manifold? if so, you might try shielding it. bill
