Ok so I posted about this a while back. I have a 5130 that will die on me after using it for an hour or 2. It happens whether it's cold or not. Seems like it does it more when the tank gets below 3/4 - 1/2. So I finally got time to tear into it. I pulled the seat out to get to the fuel lines. I pulled them off the 2 tubes coming out of the top of the tank. I then turned that piece and pulled the whole thing out of the tank. The tubes are metal from top to bottom so that throws out my thoughts of the tubes being brittle and not able to pick up fuel when it gets to a half a tank. The next thoughts I have are replacing the 2 fuel lines going from the tank to the block. Have a new priming pump but have not put it on yet because I can't imagine that is the issue. I'm grasping at straws here trying to figure this out without using the shotgun approach and replacing things that don't really need replaced.
Second question is on the heater cock shutoff. On the right side of the tractor is the shutoff. Which direction should it be turned for the coolant to not flow to the heater?
All thoughts and insight is greatly appreciated. I'm a beginning farmer and this is my only tractor that I use for everything. Thank you all.
