Hi John, Call a pump guy or an electrition if you don't know what you are doing!!! My guess is the pressure switch. Do you hear it click on when the water starts to run again. Give it a tap gently and it may start. The pipe fittings to the switch might be plugged or it might be the switch itself.
If the foot valve went, the pump would be cycling on and off a lot when no fauctes are running(if the presure switch is not buggered). Last spring I put in an inline anti-back flow valve because the foot valve jamed open. Then I replaced the pressure switch. A week later the motor gave up. I pulled 100' of 2" steal pipe out and then it slipped (the installers put no rope on the pump) I snagged the electrical wires and fished it up on a snatch block, with 5 guys we pulled the remaining 100' of pipe out, pump was squashed from drop. Went to Home Depot at 6pm. Bought a new pump with starter, 200' plastic pipe drop new wire and other assorted goodies. By 1:30 am we had water again. Not a good day. Did I mention I had a six month old and a wife used to being on city water. Good luck, hopefully you don't need to pull the pump in the winter. Grant

And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
