1942 farmall tractor stalls after 10 - 15 minutes of bushhogging
My tractor, H model, farmall tractor is hard to start. Engine turns, but I have
to try several times to get it started. When I get it finally running, it runs about 10 to 15 minutes and stalls as if it is not getting enough fuel. It stalls during bushhogging task or even sit still without doing any work. I cleaned carburator, changed fuel filter. Any suggestions please. I think it has a lot to do with temperature of the machine.

I think you still have a fuel issue like your float level is to low,I hope this helps you
Hello, W/D here.
It might have to do with your temp or it could be a fuel issue. I had a model "B" (1947) and it sometimes pulled a slight vacuum on the tank, starving it for fuel, and it took about that long. If you have the glass sediment bowel on yours, you should be able to see evidence of this if it is happening, or if you have a vent in your filler cap, it might be plugged. I don't know how a model H tank is vented, but I'm sure that you do.
As to it being temp related; it could be. You can remove and test your thermostat by immersing it in hot boiling water and seeing if it opens. It probably has it's temperature rating printed on the thermostat. If you believe that this is the issue, a lower opening thermostat can be installed to see if this corrects the problem
Good luck, and best regards, --W/D--
