[Farmall] Farmall H Quits

[David Bruce]

Something else to consider - I had this happen on a JD diesel.  Check 
the fuel tank closely, I had a "ball" of gum just big enough to plug the 
tank outlet.  Tractor would run until it was fuel starved then quit.
Tank was clean except for the "ball" of gunk - probably more of a chance 
with diesel but you never know.
