[AT] Ford 4000 Quitting Afer Running a While

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

If gas is free and you have all the time in the world then dissect every 
darn strand of copper wire on the thing! You are completely missing the 
point, the tractor is not as HIS shop and he doesn't run a mobile repair 
service, He's the one taking charge of the repair with no help form others 
that benefit from the machine. A complete tune-up certainly won't hurt 
things since only God has a clue when maintenance was last performed on this 
machine. You sir are being quite arrogant with some of your posts given the 
company you are with. Glad to know your fleet is so perfectly maintained.

The traditional garage money-making way?
Then you're still left not knowing which fixed the problem...
To me, it sounds like the coil, coils can simulate a fuel problem then
when cool work again; points are either good or bad; condensers are the
most maligned component in a coil setup, but minimal labour to fit with
points:- get replaced due to belts & braces (suspenders?) approaches.
