[AJD] Fuel Starving G

[Tyler Juranek]

Randy,
 I agree with Jim. Although I never had this happen on my JD a,
Something like that happened on my Oliver 88. One time I was pulling a
hayrack uphill and it died. No starvation, just died. Anyway, it ran
fine on the flat road. I got it into the shed, I pulled open the side
shield, and the sediment bowl looked clear.
 Pulled it all apart, and right at the bottom of the bowl, was a bunch
of rusty particles. Blew it out with air, and put it back together.
Tractor ran fine after that.
 Good luck, and please keep us updated!
