Let me say that I embarrased myself by noy checking things out further before I posted earlier today. Went back out to the pasture where the Red Beast waited for me. Cranked her up and mowed for about 10 minutes before it started losing power. I had brought my tools with me this time. Pulled the hood off and started pulling plug wires one at the time. #1 made no difference in the way it ran. Must be my problem. #2 killed it dead as a hammer. Hmmmm. #3and4 made no difference.

I pulled all the plugs. #3and 4 were wet with gas and black, #1and2 looked fine. This poor tractor had been running on two cylinders all along, sometimes dropping out to one. No wonder I didn't have any power!! Cleaned the corroded contacts in the dist. cap. It's like a whole new machine! I mowed three more acres of waist high fescue this afternoon and it never hesitated once. I feel like such an idiot. Live and learn, I guess. Going out for some new parts tomorrow. Sorry to be so much trouble.
