I have a 560 farmall diesel that has been on our farm since new (1963 I believe). We were still using this tractor most days in the busy season until last fall when it lost power. Sounded like clogged fuel filters so we put it away for the winter planning to replace them this spring. Replaced both filters and cleaned sediment bowl and screen this spring, and it didn't help. Lots of fuel flow through to pump so we sent the pump out to be rebuilt ($600....ouch). Installed pump, got it timed, still not running right. Checked air intake system, even removed air pipe at manifold with engine running, didn't help. The tractor will start and run rather rough for about 5 mins at full throttle, then slowly starts to lose power, sometimes will stall completely. I have removed the fuel line from the pump as soon as it stalled and there is lots of fuel there. Have also cracked each fuel line at injectors with engine running and could hear engine miss on every one. Sorry for the long post but I'm trying to give as much info as possible. If anyone has any ideas I'd sure be glad to hear them. Thanks
