Mahindra 4025

[reb79]

I have a 2013 Mahindra Model 4025 2WD tractor. Almost without failure....if I run the tractor for say 45 minutes to an hour......it starts losing power....(starving for fuel....seems the same)....Gradually getting worse & worse. To the point it's smoking a little & barely moving along & trying to throttle up is pointless....won't do it. I shut it off, open the bleed screw on the fuel filter.....& start manually pumping up & down on the primer button. Initially....no fuel, just air. Gradually....fuel starts to come out. I keep doing this until good fuel flow. Put all back together, start the tractor & I'm good for another hour or so.

So....anone with any ideas on why I need to continually repeat this. There only 180 hours on the tractor.

You may not have a lot of hours on the tractor but you have a few years. If you have a vented fuel tank cap the vent may be plugged. You may also have crud inside the tank at the outlet location. It sounds like you're on the right track.
