Hi All,
My father inlaw has a m6030.
It is a low hour tractor and has been running great. Yesterday he was blowing snow and it stumbled then shut down.
It was about -15 degrees at the time and I would think it is probably a fuel line or filter frozen. The problem I have is I cannot find any information on this model for fuel system maintenance and bleeding after.
Is anyone familiar with this tractor?
I don't know anything about your tractor specifics however I will make some applicable general comments.
Most rundowns are result of restricted fuel delivery. If the ambient temperature, is below freezing (and you say it is) the restriction can be caused by water freezing in the fuel filter and/or water seperator. If you have summer fuel then it's also possible to have the wax start to precipitate out of the fuel and that can clog the fuel filter, the fuel lines and the water seperator as well as clog the fuel tank outlet.
Try to drain the fuel filter and the water seperator and if nothing comes out, get a hair dryer or a heat gun on the filter and seperator and see if you get water out of the filter. If you do, let it run out until you see fuel then close the drain. Heat up the line from the tank to the filter and the tank outlet if possible.
Your owner's manual should have bleeding instructions so look there.
If you don't get water after heating the filter, It may be wax or as it is commonly referred to as "jelling". Power Service makes a product call 911 for jelled filters. You can try that.
Since you were blowing snow, check the air filter inlet for snow. This can block the intake and shut you down also.
Let us know what you find out.
