[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 4921, member: 307"] The load is nothing, you could jamb the grapple full of them and run away with it. Change you fuel filter, it may have water contamination or just be duo to be changed. Especially if it was last used in warm weather and it appears to be freezing where you are now. If that don't cure it call the dealer and tell them it keeps losing power, stalling and it won't restart. Its hard to say what the trouble is it, could be minor, likely is. however it could be a sign of needing a new injection pump to and that won't be cheap. If it started ok cold, the engine itself is likely not in need of anthing serious. it sounds like a fuel problem. So start with the filter(s) fuel level etc. If that don't cure it look for leaking or worn fuel lines. After that its “fuel lift pump”, does it have a hand primer? will it start if you manually operate that, The test for air leaks into the fuel system is to remove return line to the tank and submerge the end in fuel, run engine and look for bubbles coming out of the line, there should be none. (sign of leak on to engine side of fuel system) then its injection pump, at which point I would definitely be talking to the seller Ken [/QUOTE]
