620 no power, bad air filter

I'm feeling a mixture of foolishness and relief today. I'm going to post my blunder in the hope that it solves someone elses problem in the future. About three years ago I was using the loader on my 620 to re-shape the pitchers mound at my sons school. Right when I finished the tractor started running bad. It acted like it was running on one cylinder and flooding. It had no power. I drove it home and parked it in the barn. I was upset because I had just done a bunch of work to it and the tiller and this was the last straw. There it has sat for three years. Well, I got the bug again to work on it this week becuase I want to put my garden in. I went through the usual issues...ignition, timing, points, etc. No luck. It turns out that the air filter was clogged.B) After doing the other things, the tractor runs great now. I never even thought about the filter because the engine lost power so quickly. Lesson learned.

That was cheap and you saved three years of wear.

As frustrating as that is. An easy fix is always nice. Start with the easy first.
