The reduced power problem has continued. Yesterday and today, I could barely get the work done. I finally gave up and went to see Preston. While we were looking around, I pulled the distributor cap off and he saw that the points weren't opening up. He said he didn't see how it would even run like that. He opened them with a screw driver and immediately the little tractor could start easily and pulled the little bush hog with ease. I got the Chestnut Orchard finished and mowed the field above the pond.
I did some mowing with the finish mower but I think the belts are near breakage and began to slip a little. I'll need to check the tightness before using them again.
