I was mowing my neighbors yard with my 882 last night. It ran good for about 45 minutes, then it started sputtering. I turned the mower deck off and it recovered. I mowed for about another minute, and it did it again, and stalled this time. It started back up, and I quickly headed for home. It made it about 1/4 mile home with no more issues, and I got the old reliable 126 to go finish. I don’t really know much about diesels, but my first guess would be the fuel pump. And no, it’s not out of fuel, it has a full tank. You could always hear the fuel pump when the key is on, but when I first went to start the tractor, I noticed it seemed quieter than normal, but didn’t think anything of it at the time. Now I’m thinking it’s getting weak. I ordered a $20 one off Amazon. Not sure if they are any good, but I’m going to try it before spending almost $200 for an oem one.

Other than the fuel pump, is there anything else I should be looking at? I do have two new fuel filters also that I’m going to put in. I know if you run these out of fuel you have to bleed the lines. Do you also have to do this any time the lines are disconnected? Like I said before, I don’t know much about diesels. This is the first and only one I ever had, and other than maintenance, I haven’t really had to do anything to it yet.
