Thanks for your thoughts. Sounds like my next step is to drain and check the fuel tank and blow out the lines. It's a bear on the IH-4X4 series! It has a saddle shaped tank behind the seat with cross over lines and limited access to feeder fuel lines.

When I first lost power I checked the fuel cap to see if it was pulling a vacuum. It was not the problem. The power/RPM loss first occured under load, but when I released the PTO the problem persisted, so it does not appear to be tied to the PTO load.

The throttle seems to be working; I do have good access to the throttle lines, not sure how to adjust the max no-load rpm. Why would it suddenly be this far out of adjustment?

Thanks for your thoughts. I did find a site for the Association of Equipment Manufacturers that did list tractors by horsepower: below 40hp, 40-100hp, and above 100hp. They present statistics for 2001, 2002 and projections for 2003. During 2002, the 39 manufacturers reporting claimed to have produced about 170,000 tractors, of which 95,000 were in the below 40hp category (about the size of a CUT, and subCUT/SCUT?). Many of the international manufacturers were not included in the pole. The site is at AEM dot org slash Trends slash IndusOut slash PDF slash soi-0207 dot pdf.

Based on the very informal inputs from this forum it looks like Kubota may have sold about 30,000 CUTs, Yanmar(Deere) 15,000 CUTs, Shibaura(NH) 15,000 CUTs, Daedong(Kioti) 12,000 CUTs, Mitsubishi(Case & Cub Cadet) 8,000 CUTs, Iseki & Hinomoto(MF) 7,000 CUTs, and Mahindra/Daedong(Mahindra) 5,000 CUTs, Long 5,000 CUT�s, and Belarus 3,000 CUTs, for a total of about 100,000 units. Then you toss in the Gray Market, the Chinese box tractors and other smaller importers, which may have sold 15-25,000 more CUTs & SCUTs. Whew!! Gives international tractors a whole new meaning!

Let�s keep looking for the real numbers. I just looked at the Deere 2002 annual report online, no unit numbers, just $ profit and loss.
