After being completely tractorless all summer I now have a running useable Ferguson again.
Last spring for the tractor ride, I could not get the starter to turn over. (rotor grounded out against the stud.) TE starters are few and far between.
Finally got one three weeks ago. Now the engine turned but it would not fire.
Dist cap center coil connector had erroded to the point is was actually below the surrounding bakelite. Just shows how tought these little tractors are.
We I ordered a new cap from YTmag on Tues. it came on Thurs. put it on and still nothing. No Spark.
Took the dustcover off the dist. and the points were a little dark and corroded. So after a quick test showed no spark. I pulled them off redressed the points. I then reassembled and set the gap. Sure enough I got a big fat blue-White spark across the points.
Reassembled the dist. On a weak 6V bat. she fired right up and purring away again.
Now to fix the -65. Last Oct (2011) at a plow day I split a power adjust rim over 30". (calcium coorosion) Got a new set of rims on the way to the Expo. Last weekend I got the new rim all cleaned up and primed. Now I need to color coat and remount the tire. Tonight after getting the TE running I took an hour and freed up all the -65"s power adjust wheel locks. So for being with out any machenery working for since april, I may be fully back in business again. Horray!!!
Thanks for putting up with this post. The wife does not understand.
Jeff

At least she didn't offer up remedies for the distributor fix like "have you checked if it's got gas?"

Well Jeff after all of the practice of putting the 20 together at the show I had doubt that you would get them all together. It feels good to accomplish something and actually have it work. I am currently working on three of them fingers crossed

I am afraid to admit how many time I"ve cranked away with the starter only to realize I forgot to turn on the gas, pull the choke, set the throttle or turn on the iginition key.
