    50 B Pulley is seizing to the crank when installing (tightening) the clutch driver.

    B brake latch issue

    I bent the end of a long screw driver into a hook or L. I still need to bend over some, but it works great for me, especially with bulky winter clothing. I fashioned a holder out of a short piece of abs slipped over the power trol leaver.

    Wico XH 1042 Magneto Magnet Rotor Rub

    I've been working on the family 1950 JD B with Wico XH 1042 Magneto for 5 years. It had sat out in the elements, neglected for the previous 16 years. In the past year I had the block bored and installed .045 over aluminum pistons. I've bored out and cleaned (with proper aviation bits) all of...
