    John Deere M timing question

    Thanks, I was thinking rings too, unfortunately. The oil pressure gauge does show abnormally high pressure. I have installed a new one since the old one didn't work at all and thought it must be the wrong gauge since it was showing over 200 lbs.

    John Deere M timing question

    I'm not sure if I've posted this or not, it's been a long time since I posted. We re-wired the entire electrical system, stayed 6v. Down to new switch and wires to the headlights (still can't get those to work!) but rebuilt the starter. Got her running and cut our 2 acer pasture twice. Thanks to...

    Couldn't check didn't have help but it's the same rated battery that came out of it ( same numbers, I can't think of what they are right now L-10-??) so new battery should have same cranking amps.

    Okay, worked on my 1947 JD M for more than a couple hours today. As was suggested installed 1/0 wireing to starter and grounded to iron (0 resistance from battery to ground) new clamps on battery and sanded battery posts. Disconnected battery side of cut-out. Still won't start and seems to...

    Didn't get the chance to work on the girl, had to go help our daughter for a while, then Easter, then all of passed the noravirus to each other, in the intrem I've decided to rewire the whole harness. I'm going to go with 12 gauge wire. Any thoughts?

    John Deere M timing question

    Working on the girl tomorrow, someone on this thread said to disconnect the cut-out, got the battery charged, new battery cables, new terminals. Grounding to the starter mount. Fingers crossed 🤞.

    John Deere M timing question

    Thanks for the picture! I see your battery is grounded to the same spot as mine. I've ordered new 1/0 cables and new battery clamps going to try grounding to the starter mount. Hope that and checking the fuse will resolve starting problems. Is that a cut out or a regulator? Grass is getting...

    John Deere M timing question

    Do you mean to disconnect one wire from the cut-out or disconnect it completely? New battery, new cables, grounded the the sheet metal by the battery box. Thanks for chiming in! All help is appreciated!

    John Deere M timing question

    Sorry to be such a dummy but 1) you can open and sand (file) points in the cut-out like a distributor? 2) when swiping the A terminal what is the other end of the jumper attached to? 3) No electric anymore could I have blown a fuse in my first attempt at jumping F to A? Sorry, but I am learning...
