    Rusted through between the mounting bolts. Wanting to cut out and install a patch. Anyone done this before? Thanks

    Magneto rebuild questions

    Many thanks to all, particularly Kirk. I think I"m on the right track now. Also received a helpful email from Gene Bender. Going out to look for the clipped gear and marks on the plastic.

    Magneto rebuild questions

    A wallowed out rotor notch on distributor (mag.) drive gear forced magneto rebuild. Received the kit today and started the rebuild. Unfortunately, the kit didn"t come with any instructions. I have two separate issues. 1. The metal bar stock that goes through the magneto coil, by which it is...

    B still won't start

    Still baffled. Farmall B starts for a second, and quits, as if fuel or spark quits. Gas supply is good at carb, and the carb has been cleaned. Magneto has a good impulse click. I tried Pull starting, without results. The result was the same. Only an initial start as with the crank. The firing...

    B still won't start

    JimN, Thanks, think I"ll try that next.

    B still won't start

    Dave, When she starts the starter (the crank), kicks out and won"t go until I re-engage it and crank again. As I said, it"s a perfect start, but "zip!" (maybe four revolutions of the crankshaft - seemingly firing nice and smooth), but that"s it. It"s as if the fuel is cut of, or the spark quits.

    B still won't start

    Thanks to all for the input. The gas can"t be too old. Not more than two or three months. And it does fire. I have a magneto ignition system, and strictly hand crank. She"s as easy to "start" as ever, but only runs for a second. It can never get close to warm (my crank arm gets too tired)...

    B still won't start

    I still haven"t got my Farmall B to start. That is, it "starts" but ignition isn"t sustained. Most of the time it"s as if all four cylinders fire once, and once only, and that"s it. Sometimes (but rarely) there is a slightly longer firing sputter. Changing the choke position doesn"t help. It...

    Starts and quits (Farmall B)

    Scotty, don"t worry about insulting my mechanical genius. I haven"t got any. I appreciate the assistance (I thank everybody who has posted on this). Yes, I replaced the drive as well as the camshaft timing gear and governor. The timing marks were evident on all but the new governor. I used the...

    Starts and quits (Farmall B)

    Just got Old Short Stack back together after replacing timing gears and governor. Amazingly, it starts, but only runs half a second or so and quits. (Sounds good for those few turns.) So it"s getting a spark, and gas into the carb., but seems to only burn what"s in the carb (after choking and...

    Thanks. Done. I found the job wasn"t as formidable as I"d feared.

    Farmall B. Driving timing gears on cam and dr...

    Has anybody successfully driven timing gears on camshaft and drive shaft without removing the shafts from the tractor? It has been suggested that maybe heating the gear in an oven to about 200 + degrees might make it possible. Has anybody done it and survived? How about pressing the gears on...

    New governor assembly for Farmall B

    Thanks to everybody for the pointers. My tractor uses a mag. I"ve got the timing cover off so I can line up the timing marks. I"ve re-checked the new governor assembly for any suggestion of timing marks. There are none, and none on the backside either. I put the old gov. gear back in place with...
