    Should I buy it?

    OK yes, that's why I'm asking and took pictures of the major components. Seems to me like the tracks are good and if the hydraulics work and don't leak it would last a while. Are there specifics I can examine before making the decision? What usually breaks and costs a lot of money or can't be...

    Should I buy it?

    Thanks for the info. Do you know more about "very hard to find parts for"? Does that mean they can be found? And new or you have to find a donor/used? Also, Can the fuel system be replaced with something else modified to fit? I am a good mechanic and can modify things. Seems like you just...

    Should I buy it?

    Not what I pay him, but I think if it runs and doesn't smoke, and all the levers do what they should, and I clean up the rust and paint it and anything else it needs, it will be worth 6-8k in my estimation, but I could be wrong.

    Should I buy it?

    No, did you see what I wrote above, it's not running and I told him to get it running.

    Should I buy it?

    Ha! First thing I thought of was that I get to buy a nice new seat with a nice back on it.

    Should I buy it?

    Hi, I looked at this yesterday. I need something for a few months to level my sloped yard and create tiers. The yard is mostly shale and not much dirt. The dozer has sat for two years. being told by trusted person that it worked fine before that. Hydraulic fluid on dipstick looked clean new...

    How do I upgrade to electronic ignition? 1959 Farmall 140

    Right, I don't think the ignitor plate can go in wrong. I asked Junior that and he said, no, it only went in one way. And I also had instructed him to do one plug wire at a time, and then I asked him later if that's what he did and he said yes. I'm not understanding what you mean by the...

    How do I upgrade to electronic ignition? 1959 Farmall 140

    I think I heard of them from the antique tractor forum, and also from the youtube video I posted earlier where the guy upgraded his 140.. I think he bought from them. And I've called them before and always got helpful people. I've never tried calling yesterday's tractor and wanted to try them...

    How do I upgrade to electronic ignition? 1959 Farmall 140

    Documenting what I am ordering. I called Pertronix and gave them my distributor number from the side of the distributor which is #353898R1. That is apparently the original. And the tractor is 12V negative ground. They gave me this kit and coil to order...

    How do I upgrade to electronic ignition? 1959 Farmall 140

    Thank you for all of the input! For those who asked why I'm doing it here are the reasons: 1. All of my parts look original and beat. Wires, coil, distributer cap and rotor. 2. No points maintenance. And I hear it is hard to get good points. 3. The video above where the guy confirms...

    How do I upgrade to electronic ignition? 1959 Farmall 140

    Hi, I've got a 1959 Farmall 140 and I want to upgrade to electronic ignition. It currently has a 12V battery in good condition, what looks like the original coil and points system, old wires and Champion D21 plugs. The coil and distributor are horizontal. The plug wires are straight. I want...
