    Hate to put it back to work

    <Finally finished my rebuild and painting of my 400 last week. I had it in the shop for a good year and a half. Not perfect but good enough for me.

    Where is my electrical short?

    Problem solved. Thanks all for your input. My bad for using the wrong term short instead of arc. I did use my test light but found I didn't have any dead spots. I tried a different battery to ground cable and everything worked as it should. My old cable was a large #2 gauge wire and it...

    Where is my electrical short?

    I think testing the system from the battery out is a good suggestion. I will give it a try. I know it is definitely not associate with the saddle switch since had two different switches, one being brand new. One question I might have is why would my tractor start and lights still work if I...

    oily ignition points

    I am not familiar with a 184, but if it has a hydraulic pump ahead of the distributor driven off of the timing gear, then it is probably a leaking seal on the hydraulic pump. Probably the shaft is worn and you will need more than just a seal, like a rebuilt pump.

    cutditioner

    It was possible to get newones when i checked 5 years ago but they were over 300 bucks at the time. since i only paid 600 for the machine didnt think it was worth it. I sharpened mine on the machine with an angle grinder, worked ok, but it was a pain. Also make sure you have enough HP...
