    Another I need help post !!

    None since Saturday. At least it runs now, it just won't stay running. I am going to check the float level and see if it is right. It runs on half choke, at high rpms and won't idle down and stay running. I'll take it though, cause like I said, at least it will run now. I talked to a...

    Hey Nash, That's a great sounding tractor. Is that you in the video ? If that's yours, congratulations !! You probably went thru some of the same steps that we went thru yesterday, in order to get her to run. Mine ain't far from sounding like that. A few more tweaks and I should be there...

    Oh no ! Mine fired today and won't come off high idle. Damn flywheel started sliding off the crankshaft. Had to slide it back into place and re-align the oil seal ring. You "D" guys know what I'm talking about. This thing had a slipping rotor button, that was throwing timing way out of whack...

    How would this wrench be used?

    I did mis-state the year it was built. it actually was built in 1893 and not 1883.

    It is a very interesting place. It is also a historical place and hopefully, it will be around for another 100 plus years !

    How would this wrench be used?

    Yes it is noisy, but those earplugs block out most of the noise. Can't tell you off hand the decibel level, but you have to yell at each other to communicate in there. For someone who appreciates old antique type stuff, its a cool place to work. It was established in 1883, so just a couple of...

    ttps://forumphotos.yesterdaystractors.com/photos/mvphoto72614.jpg[/img] Sorry, Tried to post a picture of how we carry around these wrenches, but I guess I don't have picture posting privilege's as it won't let me download pictures. Anyway, we lug them around on our shoulders. They are...

    Thanks for all the info Bob. I have set the timing on a JD D more times than I care to !! I just wish one of the times would have been right. Maybe its time to tear it apart and start from scratch !! Or scrap it out !!! (just kidding)

    Another I need help post !!

    Hi Bob, Isn't at TDC when the #1 piston should fire ? Are you saying that the mag should fire right at or during compression ? I have the reprint service manual for the John Deere D. On page #13 in that manual, it states to :"turn engine in direction it runs, to end of compression stroke on...
