    eletronic ignition/ info needed

    I installed a Pertronix on a Ferguson 35 and it worked fine until.... After a heavy snowfall, I started the tractor to let it warm before moving some snow. I let it run while I did some other chores. After one half hour or so I noticed the tractor was no longer running. I thought maybe iceing as...

    6 volt Battery Tender with 8 volt battery

    Each cell of a lead/acid battery should produce 1.1 to 1.2 volts. If an 8 volt battery only produces 8 volts or slightly less it is considered discharged. You cannot maintain an 8 volt battery at 6 volts, therefore, you need an 8 volt charger, minimum. Jim

    Farmall A Rim Color

    I did some research in the past regarding rim color and paint for a Farmall H and I found the original rims were plated with cadmium, a common plating material for corrosion prevention in those days. Don't think that would be possible now a days.

    AC-B plow

    I have a "C" model that was rigged up for the same setup. The B should be able to handle a 16" plow. The two plows are used to throw the furrow in one direction (usually uphill) to counter the natural action of soil to move downhill. The tractor should have a split rockshaft, two hydraulic...

    Farmall 560D batteries

    The 60 series wiring shows two six volt batteries wired in series to produce twelve volts. This same scheme was used in the John Deere 50, 60, and 70 tractors using rather large batteries. The JD's could accomodate a large (1200 CCA) 12V battery in the battery compartment (under the seat...

    Help identify this A-C 2-14 trip plow

    I have the same model on steel. Bought it from an Allis dealer in Southern Maryland. You will notice in the photo it has a long landside which should bear against the furrow wall to provide lateral stability, (so I have been told).

    TO-35 Starting Issue

    The comment about using the opposite hand on the choke knob and the starter button sounds like someone has replaced the ignition switch and also swapped the position of the starter button and the ign. switch. My factory operator's manual show's the starter button on the left for both the 35...

    TO-35 Tuneup Question

    Re condensor, I had a JD 50 that suddenly failed to start just minutes after shutting down. Checked a bunch of stuff with no results. Final step was to change condensor, tractor started just like it always had.
