    Try replacing the coil. When they get hot, it will cut out the spark. They will run when cold , but cut out hot. Let it cool and it will run again. Try working it and see if it happens again.

    MT W/ M-20 mower

    A friend just bought a MT with an M-20 mower. Does anyone have any pictures to show how this was mounted? Mid/ rear mount? I only grew up with the Waterloo Tractors and #5 mowers. This is a different beast. Any photos or parts pictures would help. Thanks---

    John Deere Pedal Tractor 520

    The 520 I was refering to was right under the ERTL name. It does not resemble a real Model 520 tractor. Is there any listing for value? Thanks

    46 A compression

    I looked at a 46 "A" with average paint, new 12.4x38 Titans, rebuilt mag, gears seem o.k. clutch also. Compression 70 psi both cylinders. Is this low? I thought it should be closer to 100. Any one have an answer, I would appreciate it. Guy is asking $2600, good or bad? Thanks

    51 B: compression test

    Thanks for all the comments. I can see logic in each. Guess I will have to see if anyone marked the side of the block if it was bored.

    51 B: compression test

    Would cranking the engine with a 12 volt battery cause the compression test to read higher than with a 6 volt ? Owner claims 110 & 120 compression, but used the 12 volt. If so, any ideas how far off this would make it read? Thanks----

    Tires Rims

    I was looking at a J.D. 51 "A" that has a set of 15 in. Firestones F&Rs on widened rims. Tires are like new, and the rims are also. Can anyone give me a "ballpark" price of what they are worth? The Tractor also looks and runs good. Thanks for any info---Joe

    Correct Paint for 48 JD B

    Semi-gloss is what all the restoration books and Green Magazine says. Flat on the axle shafts. Or, clean and sand, then a clear coating. As the above note says, do what you like.

    John Deere A not moving

    Check you transmission first, if your sure its not frozen as some suggest. The older hi-lo shifters would lock up between gears if the sliding gears are worn. My 45 "B" did this until I replaced the sliding shaft and gears, just caused by years of wear. Only my opinion. Sometimes with a lot...
