    FE-35 tractor age?

    I think my Ferguson tractor is the model FE-35. Its hard to see the plate as its worn pretty good, but I can see the serial number. Is there a way with that number to ID the model and exact date of manufacture? Serial number is DM115072

    B piston in spark plug hole

    I swapped them and it cranked so I must have turned the mag a turn and didn't realize it. I do feel dumb for that part but all the help about why I am seeing the piston is very appreciated. I have a camera coming tomorrow so I can get an answer.

    B piston in spark plug hole

    I may see if I can rent one of those cameras at the parts house, I could just sleep easier at night knowing the answer. Sleep even happier if I don't have to buy another head gasket.

    B piston in spark plug hole

    Tractor had been sitting for 10 years so I'm trying to get it running. Had it running but the governor wasn't working and it wanted to run to fast . I think I have that fixed but now the issue of it not cranking has started and it kind of acts like one valve isn't opening.

    B piston in spark plug hole

    That makes sense. Why do ya"ll think I"m getting such a bad backfire? Its like a shotgun going off. Think I need to look into valves?

    B piston in spark plug hole

    Its a 1948. It would run but while attempting to start it last night it backfired really loud and then never attempted to start again.

    B piston in spark plug hole

    I have been working on my B John Deere for a couple of weeks now mostly on carb and governor issues. Then it wouldn't crank last night and I noticed that one of the pistons covers nearly half of the spark plug hole. Doesn"t look good to me but not sure what or why? Any ideas are appreciated.

    Farmall H magneto

    Mine has the spring under it. What is the clearance supposed to be between cap and rotor? I'm beginning to think my spark is to weak but it looks good on my tester. I installed a new ignition kit but maybe the magnets are getting weak.

    Farmall H magneto

    I put a cap and rotor in it and the other cap I triend wasn't deep enough so the one I bought now matches the one that came off.

    I have new rotor and cap but you are the second person to tell me there are different caps. Whats the difference?

    Farmall H magneto

    I read the blue ribbon repair specs and still can"t get anything out of the towers on the cap. It seems so simple that I have fire coming out of magneto but can"t get it out of my plug wires correctly. The most I have gotten out so far is a weak spark and it didn"t continue and went to...

    Farmall H magneto

    I tried that as well but still nothing out of the plug wires. I am getting spark out of the top of magneto but how can I tell if it is strong enough to jump to the towers?
