    Hard starting TO 30 in cold weather

    I did do that when starting. I think the original problem was the weak battery. Now that i have a new batttery the points or condenser are bad and it wont start at all. It definately turns over a lot better with the new battery than it ever did before.

    Hard starting TO 30 in cold weather

    I just went out to try the tractor and it would not start. I decided to check the spark again and i had spark at the coil wire and not at the plugs. I am assuming that the points or condenser are bad after removing the distributor cap and not having spark at the points. I am thinking that...

    Blocked cracked by starter, any way to fix?

    It could have cracked from the first time the starter cone blew up inside the housing. I removed the chunks that were loose inside the first time. I figure after all the new parts i have put into the tractor i might as well fix it. The tractor runs great and the hydraulics are strong. I found...

    Blocked cracked by starter, any way to fix?

    What size bolt will be sufficient for the bridge and how deep? What should i do about the lower hole that is split, should i try and close it up or should i leave it alone? Im not sure that the lower bolt will secure the starter if left as is.
