    going to look at a model 50, tell me about them!

    I'm restoring the family 50 right now. Being used as utility tractor. My estimated total rebuild (new tires, radiator, ignition, carb rebuild, gen rebuild, starter rebuild, clutch discs....) will end up being about $3000...but that is to fully restore. So I'd keep that in mind also

    JD A Problem

    I just had the same thing...checked gas...float...rebuild carb....finally replace the "brand new" condenser with an old one I had and she is running smooth now....I'd start there; easy to test.

    Model 60 flywheel gear/starter grinding

    OH...I check my photo archives and I installed the new one the way the old one was....which answers why my father-in-law (it was his tractor) always had issues with grinding

    Model 60 flywheel gear/starter grinding

    Randy---excellent point. I'l have to double check that. It seems to start spinning when about half extended. I've put the flywheel back on so will have to wait for the front tires to come back so i can move under the block and tackle area again. I'll let you know. Thx

    Model 60 flywheel gear/starter grinding

    Dan--new parts not cleaned....not professional, I rebuilt it. Your thought on weak cable is spot on....had to redo the cable too. Starter runs great now but bendix is not always fully engaged so it grinds.

    Model 60 flywheel gear/starter grinding

    Question for the experts here. I am slowly restoring a Model 60 and the starter bendix was totally worn (concave even.) I've been told that it been grinding for years...then the starter stopped so I've done the following: - Starter rebuilt: bendix, terminal button, switch, brushes, bushing...
