    Timing Farmall F12

    I have a Farmall F12 with an F4 magneto that wants to run rough. It also blows flame out of the exhaust. It seems to me that it is probably running too far retarded. Just to double verify, I have two "holes" on my flywheel housing. One is on the operator's left right below the frame rail and...

    Case L Magneto Parts Needed

    If you would look, I would greatly appreciate it. You'd better not speak too loud about NOS Case mag parts, your door may not be secure enough for all the people who will come knocking at it!! Ben W.

    Case L Magneto Parts Needed

    I am working on a Case L magneto, the big mag with the cast "saddle" coil cover with Old Abe stamped in the top. I am missing the points cover and clamp. Does anyone have a salvage breaker points cover they would be willing to sell? Ben W

    My M Eats Condensers

    Thank you to everyone for their responses so far. I tried the tractor tonight. It will run 50% of the time on what sounds like one cylinder, one fire per minute. Sounds like a dying hit and miss engine. It is getting plenty of fuel. How could a condenser be burned out like this? Didn't...

    My M Eats Condensers

    James, thanks for the info. What helped the best on your tractors? I figured the last time that an auto parts store condenser and coil would be best, since antique car guys would raise all sorts of noise if the store sold junk. I'm considering an ignition switch, but I can't decide if...

    My M Eats Condensers

    I'm a little more than frustrated with my John Deere M. It will start and run great with a new condenser. It will run will for about an hour before it will shut off straight without any spark. It will not start back (even cold) until I put in a new condenser. It has started literally...

    M Shuts Off No Spark

    Thanks to everyone for their replies. I went out on a limb and threw a part at the distributor: the condenser seems to have been the issue. It ran for a good 30 minutes tonight without a problem. Ben W.

    M Shuts Off No Spark

    My 1948 M has decided to act up a bit. It was completely redone a few months ago. It hasn't seen much hard work since, although I have used it to drag another tractor or two around the yard. A few days ago it sat outside for an hour, not running, while I pulled another tractor out. When I...

    wanted great lakes chief garden tractors

    I had a Great Lakes Junior Chief, but it went back home to Ohio. Manuals are hard to find: attachments come in clumps, a pile at one place. Mr. Boothby might chime in, but a good person to contact is Lee Covell, he collects these creatures. If you want his contact information, email me...

    M Plow Mounting

    Assuming that #2 is interchangeable with #6, my brackets match #3, I do have it hooked up. Thanks Bill! Ben W.

    M Plow Mounting

    Considering that it couldn't be too hard, I decided to go ahead and try to mount my M1/M2 plow on my 48 M. My question is whether it is hooked up correctly or not under the tractor. Is that the way the beam should go? Thanks! Ben W.

    Super A Gives a Loud Bang Through Muffler, Won't Start

    Yes I did, forgot to mention that I have a loose rebuild H4 magneto that I have for sale that I plugged into the tractor. It gave the same result. Ben W.

    Super A Gives a Loud Bang Through Muffler, Won't Start

    Excuse the long post, but its all necessary to explain the problem! I'm stumped on my 1948 Super A. About a week ago, the Super A had been running for about 20 minutes. I had it pushing in a John Deere M (no comments, now) that I was rebuilding. I stopped to kick the block from under the...

    M Charging Issues

    Thank you John! I've always had your instructions printed off in my shop. I had worked through it before posting. The only thing I hadn't checked off your list was the motor test. Did that this afternoon: the generator motors good when the field is dead grounded, but does nothing when the...
