    John Deere 2020 3 point lift capacity

    That's pretty much what I figured... Thanks so much for the info... my local dealer doesn't even have that data, they say that the tractor is too old, they can't go back that far. This old tractor is bulletproof (knock on wood), it has sat in a field with no cover, for the last 5 years, and...

    John Deere 2020 3 point lift capacity

    Hello, Can someone verify the lift capacity for a John Deere 2020 tractor made in 1968. I got the following from a website...... """In 1967, the very first John Deere 2020 Tractors went out. They were produced until 1972. .... The type II 3-point hitch is very reliable, capable to lift 4498...

    Can anyone ID this old seed drill

    Heck, if parts aren't available it's prob not worth $100, at least to me. Kinda looks like a JD to me just from looking at the pics, except for those wheels, maybe the not the original? But I'm furthest possible from an expert.

    Can anyone ID this old seed drill

    They want $1000 for. I don't think it's worth anywhere near that, even if I can get parts for it. They say they were told everything works, which makes me believe that they have never used it. What is the consensus?

    8n with weak spark

    Well the bindex on the starter has completely disappeared. Turning the flywheel with a screwdriver seems difficult and there is a squeak coming from inside the motor when its turned. It appears that a bearing inside the motor is starting to seize and I believe that the added resistance has...

    8n with weak spark

    Well, today we decided to try to crank it after adjusting the points again. It just seems to struggle to turn over the motor, but it seems like it wants to start , but just can't, almost like it has too much compression or something. After it almost fires, the starter spins for a few seconds...

    8n with weak spark

    We did gap the points first, before we checked the voltage. I'm just wondering if I measured correctly( placement of leads) is why I worded it that way, we did it separate from jumping the coil. So, we will measure both with the jumper and without. after gaping. I'll follow these step by...

    8n with weak spark

    Ok here is more info. I have run a wire from battery to the coil (no resister between key switch and coil),and measured what I think you are talking about on the points. One lead on the open point and one on the tractor frame results in 12.6 volts. Tractor still will not start. Also, a...

    8n with weak spark

    ok, will work on all of above. If the normal place for the resistor is between the coil and the distributor , then no it doesn't have one... also, can you explain further "running a wire directly to the coil" thanks

    8n with weak spark

    sorry I have been out of town. I spoke to a friend who used to work on tractors and he said it was most likely the coil. I bought a new one (12 volt, no resistors). I also rewired the key switch because it was looking bad. The tractor still will not start, it just doesn't seem to be turning...
