Job well done. I have alot of memories helping my dad with his Ferguson TO30.sometime in its life one of the previous owners bypassed using the shifter that starts it with a push button to engage the starter which cost my dad his life we think he was standing on the ground and pushed the button to start it not knowing it was in gear he was 78 at the time.this is a reminder to anyone with older parents or friends to keep these older tractors as safe as possible.

I had a Toyota Silica with a 20R OHC 4 cyl. and transistor driven mechanical point ignition. Periodically the thing would stop for no reason......once on the way to work one morning. Fix was to get a piece of paper, get out, access the points, and with them closed, drag the paper through them a few times. Put things back, get in, crank her up and be on my way.....maybe a 10 minute job. I assume this was base drive for a transistor and there wasn't enough current to burn through the corrosion on the point contacts.
