What a beautiful tractor.....

 

[hojon]

Nice ... Looks like you did a great job on this one.

Hope we all were able to help solve some of your issues.

Always remember that a problem well described is a problem half solved.

Thank you John and yes they are twins! The tires are 12-4-36...
I apologize to the former gent for calling him John too. You have a beautiful tractor there and I know how much time and effort you have in it.
Best,
Michael

That I do not know.... I like the look of the dish, but I like the spoked also. From the info I gathered from the previous owner of this B and research on the web...These are the original rims.
Thanks,
Michael

I noticed that the magneto cap is for a XH909 mag,which was for a John Deere LA tractor. That mag originally turned Cw,instead of Ccw and was a gear drive,instead of lug drive.Did you ever change mags to see if that helped it run better. I wonder why some parts of that mag were changed and not all. Nice tractor, good luck with getting it to run right.

 

[John T]

I still like your tires better LETS TRADE LOL

[John T]

Many B's had those front flat steel dish, when I had mine approved for Expo they warned I must NOT change over to front spokes

[wilamayb]

I noticed that too. I have never seen the cap on the inside of the LA mag. I wonder if the caps will simply interchange to fit on the XH Waterloo mag?

 

[34gpa]

It will fit,but the distributor rotor wont be right,the terminals are much farther apart.Dont know how it could be right when it fires,that why I asked if maybe it was causing his problems.Like to see what dis.rotor is in there and/or what they put in for the magnetic rotor

 

[michael solan]

That is good to hear.... And thanks,
Michael

 

[michael solan]

Hi Guys and thanks for the response...
I had this mag rebuilt by a gent with 45 years experience...He tested it in shop and it fires great. He did not mention the cap to me. But, I will look into it. I did try a very good Wico C mag from a great running 35B and it seemed to run a little better initially, but then same...
I will look into this...
Thanks again,
Michael
