"Noting on the other side" may be attributed to the points not making contact in the position the distributor is setting in. Take a simple test light touch the post on the post going to distributor and ground it out. With ignition switch on and in neutral turn the engine over with the starter...

wolc123, I thought of you Thursday, I went to my cousin's house to pick up a potato digger I agreed to buy from him. After visiting for a while with him and his brother they said come on, let's go for a ride, I had no idea where we were going, other than we were going to "Sam's" for a tour...

Not sure about others, but the seals on my Case Backhoe's swing cylinders are cupped and must face in the correct direction. Someone has been into it before I got it and had one of 2 sets in backwards. That and not having the bolt that holds the piston together and to the ram tight. Loosened...

First I'd make sure the starter has a good ground to chassis. Removing a mounting bolt and buff the starter mounting ear, run the bolt in and out several times and make sure the lock washer bites in good. Even though the ground cable looks good where it mounts, remove and clean that area too...

12.5 dozen tomatoes plants started of several varieties. Some peppers, and spaghetti squash in there too. Got a few peppers peeking out in 6 days. Got the garden rolled over today. Maybe not perfectly dry enough but it's done. Love this little hillside plow..!! Leaving the strip of Rye in...

Maybe consider using the peppermint extract spray. Nothing touches any plants here with it on. Only takes 2 TBS. per gallon of water. I add it to my pesticide sprays later to save time. Without rain it will last 2 weeks. Even after a rain enough scent left for a couple of days until I can get...

Even the discharge nozzle/emulsion tube whatever you prefer to call it..?? Those need to be removed to be cleaned. Check the cross drilled holes.

Cabbage after hours. Moved all to the green house except the red cabbage, none showing yet. If I remember correctly it took it a little longer last year to come up, so leaving it in the chamber and see what happens. Second pic is of the Brussels Sprouts @ 72 hrs., probably another 48 hours...

Another 8 hours and more Greenboy cabbage up, plus a few Copenhagen up. Can't see the largest one at left front, it showed on the phone screen, but didn't catch it. Will probably put them in the green house tomorrow evening so they don't get leggy.

A buddy of mine had the same thing happen last year reseeding itself. He was figuring on tilling it up and reseeding. I told him he better wait and see if anything comes up, he may not need to. He wanted to leave it fallow for a couple of years so as to keep weeds down, plus food for his Bee's...

Looky what was peeking back at me this morning when I checked the germ chamber. Put them in about 4:00 p.m. Tue. afternoon and checked it this morning around 9:00. 2nd. generation Greenboy Cabbge seed I saved last from Summer. Up in approx. 36 hrs. It will be interesting to see what they make...

I put 12 dozen cabbage seeds, 5 dozen pepper seeds, and 1 dozen Brussels Sprout seeds in the germination chamber yesterday. Pretty well on track for getting early items started and set date of around Memorial Day weekend. Not getting too excited as I was reminded of the old saying "When it...

I'm not sure it's worth the effort to put a temp gauge on, as the thermosyphon system is quite efficient, as long as the coolant is at the proper level. You'd have to work it very hard on a hot day to even worry about it. But if it makes you feel more comfortable, knock yourself out. I pulled...

There should be a tag riveted inside the seat support on the gear shift side with the serial number stamped on it. If it's there write it down then open this link :TractorData.com Farmall Super A tractor information and scroll down towards the bottom. There is a list of years and serial numbers.

I wouldn't be bit surprised if it comes with at least a light coat of industrial primer. I've seen a lot of gearboxes at work for heavy equipment, and on the farm come this way. And usually pretty clean on the outside as far as oil residue. But if it does come bare metal and a slight bit of...
