I never meant to start a riot with my second posting I only meant to say that I only wanted to know what something like that will bring. Don't think I am an dumb and throwing away money as I shop around as much as possible. It may be a bad thing to say that I dont know where the carburetor is as I do and I just figured it would be better done professionally rather than me doing something half way after watching $85 worth or robert's carburetor videos. The mag on the tractor could not be salvaged as it was cracked and rusted to pieces on the inside. On disassembly nearly every screw broke off so a used one had to be purchased.

You're doing the best you can, and that says a lot right there. If the magneto was in that bad of shape, then another unit was probably definitely the way to go. Two-cylinder carbs are relatively simple, but there are tricks to them just like anything else, and if they're completely full of junk, they need to be stripped down and all the passages cleaned out with properly-sized drill bits, etc. If one comes in the shop in decent condition, it's not a big deal to clean it up and re-kit it, and I've done a few that way in addition to a couple of my own. But if a customer brings in a complete basket-case, we're sure not going to bend him over for the parts and 3 or 4 hours of labor ($180-$240 right there) to get it back in shape when we can ship it to Robert's and have it back in less than a week in like-new condition and having been test-ran. Dealerships have a leg up when doing business with him, as he realizes there could be a tractor taking up space in a revenue-producing shop while he's got the carb. If you haven't already, do yourself a failure and spend a little money on the proper service, operator's and parts manuals for your tractor. The parts books alone go a long way toward explaining how various things work, as you can see the pieces in relation to each other, and parts guys really like being able to punch in a number rather than try to guess what you're after. Good luck with the "B", and don't hesitate to ask questions.

What the Heck is going on here ? How do you ever think I insulted you ? I just used that phrase as an example and also stated that I at one time did not know what or where one was.

Did you guys come out of the womb knowing everything ????? ????? ????? ????? ????? ?????

And on the credit side your young,care about tractors,your wanting to fix this one because it has some history,and $150 for a rebuilt mag. because yours was junk sounds good too ! Now go pat yourself on the back for what you have done ! Then get back to work on that tractor fix it right,don't cut quality,cut costs ! And in the end don't worry about what it's worth in dollars and cents. It's value is far greater than that !!

Kind of odd that more than one person seems to think you were giving him a hard time, isn't it? When does the "teaching" begin???
