OLD-- I hear what you are saying. Front mount distributors are not difficult at all but does
require patience and steady nerves. I've never
seen one I couldn't fix. If you would like further help, get in touch with me.

I started with the early flathead ford v8's.
Now those were ugly.

OLD, I have it all figured out. The tractor is hearing all the bad things you are saying about it, and its got its feelins hurt.
So you have to go to the tractor and apoligize and say you didnt mean it. Hit the starter and VOOOOOM it will start.
Two other things to remember is if you have a hammer in your hands you might want to put behind your back. The other thing is when you talk to the tractor, look around to make sure no one is watching. They might think it a little strange.

OK Old, If you gots gas an you gots spark and it still ain't runnin, then you don't gots compression, or else the timin is off, which ain't likely seein as how its a front mount. So check the compression. Oh, and squirt sum gas in the carb just in case yer jets are clogged!

Old, I know what the problem is. You started thinkng about how much you don't like the front mount engines, and forgot to clean the mouse nest out of the air cleaner. :-)
Seriously, I wish you well.

LOL! Ok, Dixon, let me see what I remember...

Old, be sure to use a box wrench, not a crescent wrench. And, um, make sure you are turning the bolts to the left to loosen them, not to the right. Lemme see here...Oh! I know! And be sure you use some good penetrant on there. I think hydraulic fluid is REAL good for that!!!

How'd I do? :-D
