Hello to all!
New reader here, and a recent convert/victim
to the restoration/collecting game! :-)
I recently came into possession of an "H" and
a "Super C" after my grandfather died. I don't
have a clue as to what I'm really looking at to
begin with. Both were used fairly regularly,
though dwindling off rapidly in the past 10-15
years as he became less able to get around and
for the past few years haven't done anything more
than sit in the shed and gather dust.
I have no idea how old they really area, so
for starters, where do I look to find the SN#'s?
Once I find these, I know that I can figure out
their age.
Is there a reference that I can get hold of
that might be able to tell me if they are worth
restoring? I know that both ran when he last used
them, so I know there wasn't anything obvious
wrong with them. Not being around all the time, I
cannot vouch for what kind or how often
maintenance was done. Oil, lube, etc. I know that
the one has an electric short somewhere in the
alternator/generator, as it won't keep a charge if
left sit for a while. As long as you run it
regualarly, it keeps a charge fine, so I know it's
charging, but give it several days, and you'll
have to put it on the charger.
I think the tires are original on both, so I'm
cringing at the thought of how much that'll cost.
I don't know if I want to go to full restoration,
or what, but after finding this list, I'm
intrigued! :-) Hope to hear from someone soon! Jerry

Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
