Hi all, Spent the weekend getting a 1950 C up and running again -- had to drill in some helicoils in the carburator body, make a new fuel line, and troubleshoot the 12-volt conversion. Couldn't have been a better way to spend a couple of days ;-). I've got two questions, though, that I'm hoping someone out there could help me with... First, I ran a compression test on the cyclinders and found pressures of 95, 95, 75, and 80. The 75 and 80 will come up to 90 or 95 if I put some oil in the cyclinders, so I think I've got those pegged as ring issues. I haven't got my tech manual yet, though, so I'm not sure if the 95 readings are satisfactory. Does anyone know what compression rate I should expect on the 113 engine? Second, I'm worried about the hydraulics. The levers themselves were really rusty...removed the linkages and I almost had to put a wrench on them to move them back and forth. Still, I got the levers loosed up, I greased the movement arms (not sure what to call those things), and I replaced the hydraulic fluid. When I engage the levers, I hear a nasty, high-pitched squeal...in either direction. It sounds like the system is laboring...the governor will jump up the idle when I'm doing this, so something is taxing the system. When I had the linkages off of the levers, I tried moving the rods they attached to (under the hydraulic reservoir), and they moved easily enough by hand. So I don't think they're frozen. My guess is that either the movement arms are tight, or the pump isn't operating efficiently. In any case, has anyone run into a similar situation before? If I were to start tearing down a part of the system, where do you think I should start? Many thanks, - David

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
