Farmall H Magneto problems???

Posted by John in Ct. on September 16, 2004 at 20:32:27 from (192.233.162.155):

My Farmall H won't run. The problem started with my removing the magneto drive to replace the gasket. I ended up loosing the timing marks on the Magneto drive. I was able (By LOTS of trial and error)to get the magneto drive to where I think it belongs. The magneto clicks before the #1 terminal on the distriburor cap when the #1 cylinder is at TDC and the pully is at the first mark.
My problem is that my Farmall H now won't run. We even put some gas in the cylinders, no luck so we think it must be spark. I dressed the points, replaced the cap and roter. I think it has a good spark then a weak spark, I am not sure if it is inside of the cap orin the magneto itself. It was hard for me to tell. It was necessary for me to trip the magneto a lot( Not hooked up, maybe 30 complete revolutions) so I could figure out timing it. Could I have messed it up? Also, the kill switch screw turned while hooking the wire back up, could this be the problem? Thanks!!

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac. ... [Read Article]
