Dad"s working on a weird problem with his Super M. One day it started running like crap, missing and sputtering. Turns out the rear seal on the live hydraulic pump was leaking, and the distributor was full of oil. Problem solved, right? Nope. He replaced the seal, then cleaned and dried out the (Prestolite) distributor. Tractor ran like a dream, until the next time he started it up: Ratta-tat-tat-chugga-chugga-pop-pop-pop! Convinced he couldn"t get parts for this distributor, he bought an IH distributor my uncle had laying around, rebuilt it with all new parts, installed it. Tractor ran great, didn"t miss a beat. Next time he went to start it, it started doing the same thing all over again. Replaced all the maintenance parts, again. Tractor ran great until the next time he started it up again. New coil. Tractor purred like a kitten that day... You can guess what came next. This time he replaced the springs in the mechanical advance, and once again, it ran great... until he started it up again a few days later of course! Now he can"t get it to run right no matter what he fiddles with. He"s convinced that this distributor is bad and is going to rebuild the Prestolite to try that... Any ideas? I"m afraid he"s chasing his tail and this is a cam or valve issue...
