Hello; I am new to this website and forum and the whole tractor experience so thanks in advance to anyone who helps with my question(s). I have just acquired a very complete very original 1952 Farmall Cub. It had been sitting for 2-3 years in a nice dry garage. I changeed the oil, put fuel in it, fresh battery and anxiously (like a kid at Christmas) tried to start it. It cranked nicely but wouldn"t start. Going to the basics I checked the fuel/air/spark trio and discovered no spark so I took the distributor cap off and off fell all of the very dry spark plug wires from the cap. Now, after I tune it up I have to figure out which spark plug wire goes where on the cap. I have found the firing order (which I assume #1 cylinder is at the front) but can anyone tell me where each spark plug wire goes on the cap. I know this is stupid but the whole process of finding "Top Dead Center" is past my mechanical and intellectual ability. Thanks again, Lou Chicago

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
