I have my SMTA in a tractor mechanic shop waiting on some hydraulic work to be done. The mechanic said that the starter was bad. So I had them take it to a Starter/ Battery Specialty shop and have it checked. The specialty shop said there was nothing wrong with the starter. It worked good and sounded good. So the mechanic put it back in and tried it a few more times. I listened to the tracter as he cranked on it. The first couple of moments the tractor sounded like it wasn't going to start and then it would immediately pick up speed and fire up. Each time he started it, it would do the same thing. So I had the starter checked again by the the same speciatly shop and he can't find anything wrong. The mechanic has checked all the grounding point for a good connection. It is the original 6V starter with a 12V conversion using a new deep cycle battery completely charged up. What gives? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

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.
