I appreciate the advice but that isn't the case at all.
First and foremost I've taken everyones advice from day one. I've gone down the checklists piece by piece. Confirmed everything. Checked and re-checked everything. And then checked and re-checked it again.
Secondly...I've also been talking to a half dozen plus folks locally off list that know engines and know tractors. A couple of whom bought H's and M's new back in the day and have been keeping farm equipment running as a matter of economic necessity ever since.
After looking at this thing in a bunch of different ways based on all the great input I've gotten here as well as here at home. One of the guys yesterday said, "it's old like me and once in awhile you've gotta remind it what it's supposed to do." To which he and another suggested "put a shot of gas in each cylinder head - If you've got compression and spark you'll be guaranteed to get a bit of fire and maybe it'll get things moving."
And it did. So yes I anticipate more work yet to come. Fuel line first. But I'm feeling pretty good about the fact that it'll make fire. And it seems like it wants to run now. Which is far better than it had seemed these past few weeks. Maybe it just forgot what it was supposed to do.
So take it as a matter of fact that I'm putting in my due diligence and talking to as many knowledgeable folks as I can and working through this thing piece by piece. I assure you that.
Thanks again everyone for you ideas and insight. I'm sure you'll all be hearing more from me....
