A few H questions

Posted by Lee on June 06, 2000 at 17:35:11 from (138.87.195.199):

I am a rookie at all this and am needing some help distinguishing between some differences in my H parts book and what I've seen also at shows and all. First off, choke rods. There is a part #51763D for tractors 501-70409 (mid '41) and then another part #60840DA for 70410 and up. What is the difference between the two? I have noticed that many things seemed to change between 40 and 41 according to the serial number breaks in my parts book. I have seen "M and MTA" parts books and they tell the length of them, so I can understand 2 different serial numbers for the M. But can anyone tell me any difference on these?

Secondly, I have found out wiring harnesses are a pain in the tail end. My tractor (mag style w/ starter) has wires basically stretched out all the way from 1 point to the other and have no path, rime or reason for going anywhere but across the engine, around the fuel tank stud, etc. I know I know, a basket case but you can thank the previous owner. :) Now, at shows and via other parts vendors, I have seen many different types of harnesses when it comes to the wires contained in them. I have seen harnesses with only 2 wires in them, 3 wires (2 wires with a starter lead), and then 3 wires (what they called 2 wires and then the mag to on/off switch wire). I have then seen others offer just the starter lead wire and the kill switch wire alone.

I about bought a 2 wire harness in Waukee, IA a few weeks ago but wanted to make sure I got the right one by getting on here and asking. By the way, can anyone tell me about a company named OEM Tractor Parts in IL, whether they are good or not? That is who I was gonna get the harness from. The ones they had there were cloth braded with the colored tracers and all and looked really sharp. But, I don't think it would make the rust bucket look any nicer, maybe only put a little value to it. :)

I would greatly appreciate your help and I know I will have more questions and I know where to come.
