Holy t-shirts Batman!!! I am beat. It's been a VERY long time since I pulled bales out of a baler. Man are my hinges a-hurtin'! I couldn't thank my Uncle enough for providing actual two-cylinder power to do all of the raking & baling, yesterday & today. That's actually some pretty smooth power that comes from the PTO on those JD A's. It wasn't all clunky, like I had imagined (No, I don't get out much. Lol!)
Ok, I had enough ooomph left in my britches to do a poor man's compression test & check the points. The points look pretty much like they did when they were new, last fall. Proper gap 'n' all. Shoot! I forgot to check the manifold. I'll get to it tomorrow. The compression on cyl's 3 & 4 was enough to throw my hand against that nasty little curved-in edge that runs along the bottom of the hood. That %&%#*^ thing hurt! Finger got a little hot, too. The compression on 1 & 2 was about half that. I'm going in to the dealership tomorrow to borrow a compression tester. I'll report my findings then & keep an eye open on this post in the mean time.

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.
