Sunday I snaked out a friends Super MTA from his shed, not telling him. It was up against the back wall behind some equipment including Allis Chalmers tractors. Last evening we pushed it in the shed; removed a badly corroded, dead battery and box; cleaned the plugs; then put a temporary positive ground cable on. He pulled the switch, choked it and off it ran after sitting idle for six to seven years......amazing!
Added a lot of coolant and an oil-filter change will be in order. We pulled it backwards a tractor length to free a stuck clutch and it was then under its own power.
The old girl is really dirty and oily but, with a hot shower, it is going to a tractor show this Friday to Sunday in it's work clothes. I'm gonna take a dirty, then clean photo of her. Straight sheet metal, fenders, good tires, rear weights, lights, working gauges, a 'U' shaped drawbar and a rain cap that dances...what more could we ask for!
A new positive cable is needed and we measured out the front of the box, down and back to the lower left-rear corner of the box ~ 38" - 40". This a.m. peeking at Tractordata dot com I saw a photo that showed the cable coming out the top left side of the box, a few inches from the rear and running down to the same bolt. Could someone please verify the correct route for the ground cable? Someone on his has taken a torch and cut a hole out the left rear side of the box, tain't correct at all.

This tractor's rear light was attached by a make shift bracket to the lower right rear corner of the box.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
