Hey Folks,
My buddy is currently away at Basic Training for the Army and I would love to surprise him when he comes home for Christmas by having his H running. It ran last about 2 years ago when it crapped out on him while raking hay. In a hurry to get finished raking he parked the tractor and grabbed the fancy cab tractor to finish raking. Well the tractor has been sitting in the barn ever since due to him changing jobs, having baby, etc., he never had time to get it running again or even trouble shoot it for that matter.
So I'm starting with nothing to go off of other then that I can remember him complaining about the tractor not charging and he thought the points were maybe going bad too. So I would like some advice. Here is what I've done so far...first thing I did was change the oil in it. I looked over the electrical and the wires seem to all have good connections and no breaks anywhere. Plugs seem to be fairly new in it, haven't actually pulled them out yet. Put the charger on the battery, (yes its going to need a new battery) but I did manage to get the tractor to turn over a few times. Not fast enough to start but she did turn over.
The ignition switch is very hard to pull out so I'm not sure if that's bad or not, I guess I could pull it off and check it but for 10 bucks if I'm pulling it off I'm going to go ahead and replace it.
The voltage regulator is broken at the grounding points on the back. I am going to pick up a new one for it. My first of many questions I'm sure is, after I put in a fresh battery, get a new VR (and of course polarize the Genny), if the tractor still will not fire what would be the next thing I should look into replacing?
Thanks for your help, really hoping to be able to get the ole girl running and pull in his driveway after he's home with a big bow on the front and surprise him. He loves raking hay with it!
