rrlund: It seems like it still boils down to location nation wide and local dealerships. I know many of you are treated like step children by JD with the mega dealerships.

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.
