I will attempt to answer all the post on this one . Tractor is approximately 65 years old and just a toy for me. I am 72 , possibly only going to start this tractor till I am 82. I only start once a year at best.To fix it correctly would require pulling the engine for a total rebuild. Pistons and liners , rings for this engine approx 1200 bucks plus labor. Cam grind with new bushings 600.00 . Total head rebuild, valves, guides, springs possibly 1000.00. Injectors 1000.00. Bearings and crank service seals , new oil pump 1000.00. Gaskets 300.00. Sixty five year old radiator?? Re core 500.00. Water pump rebuild 100.00.Labor at least 1000.00. New batteries 200.00. This is motor only. If all that expense should not the transmission and differential be rebuilt?? This is for an engine I will only start 20 to possibly 30 times in my life?? The 12 volt batteries I used are 3 to 4 year old batteries removed from two DC Case tractors where batteries are removed for winter. Those batteries are previously removed from pickup therefor may well be much older than 3 or 4. Thus the batteries are not giving all the torque new 12 HD batteries would have. As old friend George has stated he used older 12 volt on his farmall to prevent starter Bendix damage.Tractor does have excellent battery cables of heavy gauge. Therefore in my opinion when the engine starts so well in very few seconds on 24 volts, I do not run long enough to consider charging , therefore generator wire unhooked, It is just not proper to repair correctly for this old man.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
