I have a 49 farmall m that I recently overhauled with over-bore stepped pistons, and had the head redone. The tractor starts good and runs great under a load. If there is no load or is idling it will cough out of the exhaust almost like a slight miss, nut again under load it pulls strong and smooth. I do not believe it is a fuel problem since acceleration is smooth and crisp and all mixture screws respond well. The engine had been overhauled in the past to thin sleeves and I have not verified if the distributor has been messed with to back the total advance off. During an ignition tune-up after the overhaul I noticed that the distributor cam has a fair amount of play, to the point that when wiggling side to side I can change the point gap. I was wondering how probable it is that my running issue is caused by this worn distributor, and what would the best course of action be- rebuild,replace or just convert to electronic ignition.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
