Hi Guys, Fight is over! Darned tractor blew a head gasket. Okay, fine. Took the head off, sent it to the machine shop, emptied the bank account until the teller glared at me to get the head back out of hock, put 'er on and the tractor won't run right. Just knew the darned valves were stickin' in the guides. I've had it happen before. Sure didn't want to pull that head again so I started doing some checking. Wait a minute! The darned old rascal has compression! If the valves were hangin' she wouldn't have any wind to speak of. Okay, time to stop cussin' the machinist. More checking. Say, that spark just doesn't look right. Check it at the coil tower and it just isn't consistant on the secondary. Aw ha! Must have a bad coil, 'cause I just put in a new pick-up ignition system a couple of months ago. So, we put a new coil on and no joy. Same darned thing, 'cept now it doesn't run at all. Now, hold the phone. The darned tractor was running like a million bucks 'til it blew that head gasket, what the heck is going on? Bottom line, solid state ignition went belly up. Put the points back in and it purrs like a kitten. I have no idea why either. What ruined the ignition? :>( Side note: Darned camera is quick. That engine was running at about 1,000 rpm when I snapped the picture. Stopped that fan and rockers in their tracks. :>) Allan

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
