We have left a red rag in the intake manifold to keep dirt out and put the tractor back together without removing the rag. The John Deere A sucked the rag through the valve train and burnt it in the combustion chambers and when it left the exhaust system it looked like the 4th of July! When I was about 10 we were going to belt start a 90 hp. single cylinder engine. This engine was so big that the exhaust pipe was about 10" - 12" diameter. We used a 5 gallon galvanized can to keep the rain out of it since it sat out for a couple of nights. We started turning the big engine over and holding the exhaust vavle in. Once we got the rpms. up we turned the gas on and let the exhaust valve go and she fired right up. The problem was we forgot about the 5 gallon galvinized bucket, it went into the air about 50' to 75'. You want to talk about people running trying to get away from that bucket / missle!

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
