That is what my husband thinks it is also. He has been talking about dressing the flywheel down with his dremel. It is puzzling since it was starting the tractor with only one or two buzzes before engaging. We started it last Thursday evening with only a couple of buzzes and hooked up our hay fork on the loader, then Friday morning, it started once, and the next time we killed it, we had to pull it to start. The starter has not engaged since. My husband turned the flywheel enough (3 or 4 times) to move the tractor forward 6 inches or more, trying to get to a new place in the flywheel, but no change at all. I think he will try dressing up the flywheel thru the starter opening tomorrow. We can't afford the down time of tearing this thing in half if there is any other way. Friday, I raked hay, unhooked the rake and hooked up to the rear bale spear, hauled 20 round bales to the barn, then my husband stacked them in the barn with the tractor before killing it. This afternoon, we hooked up the finish mower and mowed about an acre or more. Having to park on a hill and roll it off is a pain. Hopefully dressing the flywheel will help. Thanks for your suggestions, all of you. I'll try to let you know how it comes out.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
