I recently aquired a 1947 Farmall MD. I have always found the gas to deisel switch over engines facinating. I managed to get my MD to start and drive on the trailer after sitting for some 20 plus years. The tractor seems to be dificult to start. I have made sure to switch the tractor back to gas prior to shutting it off but it still starts hard. It always has one cylinder they fires every time while cranking and if I"m lucky it will catch on the other three before my battery goes dead. I put new NGK spark plugs and copper cored plug wires on it. I have cleaned the distributor and everything looks good. Once it starts it runs extreamly smooth on gas. Is there some kind of valve adjustment that I should be checking? I"m not overyly familiar with the engine as of yet. Im" fairly certian that it is not low on compression as it has little blow by and runs great on diesel. What should I be looking for that may hinder starting effectivly?
