COMMANDO1 23 #1 Posted April 4, 2011 I am trying to get my alis chalmers homsteader running. the starter was turning very slow w/ a full charge. took apart and cleaned all. she is now spinning good. my prob now is i have no spark. here is what im thinking. this tractor has a key slot and push button start. the starter will engage with button and no key(which i do not have) question....do i need the key turned on to generate spark?

zieg72 209 #2 Posted April 4, 2011 I would think that is why the key switch is there, on/off... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COMMANDO1 23 #3 Posted April 4, 2011 does anyone have a key for this tractor? also i posted last week about a c-195 i found. finally bought it. spoke to owner over the phone and he swears the engine is not locked up...needs work but at $50.00 cant go wrong. can part it out for more.

zieg72 209 #4 Posted April 4, 2011 I am pretty sure I remember getting AC parts from a Simplicity dealer on IN-41. It has been several years ago so I don't remember which one. They may have a key. You could always remove the switch for now and jump the wires to get it running and deal with it later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
