Pullstart 62,881 #26 Posted June 3, 2021 I’ve got spark, I’ve got fuel, I’ve got a tiny puff out the muffler. It must be a points gap thing. I’ll play with the points some more and hear it run soon! But not tonight. 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tractornut86 620 #27 Posted June 3, 2021 The taper frame is the common frame used. The last ones made had a straight frame and a Wisconsin engine but earlier style like yours should be the ZZP. There was also 2 different styles of rear ends. The center section and drop boxes are little different. Yours has the late style. From the looks of it every peice of your tractor been welded on or modified but it's a good start. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,881 #28 Posted June 3, 2021 I got it running! I drove it 4 feet! There’s a noise when I press the clutch in, but I’ll figure that out tomorrow. 6 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,881 #35 Posted June 3, 2021 3 hours ago, 953 nut said: Throughout bearing? It’s part of the pressure plate fingers. I’m torn whether to grind the material away for clearance and risk the material tearing up the clutch disc, or just let it find it’s own way... but I suppose it will throw metal pieces that way too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for your insight! I see the imperfections, but also the efforts made to keep it in the field too. For now, I’ll clean it up and let it tell the story. Some day, maybe re-create some parts and keep what it came with on a shelf. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,881 #44 Posted June 4, 2021 I added a kill button to the magneto and ground the fingers and studs on the pressure plate. No noise in the bellhousing! I have some T-posts to drive today. I suppose I have a reason to drive Jackie around the property! Shucks! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,575 #45 Posted June 4, 2021 11 minutes ago, pullstart said: I added a kill button to the magneto On the magneto tractors that we have, I ran a wire from the mag to a switch that could be accessed from he seat. I know it's not original but I did this as a safety feature. If the need arises you can shut the tractor off without leaving the drivers seat. Thought it important, specially when driving around a crowd of people at a show. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
