Thanks Rob. 

I'm still guessing AB model B. It has Doylestown embossed on the rear housings in 3 different places.

If I can get past the magneto being a pain in my neck I might just get it going.

 

You bet, good luck! I have a single cylinder, Novo powered Atomic Babe model A and like those 2 cylinder Wisconsin engines. If you get tired of it, certainly keep me in mind. 

 

Thanks, Rob

Just put the points and condenser in. Looks like I have good blue spark every turn. Tomorrow I'm going to get it timed and move onto the warped Zenith carb.

Yes sir. One step closer

I've been trying to get it timed. 

Still no kick from the engine, just alot of hand cranking.

For the sake of ease while you're trying to spin that beast over can you get a piece of rope strung between that engine and the PTO of another tractor and twist it like a figure 8 so they're both spinning the right way?

Hmmmm that sounds like a good idea. I may have to try that.

I have only a limited quantity of those available per quarter. 

Lucky for me tomorrow's a new one.

I saw the other Atomic Babe owned by the guy I believe you got yours from. According to him they didnt have hoods? Anyways the one I saw was all motor, steel and tires. Would be cool to have seen one right off the assembly line. I never realized how many vintage garden tractors were out there.
