I got my 1942 Allis Chalmers C started and running. Thanks folks for the good advice. However, I still have two problems.
The first might be semi-simple (I hope). The switch from the drivers seat will not shut it off. I assume I just have wires mixed up. I had a "real" mechanic work for me putting the tractor back together, and maybe I trusted him too much. The lights do not work so probably somewhere I need to change out a wire that goes to the magneto to short it out that should have gone to the lights and vice versa. Hopefully it is that easy.
The second problem might be more of a challenge. The tractor seems to run well at idle, but if I speed it up it dies. If I speed it up slowly it works for awhile and then dies. If I try to speed up quickly it dies right away. At idle it seems like it will continue to run. Again I welcome any advice.
