The "Ol 42 M Lives again"! Many Thanks go Out to Bob/Ole Shovel/Cowman/John T/Mike Farmer for helping me thru Rebuilding My J4 Mag! Finished putting it back together this morning on my front porch in the sunshine. stuck it back on the mount. 2 tries on the timing setup....replace the plug wires, shoot some sleepy gas in the carb!....It rolls over three times, shoots a 3ft. column of flame out the exhaust and starts running like a naked monkey! Holy Crap! I've got 70lbs of Oil Pressure and no smoke....I think I'm going to Church tommorrow, This is God telling me I need to come visit awhile. To all you guys Thanks a Million. Now comes the fun part, the Restoration :D :D :D
 
ha ha awsome news. Makes ya feel good don't it. Whats your serial # by chance? My 42 M is 52796, not too many 42's around my neck of the woods.
 
#59181, Rolled off the line the third week December '42'. Was almost a 1943 baby. Yes i'm estatic, I've had it since Xmas and I wanted to get it running before I spent the time tearing it down, cleaning and painting. Don't want to spend that kind of $$$ just to have it turn into a rolling BBQ. Course that don't sound half bad either! :wink:
 
OOPs! My Bad, Make that the 3rd week of July not Dec. Don't want the Correct police to smite me...
