Totally original and in her work clothes, she's always had this XB on her and always will. It has a 6 volt battery that just will turn it over when it's cold but she always cranks on the second or third revolution. Just have these 2 condensors and wondered if they could be checked. Have an extra XB with new parts but bad condensor. Guess I'll just try 'em. Thanks.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Condenser doesn't work right if it isn't grounded right. I still have the 1950 JD B that dad bought new, and it served faithfully for many years with an XB. I put a Delco on it because I went to 12volt and wanted to use a 40K coil. Mike S.   [Reply]  [No Email]
